'''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''' ({{j|大水源|Dai suigen|Big Spring}}) is the fourth [[area]] in {{p1}}.

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.

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 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. While it is theoretically possible to reach this score,{{cite youtube|_p1wH5CkmkM|of a tool-assisted superplay of the level in which 752 points are reached}} no human has reached it, with the highest recorded score being 728.{{cite youtube|1dmeIDoCPJs|of a Challenge Mode run with 728 points}} The reason for its difficulty is 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. | ||
