'''Trial Run''' is the first [[Dandori Battle]] stage in {{p4}}. It is a small stage with few enemies and treasures, set in a toybox-like environment with wooden blocks and foam mats. In [[Story Mode]], the opponent is the [[Leafling#Leafling Olimar|Olimar leafling]]. As the first stage, it is unlocked automatically in Dandori Battle mode. It has a time limit of 4:00.

==How to reach==
{{see|Dandori Battle#Locations}}.
It will be either in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], [[Blossoming Arcadia]] or [[Serene Shores]] depending on which Dandori Battle is entered first.

==Layout==
Trial Run is a very simple stage, consisting of only one rectangular space with four alcoves: two acting as each player's respective base and another two behind [[dirt wall]]s housing piles of [[Gold Nugget]]s. There are also two small piles of sand that have one [[Portable Sunset]] each buried within them and two blocks that will have a [[Sunseed Berry]] on top of them. A [[Zest Bomb]] will be placed along the wall of each side that must be knocked down with the player's space dog.

There are only two types of enemies, [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, neither of which are difficult to fight with Red Pikmin.

==Strategy==
{{guide}}
Before doing anything else, 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 from 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, which can be accomplished by having 1 or more Pikmin carrying them. Your opponent moves slowly, 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's [[Buff]] skill as been upgraded to 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's hands quickly, since singular gold nuggets cannot be stolen like other treasures.

If you're struggling to keep up with your opponent, [[Moss]] should be easily weakened by a swarm of your Pikmin and knocked out for a large amount of time.
