=== Dandori Challenge 1 ===
The entrance is found at the top of the buildable climbing wall past the Misshapen Pond base (on the way to the [[Kingdom of Beasts]]), with the only other obstacle being the nearby [[Waddlequaff]].

=== Dandori Challenge 2 ===
This cave is found near the back of the area accessed from across the buildable bridge near the Sunwashed Plateau. Next to the potted plant, it can be found behind a stone wall, requiring 3 [[bomb rock]]s to destroy it. You can buy these from [[Russ]], though bomb rocks can also be found in multiple dirt mounds around the area.

=== Dandori Battle ===
A [[Dandori Battle]] cave can be found near the first base, Fragrant Ravine. It is found toward the center river, on top of a large box. There are no obstacles obstructing its entrance. The player can find the same leafy individual that was in [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]] holding another [[castaway]].

== Olimar's Shipwreck Tale ==
{{infobox area

|parts        = 8
|onions       = 4
|requirements = Recover 2 ship parts

}}
The Blossoming Arcadia is the second area [[Captain Olimar]] explores in his [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale|Shipwreck Tale]].

===Plot===
Captain Olimar lands in the Blossoming Arcadia to continue his search for any missing parts for his ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]]. He manages to find eight of his missing pieces along with the discovery of Blue Pikmin and a space dog called [[Moss]]. He finds Moss lying on the ground and feeds her a [[Scrummy Bone]], which revitalizes her. She then chooses to help Olimar in his search to recover his lost ship parts.

=== Layout ===
The layout of the Blossoming Arcadia in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale is almost identical to that of the one in the main game. The major differences are the objects and enemies present, along with the caves entrances not being present. The body of water that is usually in the centre of the map is now a body of mud. Unlike water, the mud does not prohibit non-Blue Pikmin to cross it, but slows down anything that wades through it.

==== Bases ====
* Fragrant Ravine: unguarded.
* Sunwashed Plateau: the default landing site
* Misshapen Pond: unguarded.
