'''Pikmin Park''' is a feature in {{hp}}. It is a place where gathered [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can play around and be safe, but it is also the source of some [[Sparklium]]. This Sparklium, be it in the form of [[treasure]]s or bundles of Sparklium Seeds, is hidden beneath clutter in the park, which can be cleaned up by the Pikmin in the park. Some of the rubble has a specific [[hazard]], meaning only certain types of Pikmin can clear it. The more Pikmin there are cleaning something, the faster it gets done, but progress is only made when an [[area]] is completed (whether it's the first time completing the area or not), even if that progress does not result in anything yet. The Park is also where the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] crash-lands and stays, meaning it is the rendezvous point for Olimar and the ship's pod after an [[area]] is completed. | |||

During the opening [[cutscene]], Pikmin can be seen playing around in the Pikmin Park, next to the [[Onion]]. The [[S.S. Dolphin II]] crash-lands right next to the Onion. After [[Captain Olimar]] comes to, he and the ship's pod decide to head forward in the area to search for [[Sparklium]]. This is where he finds the [[Red Pikmin]] and the first few Sparklium Seeds. Following this, the pod takes him to the first main area, [[First Expedition]]. | During the opening [[cutscene]], Pikmin can be seen playing around in the Pikmin Park, next to the [[Onion]].

After that area is completed, the ship recommends that [[Olimar]] brings the Pikmin he's found so far to a safe place. This doesn't include the Pikmin found in the Pikmin Park at the start of the game, since those got left behind when the initial exploration of the park finished. It then proceeds to beam up both Olimar and the Pikmin. After this, the Pikmin Park opens, and the Pikmin found are placed there, being the first ones to populate the park from here on out.

While discussing the park, the S.S. Dolphin II points out that it found Sparklium readings within the park, but does not know where it is. The gathered Pikmin prove themselves useful here, as Olimar orders them to clean out the central part of the park. They start plucking away at the blades of grass there. After a short conversation, the ship points out that the Pikmin found something: the [[Distortion Chamber]]. Realizing that the Pikmin won't find anything else for a while, the ship tells Olimar to order the Pikmin to continue cleaning, as the duo heads off to a new area. | ||
== | == Types of clutter == | ||
* Grass: A small patch of tall grass. Pikmin pluck and carry away one blade at a time. Any Pikmin type can take care of it. | |||
* Fireplace: A bundle of sticks on fire. Pikmin take a bit of wood at a time. Only [[Red Pikmin]] will clear them. | |||
* [[Electrical wire]]: A bundle of wires with exposed conductors, and with current running through them. Pikmin take a piece of wire sheath at a time. Only [[Yellow Pikmin]] will clear them. | |||
* Plants: A group of leafs and underwater plants in a lake. Pikmin take a small bundle of plant matter at a time. Only [[Blue Pikmin]] will clear them. | |||
* [[Crystal]]s: A solid crystals. Pikmin chip away a piece of the crystal and take it away, one at a time. Only [[Rock Pikmin]] will clear them. | |||
* Pebbles: A piles of rocks on top of a tall pot. Pikmin take one pebble at a time. Only [[Winged Pikmin]] will clear them. | |||
Pikmin will only clean up grass if there is nothing else they can clean instead in that section. | |||
In addition, if the entrance is empty, there is a chance that a [[Coppeller]] carrying a Sparklium Seed will appear there. Pikmin can be ordered to go there to shoo it away, and make it drop what it was carrying. | |||

This is the location where the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] crash-landed, and where the [[Onion]] is. When a new type of Pikmin is added to the park, it ends up here. Groups of Pikmin that manage to uncover something will also return to this section. If the entrance does not have any Pikmin in it, there is a chance that a [[Coppeller]] carrying a [[Sparklium Seed]] of some type will show up. Ordering some Pikmin to this section will make the creature drop what it is carrying, and will award the player with it. | |||

Each section also has icons on it that represent what types of clutter are still there, but since all icons would not fit, it only shows the most prominent ones. A section will either show the starting set of icons, or no icons at all – for instance, Eastern Pikmin Park has lake plants, electrical wires, and pebbles in pots, but only icons for lake plants and electrical wires. If Pikmin clean out all lake plants and electrical wires, but there are still pebbles left to clean, the icons on the bottom screen will still be the same ones. When everything is cleaned in the section, all icons in that section vanish. Cleaned sections will also be tinted in blue. | Each section also has icons on it that represent what types of clutter are still there, but since all icons would not fit, it only shows the most prominent ones.

* If the player idles on the Pikmin Park for 3 minutes, the ship will eventually interrupt and say "Captain Olimar, why don't we leave this place to the Pikmin and go and explore somewhere else? The Pikmin know the drill when it comes to looking for Sparklium by now. We can leave them to their work." This helps players understand that waiting will not bring any progress, but exploring areas will.
