Cameo appearances and references

In his second adventure, Captain Olimar is joined by Louie as they enlist the help of the Pikmin to collect various treasures.

Captains Olimar and Louie are based on Mario and Luigi, as evidenced by their names and stature. Olimar's name is directly translated from his Japanese name, Orimā, which is a rearrangement of the name "Mario." Louie (Rūi in the Japanese game) is, of course, a shortened "Luigi." Olimar is short and stocky, while Louie is taller and skinnier, matching the Mario brothers mold.

Treasure

Some of the treasures are fictional Mario-related merchandise and items from past Mario games.

Decorative Goo [2]
"Mario Paints" brand tube of blue paint. An obvious reference to Mario Paint.
Master's Instrument [2]
"Mario Paints" brand "Peach Pink" oil stick.
Flame of Tomorrow
"Bowser Breath Brand" box of matches. Fake telephone number on the side of the box reads "555-TROOPAS".
Unspeakable Wonder [2]
Princess Peach's crown.
The Key
The key from Super Mario World.
