Overview

Being the first Dandori Challenge that you encounter, the area is small and has the shape of a square. The environment is similar to a toybox, with most of it being made by wood pieces.

Layout

The player starts at the center of the level, along with the S.S. Beagle and 10 Red Pikmin. In front of them can be found a group of 5 more Red Pikmin fighting with a Dwarf Bulborb. Continuing to the left, they enter a small area containing a patch of grass with 5 Red Pikmins and the Condensed Sunshine that leads to a larger area; here can be found 2 Dwarf Bulborbs, one of which being fought by 5 Red Pikmin, a sleeping Bulborb that has swallowed the Cookie of Prosperity, a pile of 40 Gold Nuggets, 2 Eggs and a potted plant.

In the south part of the map, there's a Tusked Blowhog fighting 5 Red Pikmin near the Sweet Torrent, the Vanishing Cookie and an elevated group of 5 Red Pikmin.

Lastly, in the west part of the map and behind a dirt wall, there are 2 Dwarf Bulborbs and a buried Cushion Cake. Taking a stair brings to an area blocked off by 2 breakable pots with 5 Red Pikmin inside; here can be found the Searing Acidshock, a pile of 30 Gold Nuggets, an egg and a climbing rope. Alternatively, another stair on the opposite side of the area can be used to climb on top, but it requires Oatchi's jump. At the start of this stair there is an egg.

Guides

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Firstly, defeat the Dwarf Bulborb in front of the start to gather 5 Red Pikmin, then continue to the left and whistle another 5 Red Pikmin hiding in a patch of grass. Once arrived in the large area, defeat all of the Dwarf Bulborbs and begin removing the Potted plant. After that is done, you can gather 10 more Red Pikmin from the bottom of the map, kill the sleeping Bulborb and start transporting all of the objects in the north-east area to the S.S. Shepherd. If you want to, you can use the 2 Eggs to get Flower Pikmins.

After all objects are transported, put 5 Pikmins in the pile of 40 Gold Nuggets and begin destroying the Dirt wall. Kill the 2 Dwarf Bulborbs and dig up the Cushion Cake, then begin to transport everything in the south section.

Lastly, make your way to the top left corner by using a stair and destroy the 2 Breakable pots to get the last 5 Red Pikmin. Transport the Searing Acidshock, activate the climbing rope and put all of your remaining Pikmins in the pile of 30 Gold Nuggets.
