The '''Tropical Wilds''' ({{j|始まりの森|Hajimari no Mori|Forest of Beginnings}}) is an [[area]] in {{p3}}. It is set in a tropical jungle near a beach, with sandy paths and several tree stumps. [[Red Pikmin]] are discovered in this area, and it is where [[Alph]] and the [[S.S. Drake]] first land. The [[Sandbelching Meerslug]] serves as the area's [[boss]]. The 18 [[fruit]]s in the area give a total of 26.5 cups of juice (13.25 on [[Difficulty|Ultra-Spicy difficulty]]).
'''Tropical Wilds''' ({{j|始まりの森|Hajimari no Mori|Forest of Beginnings}}) is the first area in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is the area where [[Alph]] lands on and discovers the [[Red Pikmin]]. As the name would imply, it is a tropical jungle near a beach, with the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]] being the [[boss]] of this area. All of the fruits in the area give a total of 25.5 cups of [[juice]].


==Plot==
==Plot==
After the scene in the prologue with [[Captain Charlie]], it is shown that Alph crashed in a small pond, the [[S.S. Drake]] flying unsteadily above him as he first regains consciousness. As Alph gets up to explore, he comes across some Red Pikmin trying to get what he hopes is [[fruit]] off of a tree branch but it is revealed to be their [[Onion]]. After getting the Onion down, Alph takes the Red Pikmin and sets them to work building a [[bridge]] to get over to where his [[KopPad]] landed. After this, Alph tracks the signal of the S.S. Drake to a location not far from where he crashed. Taking his Red Pikmin and raising their numbers a bit, Alph sets them to work pushing a [[Cardboard box|large box]] out of the path to reveal a [[data file]]. Alph installs a data file log into the KopPad before setting off again. He makes his way through a cavern, noting the size of the mushrooms and the [[dirt wall]] in the way, and on the other side discovers the S.S. Drake, which he is happy about. However, his companions, [[Brittany]] and Charlie, are nowhere to be found, so Alph resolves to find them the next [[day]] before hastily taking to the skies after the nocturnal predators begin to wake up.

Later, Alph, Brittany, and Charlie return here after Charlie shows them a [[data file]] from [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)|Olimar's log]] and subsequently acquire a strong signal emanating from the area, which the Koppaites believe could come from a [[Hocotatian]] transmitter. After landing, the three note that the signal is not far off, and they proceed to explore, collecting fruit as they go along. Using their wits and numbers, the Koppaites soon find a cliffside that leads to where the signal is emanating. When Alph, Brittany, and Charlie get to where the signal is, they find out that it was a [[Folded Data Glutton|flip phone]] emitting the signal all along, which they resolve to take back to the Drake so that they can find Olimar's signal easier. However, as they are about to [[dig]] it up, it sinks into the sand and the Sandbelching Meerslug bursts out of the ground. After fighting and defeating the third monstrous beast, the Koppaites are able to get what they name the [[Folded Data Glutton]] as well as a small watermelon they name the [[Crimson Banquet]]. After the Folded Data Glutton transmitter has been integrated with the Drake, it picks up a signal coming [[Twilight River|from the north]], and the three explorers resolve to explore this area the next day.

==Overview==
==Overview==
The Tropical Wilds is a fairly complex area. There are large bits of land, but also a few [[segment]]s, mostly strung together with corridors, tunnels, and caves. Only a few caves actually make up the destination segments, which is the opposite of the [[Garden of Hope]] and the [[Distant Tundra]]. The main motif of the area is that of a tropical jungle, with a lot of greenery, sand, and [[water]]. Water is in fact one of the most abundant aspects of the area, making this area home to quite a few aquatic and beach-related enemies. There are several [[bridge]]s needing to be built, and alternate paths needing to be taken in order to cross shores, due to all the water. While most of the segments lead to dead ends, the main [[segment]] of the area is quite open-ended, even if parts of it are closed off by water or walls. Some of these walls actually belong to platforms on higher terrain that can also be explored – this mostly consists of tree trunk tops.

==Segments==
==Key sections==
The main section of the area is an open-ended piece of land in a rough 8-shape, with the two halves split by a river. The landing site is at the southern half of this section. The following is a list of all [[segment]]s in the area:
The main section of the area is an open-ended piece of land in a rough 8-shape, with the two halves split by a river. The landing site is at the southern half of this section. On the following list, all sections of text except for the first two refer to a different sub-area from the main one, meaning that the game performs a transition when going to and from those parts.


;Main segment:
;Normal landing site:
The southern half is where the [[S.S. Drake]] lands during a normal exploration day. This half of the main area is mostly covered in water all around it, but there are some strips of land surrounding the perimeter of the area. These strips are also cut off by water, at parts. The actual landing site itself is in a circular base half enclosed by walls. From this part of the whole area, some tunnels and walls provide access to a multitude of different segments. One of the most noteworthy locations here is the waterfall to the east.

One of the most noteworthy locations here is the waterfall to the east.


The southern half of this segment is separated from the northern one by a river, although the two are connected by a swirling pathway on the east, next to the waterfall. A tunnel to the west of the landing site opens a path to a high ledge from which one can drop down to the northern half of the main area, however.
;Northern half:
The first half of the main part of the area is separated from the second by a river, although the two are connected by a swirling pathway on the east, next to the waterfall. A tunnel to the west of the landing site opens a path to a high ledge from which one can drop down to the northern half of the main area, however.


This northern half has a large protrusion in the middle, so the ground-level paths surround it. This protrusion can be accessed with nearby [[seesaw blocks]], and from it, there is access to a small cave with a [[Medusal Slurker]]. To the north is a beach, and to the west, two circular arenas where the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] is fought, separated by a short yet insurmountable wall.

;Alph's crash site:
;Alph's crash site:
This is where the first [[day]] takes place, on the far southeast of the area. To the south is a small pond, where Alph first awakes. From here on out, the outdoors terrain is all sandy. The first part of this segment is at a lower level than the second, and a [[bridge]] is needed to go forward. Beyond some more terrain is a small linear cave that leads into the main area. Near the pond, there's a ledge that leads to the main area right away, but to reach it, one leader must toss another; this corridor has the [[Metal Suit Z]] on it.

Line 37: Line 40:
This arena is on the southwest, and is accessible through a path near the landing site, but to reach it, it is necessary to climb up to the walls that surround the southern half of the main area. The arena lies beyond a long corridor, and is actually a large circular sandpit.

;Calcified Crushblat arena:
;Calcified Crushblat's arena:
On the lake of the southern half, there is an underwater pathway leading to this remote island, on the western wall. An outer half-ring of land circles the island and contains [[Candypop Bud]]s needed for the fight. On the island itself resides the [[Calcified Crushblat]].

===Basic guide===
First, take out the Pikmin. Next, head to the incomplete bridge and throw a leader and some Pikmin across. Collect the fragments, then break down the wall to the west. There should be more fragments, and a place where three leaders can be thrown across. Once the bridge is complete, have all three leaders and a good number of Pikmin, and throw the leaders across at the area near the second pile of fragments. Once there is a leader at the other side, go north and there should be a [[paper bag]]. Push it down, and head northwest. Be sure to have a good number of Pikmin, because the passageway leads to the boss battle. For strategies to beat the boss battle see [[Sandbelching Meerslug]]. After the boss is beaten, collect the [[Folded Data Glutton]], and there's the [[Crimson Banquet]] to collect, also. Once the Folded Data Glutton is collected, it's possible to go to the next area.

==Changes in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''==
Like most areas, Tropical Wilds has received some notable changes in {{p3d}}:
* The pathway surrounding the landing site plateau is mostly grassy with some sandy paths, instead of completely sandy.
* The vines around the S.S. Drake are higher.
* The path southeast of the landing site across the lake is made of dirt instead of sand, and is thinner on the plateau.
* The cave connected to the landing site has brighter lighting, but appears darker on the radar.
* The ground color in Alph's crash site is whiter.
* The texture of the base of the pond Alph first lands in is simpler.
* The [[Male Sheargrub]] on the stump in the lake has been removed.
* There are added screws in the ground in several places: 2 on the stump in the lake, 1 on each side of the light brown bridge near the landing site (that stop working once the bridge is completed), and 1 on the ledge near the light brown bridge.
* Some [[data files]] have been added, removed, or moved elsewhere.

===Basic guide===
The first time this area is visited is on the [[day 1]] tutorial. To complete the tutorial, first rescue the [[Onion]], then use the 3 Pikmin you start with (plus the 1 Pikmin hidden at the back of the pot nearby) to carry the bridge [[fragment]]s next to the Onion. After the bridge is built, collect [[pellet]]s and defeat the [[Female Sheargrub]]s to grow 20 or 21 Pikmin, and use them to push the [[cardboard box]]. Go through the cave, and then day 1 will end.
 
Upon rescuing [[Charlie]] in the [[Distant Tundra]], a signal will appear on the [[Area selection menu|map screen]] to head to the Tropical Wilds. In this area, take your Pikmin out of the Onion, and walk up to the unfinished beige bridge. Throw a [[leader]] and some Pikmin across the gap. Use those Pikmin to carry the 8 fragments in front of you and destroy the [[dirt wall]] to the right. Once the dirt wall is destroyed, go past it and carry the 8 bridge fragments up there. Once the bridge is completed, get all 3 leaders to meet at the site of the second pile of fragments. Next to this plateau, there is a small circular island above the water, and past this island is a path forward. Throw 2 leaders and all your Pikmin onto this island. Switch to one of those leaders and throw the third leader and all the Pikmin across the gap to the other side. With the third leader, walk to the end of the path and turn left to access the next section.
 
Follow the sandy path to a large circular arena. There will be a buried flip phone in the middle. Throw some Pikmin at it to start the boss battle with the Sandbelching Meerslug. To defeat it, follow the strategies [[Sandbelching Meerslug#Strategy|here]]. Defeating it will make it drop the [[Folded Data Glutton]] and the [[Crimson Banquet]]. To carry these items back, a few obstacles must be dealt with. Walk back along the path that led to the boss, and once you're back in the main area, push down a [[paper bag]]. Walk down the new ramp and defeat the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] and destroy the [[dirt wall]]. It is also possible to get [[bomb rock]]s from the nearby [[dirt mound]] to destroy the [[reinforced wall]], which can save time when carrying. Upon collecting the Folded Data Glutton, the story segment of the Tropical Wilds is complete.

On [[day 1]], the bridge building process can be sped up by not waiting for Pikmin to run back from the bridge to the fragment piles, and instead calling them and throwing them back (making sure to not call Pikmin who are currently carrying fragments). You can also push Pikmin with the leader to make them carry fragments slightly faster. When the bridge is done, the fastest way to grow 21 Pikmin is to first carry the 3 1-pellets close to the bridge and get the 4th Pikmin to start attacking the 5-pellet. When the 3 pellets are back to the Onion and you've plucked all the Pikmin, throw 1 on the remaining 1-pellet, throw 4 on the ground around the [[Female Sheargrub]]s to defeat them and carry them back to the Onion, and put the remaining 4 on the 5-pellet to carry it back.
 
When you land in this area after rescuing Charlie, take as many Pikmin as you can out of the Onion. Walk down the ledge towards the light brown [[bridge]] and get some Pikmin to destroy the nearby [[dirt wall]]. Throw a leader and about 20 Pikmin (preferably [[Rock Pikmin]]) across the unfinished bridge, and get 2 to lift the pile of fragments in front of you and the rest to destroy the dirt wall. As the wall is destroyed, get the leader closer to the base to throw more Pikmin across the gap, and the other leader to put them on the dirt wall to speed up the process. When the wall is destroyed, go up the hill, start carrying all the fragments, and defeat the [[Swooping Snitchbug]]. When the bridge is built, get all 3 leaders to the top of the hill. Throw 2 leaders and 10 Pikmin to the island stump and send the remaining leader and the rest of the Pikmin to the dirt wall next to the landing site. Get a leader on the island stump to throw the Pikmin and the remaining leader to the far side, and push down the [[paper bag]]. Get the leader near the landing site to defeat the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] and dig up the [[dirt mound]] to destroy the [[reinforced wall]] with [[bomb rock]]s, and then walk up the paper bag with the whole squad. Go to the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]] arena, and defeat the boss using a quick method, such as the one [[Sandbelching Meerslug#Strategy|here]]. Carry back the [[Folded Data Glutton]] to the landing site straight away, and don't bother carrying the boss itself or the [[Crimson Banquet]], as they are too slow to carry. If you need fruit, a [[Pocked Airhead]] is buried very close to the landing site.
