Wistful Wild

An overview of the area.

Wistful Wild is the area that can be accessed in Pikmin 2; it is made available once the Hocotate Freight company's debt has been fully repaid. This level is a combination of The Impact Site and The Final Trial from Pikmin. It contains three caves and five treasures above the surface which total 3205 Pokos, or 13295 including treasures found in caverns (13285 in the PAL version of the game). It is also a representation of Autumn. Contents of the region include two large lakes, one of which can be drained and the other a bridge built over; a clearing with three randomly-colored Burgeoning Spiderworts; and decorating it are rusted metal structures, tree stumps and Foxtails, and a half-visible yield sign where the onions land.

Every 30 days from day 31, one can see some weird insects in this location, appearing as swarms of very small orange bugs. They release poison occasionally if attacked, and have an extremely small amount of health; each one drops a blob of nectar or spray when killed. They are found in two locations: outside Dream Den, and by Hole of Heroes.

It is possible for a captain to get up onto the wall borders of the map via several enemies, including the Decorated Cannon Beetle and Watery Blowhog. This video shows how much of the area can be explored there.
