The Final Trial: Difference between revisions

'''The Final Trial''' ({{j|最後の試練|Saigo no Shiren|Final Ordeal}}) is the fifth and final [[area]] in {{p1}}. It is set in a sandy forest and has a complex layout that encourages the use of all three Pikmin types. As its name suggests, it serves as a final test of the player's knowledge on the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. It is unlocked by collecting 29 [[ship part]]s, one less than the total number of parts. The final ship part, the [[Secret Safe]], is found within the [[Emperor Bulblax]], the final boss of the game, in this area. This area was reused in {{p2}} as part of the [[Wistful Wild]].

In the south of the area lies the landing site, along with three different types of Candypop Bud. (Since Pikmin cannot be produced here unless the [[boss]] is killed, these are the only way to increase the population of a Pikmin type (at the expense of another type).) To the north, the area "splits" into three paths. The left path focuses on [[Red Pikmin]], due to the [[fire geysers]]. The center path contains water which only [[Blue Pikmin]] can traverse through. And the path on the right contains [[bomb-rock]]s, which only [[Yellow Pikmin]] can hold. The central part of the area contains a small pool of water. To the west of it, there is a narrow path with fire geysers. To the east are a group of small islands with 8 [[bomb-rock]]s, although sometimes 9 appear instead. In the middle of the pool are two bridges and a normal stone [[gate]]. To the north is a [[cardboard box]].
