'''The Distant Spring''' is the fourth area Olimar discovers on [[Pikmin (game)|his first visit]] to the [[Pikmin Planet]]. It is part of a huge wetland at the edge of the forest (and thusly named "Distant Spring"). The terrain is mostly aquatic with unique creatures spread throughout. This land also is home to most of [[Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar's]] missing ship parts, 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. However, several gates are gone in the Perplexing Pool.

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

[[Bomb-rock]]s in this area are found in giant skulls. 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 Wogpoles to the west.

In Challenge Mode, [[Spotty Bulborb]]s are found all over the land area. [[Pearly Clamclamp]]s are also found in different locations.

*The Enemy Reel shows the Distant Spring having different enemies, ship parts, and being more plain, without the hollow tree stumps.

*If the player goes to the Distant Spring on day 4, the Puffy Blowhog nearest of the landing site and the Swooping Snitchbugs will not appear.
