'''The Impact Site''' ({{j|遭難地点|Sōnan Chiten|Shipwreck Point}}) is the first [[area]] in {{p1}}. It is set in a woodland area and, as its name implies, is the site where the [[S.S. Dolphin]] crash-lands at the start of the game, serving as a tutorial area since it is where [[Captain Olimar]] first discovers the Pikmin. The area only contains two [[ship part]]s, one of which is collected on day 1. [[Red Pikmin]] are discovered in this area and it contains very few enemies, though two [[boss]]es, the [[Mamuta]] and the [[Goolix]], do appear on alternating days from day 8 onwards. This area was reused in {{p2}} as part of the [[Wistful Wild]].
'''The Impact Site''' is where [[Captain Olimar]] first lands after his [[S.S. Dolphin|ship]] crashes on the [[Planet of the Pikmin]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', and so the first day is spent there. The area is near the edge of the vast forest on the area select map, not far from the [[Forest of Hope]]. The Impact Site is the location of the discovery of the [[Red Onion]] with its associated [[Red Pikmin]]. This area and the [[Final Trial]] make up the [[Wistful Wild]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. This area is the least visited in a regular playthrough, but is also the best one to increase Pikmin population.

This area features some lush green grass terrain and natural environments, giving it a forest-like vibe. The area consists of a small pool of water that is not accessible on day 1, a number of tree stumps, and a few relatively small grassy clearings. It is not very large in size, since it is mostly meant to teach the player how the game works. The main defining parts of the area are quite open, but the paths between them are very narrow, which helps split the area into well-defined sections. This, combined with the area progression's linear nature, makes it an easy area to navigate. Even so, it manages to incorporate slanted terrain and a fair amount of vertical variation, which helps the player understand that the ground is not flat all the time.
 
The Impact Site contains only two ship parts, one of which is collected on the first day in the tutorial-like beginning of the game. After day 1, the amount of [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] increases, and some enemies start to appear: the large amounts of pellets from then on make this area arguably the best place for boosting Pikmin population. The only hazard in the area is [[water]], but it cannot be reached on day 1, which stops the player from having Pikmin killed before they are ready to understand the consequences.
 
There are two main sections to this area: the grassy plain where Olimar lands, to the south, and the beach section with a large tree trunk to the north. To reach the trunk, the player must first push the [[cardboard box]] out of the way on day 1. Reaching the beach requires breaking down a [[Reinforced wall|stone wall]], with the help of [[Yellow Pikmin]].
 
Starting on day 8, the large tree stump near the water becomes the only location of the [[Goolix]] and the [[Mamuta]] in this game, with the former being found on odd-numbered days, and the latter on even-numbered days.
 
Every source of Pikmin in this area will respawn daily, making this area one of the best to increase the Pikmin population. The highest amount of Pikmin one could raise in The Impact Site in one day is 354, requiring the player to hit all 3 Flint Beetles the maximum of 8 times each, and for Goolix to be present.

=== Key sections ===
 
==== Crash site ====
This is the landing site for the area. The terrain is quite open and flat, except for the tree stumps that have small paths curving upwards, some higher tree stumps that cannot be reached, and one or two higher ledges that help show the importance of [[throw]]ing Pikmin. There are a few Pellet Posies here, as well as a 10 pellet of each color on the large stump. To the north, this area connects to the Main Engine room, but is initially blocked off by a [[cardboard box]].
 
==== Main Engine room ====
This is the small area that holds the [[Main Engine]]. It is quite crowded and small, serving mostly to suggest the importance of navigating an area and utilizing the objects scattered around for the player's advantage. There is a ramp at the center of this room that can be used to access the stump arena, after the cardboard box has been pushed to create a bridge. On later days [[Bomb rock|bomb-rocks]] can be found inside the box, which may be used to destroy the [[Reinforced wall|stone wall]] with the help of [[Yellow Pikmin]].


==== Stump arena ====
==General layout==
This large open stump is where the player fights either the Goolix or the Mamuta, depending on the day. It has walls stopping the player from walking out of it, except to the east, where the access cardboard box is, and to the west, where there is a stone wall leading to the pond. Some of the walls surrounding the arena have high ledges with pellets resting on them.

The level consists of a small pool of water, not accessible on day 1, a number of tree stumps, and a few relatively small grassy clearings. It contains only two ship parts, one of which is collected on the first day in the tutorial-like beginning of the game. After day 1, the amount of [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] increases, and some enemies appear: the large amounts of pellets from then on make this area arguably the best place for boosting Pikmin population. It is also the only location of the [[Goolix]], one of the game's hidden bosses, which can only be found on odd-numbered days after day 8, on the large tree stump near the water.


==== Pond ====
The [[bomb-rocks]] in this area are found inside the box that the Pikmin have to push.
This section has a beach and a large pond. The beach connects all the way to the south, where it curves and leads back down to the crash site, although it is blocked by a [[Bramble gate|white bramble gate]]. This is a one-way path, since the beach is at a higher level. This section houses three [[Pearly Clamclamp]]s, as well as a red 20 pellet and a blue 20 pellet. One of the Clamclamps also holds the [[Positron Generator]], and must be defeated in order to obtain it.

{{Guide}}
 
After gaining control of [[Captain Olimar]], head towards the [[Onion#Red Onion|Red Onion]] and pluck the newly sprouted [[Red Pikmin]]. Using Pikmin, gather all of the [[pellet]]s, [[pluck]] all of the Pikmin, and push the [[cardboard box]]. Continue collecting all the pellets on the stump and finish the day by collecting the [[Main Engine]].
 
Once [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Yellow Pikmin]] have been discovered, the final part in this area can be collected. Start by taking some Blue and Yellow Pikmin into the area where the Main Engine was located, and collect at least 3 [[Bomb rock|bomb-rocks]] from inside the box. Head up the slope to the stump and, using the bomb-rocks, break the [[Reinforced wall|white stone wall]]. Be careful on the stump as the [[Mamuta]] or [[Goolix]] can spawn depending on what day you are on. Upon entering the pond, head to the farthest left [[Pearly Clamclamp]] and use Blue Pikmin to free the [[Positron Generator]]. Pikmin must be thrown and whistled in bursts to avoid them being eaten by the Clam. Break the [[Bramble gate|white bramble gate]] and retrieve the part to complete the area.
 
== In Challenge Mode ==
[[File:P1 Challenge Mode Impact Site Beach.jpg|thumb|250px|The beach section of the area in Challenge Mode.]]
 
The Impact Site is the simplest and shortest [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]] stage, giving the player 10 minutes and 48 seconds to grow up to 278 Pikmin. The area is filled with [[pellet]]s of all types, and the only enemies are a [[Breadbug]] near the Onions and a harmless [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]].

== Trivia ==
*A [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]] enters Olimar's base during the end of day [[cutscene]], even though there are no Spotty Bulborbs present in the area during the day.
*In the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' version, the [[Bramble gate|white bramble gate]] leading to the beach with the Clamclamps can be broken down on day 1 by throwing Pikmin onto the ledge as far as possible and getting onto the stump.
*The Impact Site is one of two areas with an optional boss, the other being [[The Distant Spring]].
*[[Music in Pikmin#The Impact Site|The Impact Site's music]] has inspired multiple tracks in later games:
