Castaways are characters in Pikmin 4 that are stranded on PNF-404, similarly to Olimar. A Main Quest in the game is to rescue every one of them. There are thirty characters who can be 'rescued' and appear in the Castaway Menu. Some are minor characters, some are Rescue Corps members, and Louie and Olimar also need to be saved.
Oatchi, Collin, Shepherd, Yorke, Don Bergman, Nelle, Olimar, and Louie are all found in specific locations, but all other Castaways are rescued in a specific order. For example, the player's first rescue will always be Russ, whether in the Last-Frost Cavern or the Crackling Cauldron (or any other accessible cave).
Some castaways are Leaflings. Leaflings are unlocked separately from other Castaways, and are found at specific Dandori Battles or Dandori Challenges, or lying down in some caves. They then rest in the Rescue Command Post for a while until the Glow Sap is acquired to purify them.
