'''Trial Run''' is the first [[Dandori Battle]] cave in {{p4}}. In [[Story Mode]], it is found in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]].

It has a Dandori Level of one out of five. It is a small stage with few enemies and treasures, with [[Red Pikmin]] being the only type available.

== How to reach ==

Near the Meandering Slope, there is a walkway up a hill with a [[Bulborb]] sleeping next to an unbuilt bridge. Defeat the bulborb and [[Male Sheargrub|sheargurbs]] to make way for the pikmin to carry [[raw materials]] to build the bridge. Once completed, the cave entrance can be found to the left.

== Overview ==

{{stub|Document the threshold for each medal.}}

There is a time limit of 4:00. Medals are awarded based on how many points higher the player has over their opponent.

* Bronze:

* Silver: Win by at least 30 points.

* Gold: Win by at least 60 points.

* Platinum: Dominate by at least 100 points.

Trial Run has a very simple arena, consisting of only one square environment with four alcoves: two acting as each players respective base and another two behind [[Dirt Wall|dirt walls]] housing piles of [[Gold Nugget|gold nuggets]]. There are also two small piles of sand that have one [[Portable Sunset]] each buried within them and two blocks that can have a [[Sunseed Berry]] on top of them. Occasionally, a [[Zest Bomb]] will be placed along the wall of each side that must be shook down with the player's dog.

There are only two types of enemies, [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Bulborbs]] and [[Firey Blowhog|Firey Blowhogs]], both of which are not inconvenient for Red Pikmin.

== Strategy ==

Before anything, make sure to take down the nearby [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] so your pikmin numbers can grow higher and allow you to do more things.

Due to the lack of enemies and obstacles, you can focus most of your efforts on preventing your opponent on not getting any points directly. The confined area also allows you to quickly keep track of any treasure or corpses your opponent is collecting. Make sure that anything going to their onion is redirected to yours by stealing each object by having 1 or more pikmin carrying them. Your opponent moves slow, and will almost never attempt to steal items your pikmin are already carrying, so keeping them from scoring is nothing more than making sure nothing goes to their base.

When not doing that, be sure to use Oatchi to ram down the [[Zest Bomb]] on either side of the stage when possible. Nothing in the stage weighs more than 10, so if Oatchi as been upgraded to Buff level 3, he will be able to carry any object to the onion on his own, which helps keep you with the maximum pikmin possible to carry back more things. In regards to the two dirt walls, try to have only one or two pikmin working on it at a time instead of charging a whole group, as its very likely your opponent will break down the wall on their own while you're working anyway. From there, make sure to charge as many as possible onto the pile of gold to get it out of your opponent hands quickly, since singular gold nuggets cannot be stolen like other treasures.

If you're struggling to keep up with your opponent, [[Moss]] (the opponent dog that mirrors all upgrades of your own dog) should be easily weakened by a swarm of your pikmin and knocked out for a large amount of time.
