After you erase the debt, Louie is left behind on the planet, and the President goes to help Olimar find him (albeit while collecting the planet's remaining treasure). When switching to him while playing after that, he calls himself "shachō" which is the Japanese term for "company president" (although it's commonly mistaken as "Schyaco", "Syecho", etc.). He becomes a playable character from then on, and takes Louie's place as a Pikmin leader. When Louie is recaptured, Louie doesn't become a leader again, rather a treasure in the Treasure Hoard. In Other Pikmin Games Aside from Pikmin 2, the president is mentioned in Pikmin and Pikmin 3. In Pikmin, Olimar references him in various entries for ship parts and daily logs. In this game, he is simply referred to as "Boss", more specifically Olimar's Boss. In Pikmin 3, The President has more appearances than in Pikmin. He is seen in various different Data Files explaining controls and other things. Oddly, he has an Orange Suit in the Files, where he has a black suit with a Yellow Backpack in Pikmin 2. He also makes a cameo appearance as a snowman in the Distant Tundra, in which the nose is an Iron Ball which can be pushed out of place. He is referenced by Olimar in his various log entries. The President also appears in Bingo Battle as a "Give it a Spin!" Item. Traits and Abilities The President displays many of the same abilities of Olimar and Louie. Strangely, even though Louie had his spacesuit on with all the upgrades that the player had acquired at the end of the game, the President's spacesuit displays all of these power-ups. This spacesuit consists of the suit he wore while on Hocotate (suggesting that it is airtight), and a helmet. His life-support backpack is a golden color. His whistle sounds more like a car horn than a whistle. His spacesuit antenna beacon bears the same blue light as Louie's helmet.
