'''Tundra''' ({{j|雪原|Setsugen|Snowfield}}) is the fourth mission in [[Olimar's Assignment]], representing the fourth [[day]] of [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]]'s third trip to [[PNF-404]]. It takes place in the [[Distant Tundra]].

== Plot ==
===Olimar's Expedition Log: Tundra Survey===
{{transcript|[The scene shows Captain Olimar facing the camera, while on the section of the area that acts as the landing site during the main story mode.]

This is Olimar, captain of the S.S. Dolphin.

I’ve been to this planet twice before already. I never tire of hunting for treasure here!

Unfortunately, even my advanced space suit can’t quite keep out the cold. 

I’m not surprised Hocotate Freight cut costs when it came to insulation. Brrr!

It wouldn’t surprise me if everyone got the same standard-issue suit, no matter what kind of assignment they were on.

The company’s new venture went down in flames, and it’s dragged our yearly earnings down with it.

We don’t have the money for decent space suits now. This one isn’t even custom fitted.

[Olimar looks to his left to see Louie and some Pikmin running around two Bearded Amprats, on the elevated part of the map with the Citrus Lump. Louie gets shocked, and some of the Pikmin get eaten. The scene then returns to Olimar.]

Without any insulation, I wouldn’t want to put this suit up against any nasty shocks, either.

I really should’ve hung onto that Anti-Electrifier…|block=y}}

This cutscene is identical to the [[Secret File]] [[Secret File#Distant Tundra 2|Olimar's Expedition Log - In the Tundra -]], but with slightly different subtitles.

===Olimar's Expedition Log: Oak Survey===
After completing the mission, an additional video log taking place at the [[Formidable Oak]] plays:

{{transcript|[The scene shows Captain Olimar facing the camera while at the circular area west of the landing site in the main story mode.]

This is Olimar, captain of the S.S. Dolphin.

I’ve been to this planet twice before already. I never tire of hunting for treasure here!

Our survey has revealed a massive golden object in this region.

[Louie appears behind him, sneaking from right to left.]

It’ll be worth a fortune to the company!

My taciturn partner, Louie, didn’t want to come here for reasons he refused to explain.

[As Olimar is finishing the previous sentence, a growl and faint footsteps are heard. Louie looks around, frightened, and then dashes off in a hurry from where he came.]

Where did he get to, anyway? Well, it doesn’t matter.

[Olimar looks around as the stomping becomes louder.]

I’ll just get this treasure myself and then it’s back to Hocotate.

[The stomps intensify and another growl is heard.]

[Fade to a black screen. The following is from a third person perspective.]

That was the last anyone heard from Captain Olimar

Whatever became of Olimar and Louie? Perhaps a crew of intrepid Koppaites will find the answer during their adventure…

Olimar’s Assignment

The End.|block=y}}

This cutscene is identical to the [[Secret File]] [[Secret File#Formidable Oak 2|Olimar's Expedition Log - At the Oak -]], but with slightly different subtitles. The ending black screen was also added.

===Synopsis===
In relation to the [[Story Mode]], this day takes place before [[Brittany]] and [[Alph]] have landed in the [[Distant Tundra]] for the first time, as Olimar mentions he no longer has the [[Anti-Electrifier]], which he buried in the snow near [[Charlie]]'s crash site.

The ending cutscene takes place outside the [[Formidable Oak]], and alludes to Olimar's disappearance. After this, [[Louie]] assumedly traveled back to the [[Twilight River]] somehow and got captured by the [[Scornet Maestro]]. This means all of [[Olimar's Assignment]] must have took place, at the very least, before the [[Koppai]]tes discovered Twilight River. Given the Anti-Electrifier's placement, it's likely all days take place before the [[Distant Tundra]] is discovered.

== Description ==
This is the largest area of the Side Story. The bridge that connects the landing site in [[Story Mode]] to the place where Brittany finds [[Yellow Pikmin]] is not there and can't be constructed, so that leaves out that whole part of the area, as well as the path taken to go save Charlie. The shortcut is also unavailable here, but the entire rest of the area is accessible.


Olimar and Louie begin this mission in the same place that [[Koppai]]'s trio starts the day. We can immediately find some [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and Yellow Pikmin, some [[enemies]], and an [[Electric gate]], as well as some spots where Pikmin can [[dig]]. A bit further, [[Blue Pikmin]] can be found.

Swap back to the Red and Yellow group, defeat and harvest the Bearded Amprat as Yellow Pikmin and dig up the [[Citrus Lump]]. Swap back to the Blue group, to retrieve the 10 Blue Pikmin, obtain the [[Dusk Pustules]] and dig up the [[Sunseed Berry]] on the left. Swap back to the Red and Yellow group to retrieve the Golden Sunseed. Reunite both groups and all their Pikmin to defeat [[Baldy Long Legs]], collect the two [[Disguised Delicacy|Disguised Delicacies]], the two Golden Cupid's Grenade and the Gold Nuggets. Wait for the items to be delivered and the Platinum Medal should be yours.
