| '''The Distant Spring''' ({{j|大水源|Dai suigen|Big Spring}}) is the fourth [[area]] in {{p1}}. It is set in a vast 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 [[Planet of the Pikmin|Pikmin Planet]]. The terrain is mostly aquatic with unique creatures spread throughout. This land also is home to most of [[Captain Olimar]]'s missing ship parts, of which there are ten. The [[Perplexing Pool]] from ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' bears resemblance to the Distant Spring. They feature similar maps and similar looking hedges, and the same tree stumps. However, several gates are gone in the Perplexing Pool, also the addition of a large shower base. |
|
| |
|
| An optional boss, the [[Smoky Progg]], can be fought if this area is visited before the 15th 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. | |
|
| |
|
| 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. One of them is inside a hollow tree stump guarded by a Spotty Bulbear near the landing site, and another one in the beach where the [[Massage Machine]] is found. There is another skull near the pool with [[Wogpole]]s to the West.

|
| |
|
| In the main story mode, the area is laid out with Spotty Bulbears, Dwarf Bulbears, [[Yellow Wollywog]]s, and Water Dumples. After day 4, two [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s survey the area, looking for Pikmin to capture and throw into the ground.
| |
|
| |
|
| In Challenge Mode, [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]s are found all over the land area, instead of Spotty Bulbears. [[Pearly Clamclamp]]s are also found in different locations, and two [[Puffstool]]s walk around in different areas. | | In Challenge Mode, [[Spotty Bulbear]]s are found all over the land area. [[Pearly Clamclamps]] are also found in different locations. |

| | *[[Yellow Wollywog]] |
| === Landing site ===
| | *[[Mamuta]] |
| 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.
| | *[[Pearly Clamclamp]] |
| | | *[[Fiery Blowhog]] |
| === Smoky Progg's islands ===
| | *[[Dwarf Red Bulborb]] |
| 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.
| | *[[Red Bulborb]] |
| | | *[[Puffstool]] |
| === The Northeast ===
| | *[[Iridescent Flint Beetle]] |
| 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.

| 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}}

| *The [[enemy reel]] in the Gamecube and Wii versions shows The Distant Spring having different enemies, ship parts, and being more plain, without the hollow tree stumps. This is most likely a [[Pikmin prerelease information|prototype version]] leftover.
