'''The Final Trial''' is the last area to be accessed in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. It is across a small body of water, (most likely a lake), on the area select map from the other areas, and has radically different terrain. It only has one part and is practically enemy free, except for the diabolical [[Emperor Bulblax]], which possesses the final ship part, the [[Secret Safe]].

'''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 woodland area filled with flowers, 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]]. As the final area, it is unlocked by collecting 29 [[ship part]]s, which total to all of the parts located in the game's other areas. At the end of the area, the game's final boss, the [[Emperor Bulblax]], resides, holding the [[Secret Safe]], the final ship part. The Final Trial was reused alongside The Impact Site in {{p2}} to make up the [[Wistful Wild]].


It should be noted that this area, in a way, tests the player's knowledge on the Pikmin. From the landing site, the area 'splits' into 3 paths. The left path centers on [[Red Pikmin]], due to the [[Obstacles|fire geysers]]. The center path contains water which only [[Blue Pikmin]] can traverse through. And the path on the right contains [[Bomb Rock|bomb rocks]], which only [[Yellow Pikmin]] can hold.
==General layout==
{{location map | width = 350 | height = 635 | image = FT texture.png | bg = #111 | caption = Map of all ship parts and the location of the ship in The Final Trial. | icons =

{{map icon | Secret Safe | 179 | 462}}
}}


Despite this, the level can be completed purely with [[Yellow Pikmin]]. This is done by making the [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] "swim" to the [[Obstacles|bridge]], and by throwing them over the slanted part of the metal wall between the second bridge and the box, then making the Pikmin run over to the before mentioned box. Since Pikmin cannot be produced here unless the [[Emperor Bulblax]] is killed, 3 [[Candypop Bud]]s are present at the landing site next to the Yellow Onion. Each one can change 50 Pikmin, and then wilt.
In the south of the area lies the landing site, along with one each of three different varieties 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]].


{{listen|filename=Final Trial.ogg|title=Excerpt from the level's music}}
The arena where the Emperor Bulblax is fought and a wall that leads to three pipes with 15 bomb-rocks each lies at the northernmost part of the area. On the far west of the pool is a ledge with no hazards, meaning Olimar can throw additional Pikmin onto the ledge, then run down to collect them when he reaches the end of the main path.
 
==General Layout==
[[Image:Pikminlast1.jpg|thumb|right|The Final Trial in Challenge Mode.]]
To the south lies the landing site, along with a [[Candypop Bud]] of each type of Pikmin. In the center lies a small pool of water. To the left of it, a narrow path with fire geysers. To the right are a group of small islands with [[Bomb Rock]]s. In the middle of the pool are two bridges and a normal [[Obstacles|stone gate]]. To the north is a [[cardboard box]].
 
The arena where Emperor Bulblax is fought and a wall that leads to three pipes with several Bomb Rocks lies at the top-most part of the area. On the far right of the pool is a ledge with no hazards, meaning Olimar can throw additional Pikmin onto the ledge, then run down to collect them when he reaches the end of the main path.
 
 
[[File:Final_trial_Onions.png|thumb|left|All of the onions in the final trial.]]Bomb Rocks in this area are found in pipes. One is on a high place to the right of the starting point. There are three other pipes in the cliffs surrounding the arena where Emperor Bulblax is fought.
 
In Challenge Mode, a [[Yellow Wollywog]] is found in the pool, and a [[Beady Long Legs]] attacks Olimar after he enters the arena. [[Burrowing Snagret]]s are found in the cliffs around it. Smaller enemies are found around Olimar's base, such as a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]], [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s and [[Sheargrub]]s. Also, unlike in the other maps, 100 Pikmin are already present on the map, buried in various locations.

The Final Trial is unique among [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]] stages in that the player starts with 100 Pikmin, enough to reach the [[Pikmin limit]]. However, most of these Pikmin are scattered around the area in small groups of sprouts, meaning to expand their [[squad]] size, the player doesn't have to collect the objects near the landing site, they have to explore the area for the other sprouts, while collecting things at the same time to increase the total number of Pikmin. The boss arena contains a [[Beady Long Legs]], and there is also a [[Burrowing Snagret]] nearby. The maximum number of Pikmin obtainable is 299 and the time limit is 13 minutes and 30 seconds, the same as a normal [[day]].

The Final Trial (最後の試練?, lit.: "Final Ordeal") is the fifth and final area in Pikmin. It is set in a woodland area filled with flowers, 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. As the final area, it is unlocked by collecting 29 ship parts, which total to all of the parts located in the game's other areas. At the end of the area, the game's final boss, the Emperor Bulblax, resides, holding the Secret Safe, the final ship part. The Final Trial was reused alongside The Impact Site in Pikmin 2 to make up the Wistful Wild.

In the south of the area lies the landing site, along with one each of three different varieties 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-rocks, 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-rocks, 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.

The arena where the Emperor Bulblax is fought and a wall that leads to three pipes with 15 bomb-rocks each lies at the northernmost part of the area. On the far west of the pool is a ledge with no hazards, meaning Olimar can throw additional Pikmin onto the ledge, then run down to collect them when he reaches the end of the main path.

In Challenge Mode, a Yellow Wollywog is found in the pool and a Beady Long Legs appears once he enters the arena. A Burrowing Snagret is found in the cliffs around it. Smaller enemies are found around Olimar's base, such as a Dwarf Red Bulborb, Dwarf Bulbears and Sheargrubs. Unlike in the other levels, 100 Pikmin are already present on the map, buried in various locations.
