The white one can dig under ground, and also has poison in it's mouth to not only kill enemies quicker, but also deactivate poles that shoot out poison.

Plot
Once Captain Olimar arrives back on his home planet, he finds out that his company is has gone bankrupt.

The president then makes Olimar and his coworker Louie go off and get more treasure from the planet to sell.

Characters

 * Captain Olimar - The main character in the game. He, along with Louie, will go down to the planet and find treasure.

Gameplay
The gameplay goes in the same route that the original goes. It is a uniqe strategy game that involves you to control up to 100 Pikmin. In all, there are five main Pikmin types in all, though two of them (purple and white), are the rarest of them all, seeing as you can only find them underground in certain areas, and even there you won't find many.

The biddable Pikmin will always follow one of the two captains unless they are commanded not to, which is even more proof of how biddable they actually are. To make them go in a straight line, you can use the C stick, to make them attack a certain enemy you can either use the c stick and guide them there or just throw them on top of the enemy to discomfit their plans to destroy your army.

Types of Pikmin

 * Blue Pikmin - Can survive in the water, and will act as a life guard for other drowning Pikmin
