Bridge/Locations

These are the locations of all bridges, fragments, etc. in the Pikmin series.

Pikmin

Story mode

• The Forest of Hope: Two bridges must be built to create a path between some islands to obtain the Sagittarius.

• The Distant Spring: There is a bridge near the landing site that will lead across the water to a beach. Two other bridges near the Gluon Drive must be built into each other to form a single larger bridge to carry the part across. A final bridge must be built in order to navigate the Bowsprit out of the stump without passing the fire.
• The Final Trial: Two bridges must be built across the main part of the level to reach the final boss arena.

Challenge mode

Pikmin 2

Bridges only appear in overworld locations, and only in the game's story mode.

Pikmin 3

Story mode

• Tropical Wilds: A brown bridge in the southeast of the map is built as part of the day 1 tutorial.

• Garden of Hope: A brown bridge and a red bridge connect the landing site to the area near the cave where Rock Pikmin are discovered. A blue bridge is built on the way to the Armored Mawdad arena. A red bridge and blue bridge can be built near the entrance to the Quaggled Mireclops arena. Additionally, a china pot that functions similar to a bridge must be built out of fragments in order to reach the Quaggled Mireclops arena.
• Distant Tundra: Brittany must build a red bridge and Alph must build a blue bridge in the center of the map so that they can reunite after being separated when the area is first entered. Another red bridge can be built in the Vehemoth Phosbat arena to reach an electrode. There is also a hay bridge southwest of the landing site to allow easier access to the Citrus Lump and Zest Bomb.
• Twilight River: A cyan bridge must be built to discover Winged Pikmin; this is the longest bridge in the game. A red bridge must be built afterward to reach the Scornet Maestro arena.
• Formidable Oak: An optional red bridge is found in the first part of the cavern, while a blue bridge must be built to to get through the second part of the cavern.

Hay

Distant Tundra

• A pile of hay (30 pieces) is located near the two Bearded Amprats and Citrus Lump on a ledge that can only normally be accessed by Bouncy Mushroom. This pile of hay allows a shortcut back down to the landing site to be created.

Forgotten Cove

• In both the Collect Treasures and Battle Enemies variant, two piles of hay (20 pieces each) are spread about in short proximity to one side, near the Medusal Slurkers. Each are used in place of the sloped bridges in Pikmin's The Forest Navel.

Tropical Wilds Remix

• A pile of hay (30 pieces) is located in the first Baldy Long Legs arena. It is used to access the second.

Formidable Oak Remix

• A pre-made slope is found opposite Brittany's starting position, on the other side of the Orange Bulborbs.

Tundra

• The slope of hay that may be built in the Story Mode is pre-made on this map, and is the only means onto the ledge.

Team Monster Hunt

• 30 pieces of hay may be found on Olimar's half of the map, and if constructed, will provide a shortcut to an earlier area.

Big Fruit Carnival

• Two hay ramps may be constructed from piles of 30 pieces. One is necessary to allow escape from the starting area, while the other is necessary to allow return to it.
