Arid Metropolis
The Arid Metropolis (砂の都?, lit.: "Capital of Sand") is the fourth stage of Pikmin 3's Bingo Battle. This stage takes place in an oval-shaped sandbox near a tree. It is possible to get Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Rock Pikmin, and Purple Pikmin in this stage. This and the Blooming Terrace are the only places where players can see an Onion ejecting Purple Pikmin seeds, thanks to a +5 Rare Pikmin item.
