'''Hot Sandy Duel''' is the fifth [[Dandori Battle]] stage in {{p4}}. It is a sandy stage focusing on [[fire]], with fiery enemies, [[fire starter]]s, and [[dried plant]]s present. In [[Story Mode]], the opponent is [[Louie]]. In Dandori Battle mode is it unlocked by completing a match of [[Leafy Showdown]]. It has a time limit of 5 minutes.

==How to reach==
The player must first unlock the [[Giant's Hearth]] by winning [[Leafy Showdown]] and curing [[Captain Olimar]]. In this area, the entrance can be found near the opposite end of the map from the first base, with several different paths leading to it. 

It can be entered with just Oatchi, but to transport the [[castaway]] to the base, its recommended the player take out [[Blue Pikmin]] or [[Winged Pikmin]] once they leave, or first drain the water surrounding the entrance.

==Layout==
Hot Sandy Duel takes place in a square-shaped sandpit, with lateral symmetry instead of the rotational symmetry found in other stages. The bases are on the north and south edges. Lit bonfire altars containing [[fire starter]]s are located in the northwest and southwest corners. Between these on the western edge is a low area surrounded by [[dried plant]]s except for a few gaps. These plants can be burned with the fire starters, or they can be burned by the [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]es that spawn in the middle of the battle. 6 [[Sunseed Berry|Sunseed Berries]] are located behind additional dried plants on the western edge, and a [[Fiery Bulblax]] guards a large pile of nuggets.

In the east, there are plastic pots in the corners with [[Zest Bomb]]s on top that can be knocked off with a Rush from Oatchi or Moss, guarded by [[Water Dumple]]s. Between these is a high area with two [[Insect Condo]]s surrounded by rings of dried plants, with a [[Scorchcake]] and a pile of nuggets in between.
