| '''The Distant Spring''' ({{j|大水源|Dai suigen|Big Spring}}) is the fourth [[area]] in {{p1}}. It is set in a huge wetland, with sandy and grassy terrain, many lakes and islands, and several hollow tree stumps. It contains 10 [[ship part]]s and is unlocked by collecting 12 ship parts in the previous areas. The [[Enemy|enemies]] in this area are challenging and are often found in [[water]], with several [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, [[Water Dumple]]s, and [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s. This area was re-used in {{p2}} as the [[Perplexing Pool]].
| |
|
| |
|
| The Distant Spring tends to become slightly more dangerous as days pass; for instance, [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s will begin appearing after the fifteenth day, and more [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s and [[Puffy Blowhog]]s will also slowly appear. Inexperienced players may wish to complete this area before this point. | | '''The Distant Spring''' is the fourth area Olimar discovers on [[Pikmin (game)|his first visit]] to the [[PNF-404|Pikmin Planet]]. It is part of a huge wetland at the edge of the forest (and thusly named "The Distant Spring"). The terrain is mostly aquatic with unique creatures spread throughout. This land also is home to a plurality of [[Captain Olimar]]'s missing [[ship part]]s, of which there are ten. The [[Perplexing Pool]] bears resemblance to The Distant Spring. They feature similar maps and similar looking ledges, and the same tree trunks. |
|
| |
|
| An optional boss, the [[Smoky Progg]], can be fought if this area is visited before the sixteenth day. While one of the most dangerous enemies in the game, defeating it will grant a pearl that can be turned into 100 Pikmin at an Onion, the most out of any enemy.

| The Distant Spring is the largest area in the first [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' game]]. Water covers a great portion of the area. In the center lies the landing site, along with several hollow tree stumps. To the north is a small pond where the [[Number 2 Ionium Jet|#2 Ionium Jet]] and the [[Chronos Reactor]] can be found. To the east, there is a wall maze with the [[UV Lamp]], blocked by a small path filled with [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, [[Puffy Blowhog]]s, and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. To the west are the areas with the [[Gluon Drive]], [[Zirconium Rotor]], and [[Pilot's Seat]], which are located in large tree stumps. Finally, to the south lies a small river with some islands where the [[Smoky Progg]] (before [[day]] 15) and the [[Interstellar Radio]] (inside a [[Puffy Blowhog]]) can be found. There are several [[Water Dumple]]s in this area. | | The Distant Spring is the largest area in the first [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' game]]. Water covers a great portion of the area.

| In this area, [[bomb-rock]]s in groups of 5 (though sometimes 4 appear instead) are found in giant skulls; the creatures they once belonged to being as of yet unknown.

| ==Key sections==
| |
| {{game help|p}}
| |
| === Landing site ===
| |
| This section is normally clear of any creatures in the area unless the Smoky Progg is out and about or the nearby [[Puffy Blowhog]] involves itself in the undertakings of Captain Olimar and his Pikmin. Shearwigs close to the landing site also prove to be a nuisance but they are easily disposed of.
| |
| | |
| === Smoky Progg's islands ===
| |
| Directly south of the landing site is a cluster of small islands that surround the egg of the [[Smoky Progg]], a secret boss that can only be fought on or before day fifteen.
| |
| | |
| === The Northeast ===
| |
| Practically the entire northeastern portion of The Distant Spring's central landmass is heavily congested by the area's native wildlife, primarily [[Spotty Bulbear]]s and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. Extreme caution should be exercised whilst exploring this hostile territory, for one wrong move can result in heavy Pikmin casualties.

| ===Ship parts===

| *{{icon|Repair-type Bolt|y}}: Immediately beside the landing site is a ledge. Guiding Pikmin along this ledge leads to the part.
| |
| *{{icon|Massage Machine|y}}: Near the landing site, going straight from the Dolphin, is a bridge leading to a beach containing a [[Spotty Bulbear]], two skulls containing ten [[bomb rock]]s total, a blue [[Candypop Bud]] and this part.
| |
| *{{icon|Interstellar Radio|y}}: Going into the vast water, past the [[Smoky Progg]] egg are several [[Water Dumple]]s and a [[Puffy Blowhog]]. The Blowhog has the part.
| |
| *{{icon|Gluon Drive|y}}: Going past the two Bulbears and two Blowhogs behind the Dolphin leads to a river that has bridges on both sides. The part on the other side of these bridges.
| |
| *{{icon|UV Lamp|y}}: Beyond the reinforced [[gate]] near the landing site is a complex structure, found to the right. The part is at the end of the series of ledges that form a path.
| |
| *{{icon|Zirconium Rotor|y}}: Beyond the Gluon Drive is a gate guarded by two [[Yellow Wollywog]]s. Destroying this gate allows access to this part.
| |
| *{{icon|Pilot's Seat|y}}: There are three tree trunks opposite the Zirconium Rotor. This part is located inside one of the trunks.
| |
| *{{icon|Bowsprit|y}}: Near the landing site are a series of large tree trunks that can only be accessed from the opposite side. Inside the one nearest the landing site is an [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] that has the part.
| |
| *{{icon|Chronos Reactor|y}}: Traveling in a straight line from the reinforced wall beside the landing site leads to this part, atop a tall ledge. Both a blue and yellow [[Candypop Bud]] are located nearby.
| |
| *{{icon|Number 2 Ionium Jet|y|n=#2 Ionium Jet}}: Directly beside the Chronos Reactor is this part, sitting atop a stone structure.

| |
| [[File:Pikmin challenge.png|thumb|250px|Fighting a [[Puffstool]] in Challenge Mode.]]
| |
| The Distant Spring is the hardest stage in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], giving the player 18 minutes and 54 seconds to reach a maximum score of 752 Pikmin. The maximum score is extremely difficult to reach, due to the large number of dangerous [[Enemy|enemies]] compared to the other Challenge Mode stages, and the fact that most enemies drop randomly-colored [[pellet]]s which have to be carried to the right [[Onion]] to get the most Pikmin. The maximum score has never been reached by a human in the GameCube and Wii versions, and has only been done as a [[tool-assisted superplay]].{{cite youtube|_p1wH5CkmkM|of a tool-assisted superplay of The Distant Spring in Challenge Mode in which 752 points are reached}} Due to the much lower frequency of the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] in the [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]] making enemies much less threatening, the challenge is significantly more feasible and has been successfully been done by a human.{{cite youtube|R_8yqJhVTI4|of the first The Distant Spring Challenge Mode attempt by a human to reach 752 points}}
