Editing Fortress of Festivity

'''Fortress of Festivity''' ({{j|冬の贈りもの|Fuyu no Okurimono|Winter Gifts}}) is a [[Mission Mode]] stage in {{p3}}. This stage is Christmas-themed, taking place on a table covered in various festive decorations, including a small Christmas tree with a spiraling ribbon attached to it, which the Pikmin can slide down. The stage is playable in the Collect Treasure! and Battle Enemies! modes. In the original ''Pikmin 3'', it was released in the 1.4.0 [[update]] for free, while the other four stages in the third row of the [[Mission Mode menu]] were made purchasable via the eShop. In {{p3d}}, it can be unlocked in each of the 2 modes by completing the first 10 stages in that mode.

Begin by having Alph throw Brittany and Charlie to the present boxes with the Red Pikmin sprouts on it. Have Alph begin plucking the 5 Blue Pikmin sprouts near the pile of nuggets. Switch over to Brittany once more, and throw Charlie onto the second present by the bamboo gate with the remaining Red Pikmin sprouts. After plucking, call Charlie back over and throw him onto the large present with 3 Purple Pikmin sprouts. Now, throw the 3 Purple Pikmin back to Brittany, and have Brittany throw 3 Red Pikmin back to Charlie. With Charlie, have the 3 Red Pikmin begin tearing down the dirt wall.

Switching back to Alph, use the 5 Blue Pikmin to begin collecting the Cupid's Grenades in the bowl of water. Brittany, with the remaining Red Pikmin and Purple Pikmin, can begin collecting the large fruit located in the starting area. After all the Pikmin are helping retrieve fruit, have Brittany travel over to the electric gate to meet Charlie. With Alph and the remaining Pikmin at base, clear out all nearby fruit, including the other 5 Cupid's Grenades submerged in water. Set a handful of Red Pikmin to start chipping away at the nuggets. After the starting area has been cleared out, Alph should travel to the electric gate as well with 3 Purple Pikmin and 4 others in tow.

With Brittany, regroup with Charlie and throw Charlie over the small present besides the electric gate, allowing him to access the Yellow Pikmin. Have the Yellow Pikmin begin working on the electric gate, and then ride the geyser up to pluck the White Pikmin. Set those White Pikmin to begin retrieving the nuggets atop the highest present. The 3 Red Pikmin should have taken down the dirt wall by now; with Brittany, have the 3 Red Pikmin carry back each of the Golden Grenades on the large central present. As soon as the electric gate is taken down, take both Alph and Brittany inside. Have Alph's 3 Purple Pikmin carry back each of the large fruit behind the gate. Bring the 5 Yellow Pikmin with you.

After riding the geyser up and joining Charlie again, have 4 other Pikmin take back the 4 Golden Grenades, then take the geyser up to the Bouncy Mushrooms and the Christmas tree. Upon reaching the cake, regroup with your squad and pluck the remaining Yellow Pikmin. With the 15 Yellow Pikmin, have 5 carry back each of the 5 Cupid's Grenades and have the other 10 start on the Dusk Pustules. The leaders should take the Bouncy Mushrooms to land on a present near the SPERO. With Alph, throw Brittany and Charlie up to pluck the Rock Pikmin. After plucking those, have Brittany throw Charlie to begin plucking the Winged Pikmin atop a present to the right of the bamboo gate. Immediately after getting the Rock Pikmin, take down the two crystallized geysers: one directly in base and one outside of it. After both geysers are taken out, have the 10 Rock Pikmin start on the pile of nuggets at the base of the cake. Then have Brittany make her way to the White Pikmin, which should be done with the pile of nuggets. Have those 5 White Pikmin work on the larger pile of nuggets below. Once the Winged Pikmin have completed the Dusk Pustules, have them carry back the large Seed Hive atop the present.

With Charlie's 10 Winged Pikmin, have him first start on the pile of nuggets. After that has been completed, walk down to the south of the large presents with the Dusk Pustules. Throw the Winged Pikmin at the top of the box; even though they will not land on top of it, they should begin working on collecting them. Afterwards, have Charlie pluck the 5 White Pikmin near the southernmost pile of nuggets, and have them begin working on those nuggets. Alph and the remaining Pikmin at base can begin a cleanup. The 3 Purple Pikmin and 5 Yellow Pikmin carrying the Cupid's Grenades should have returned to base. Throw the 5 Yellow Pikmin onto the Zest Bomb on top of the high present. Once the Winged Pikmin bring the Seed Hive back, have them open up the bamboo gate and begin retrieving the large fruit still left. If there are Yellow Pikmin working on the Dusk Pustules or the Rock Pikmin working on the nuggets, call them to help carry back the treasures. Do not forget the Insect Condo at the northernmost point. Put a few more Pikmin working on the pile of nuggets next to the Insect Condo.

After all the large fruits have been obtained, take all of your idle Pikmin, including the Winged Pikmin holding up the bamboo gate, up to the pizza box to fight the Bug-Eyed Crawmad. Defeat the Crawmad and carry back its spoils to ensure a platinum ranking. The most important objective on this stage is to quickly get access to the Rock Pikmin and Winged Pikmin, to open up the geysers and bamboo gates. As such, begin working on the electric gate as soon as possible, but do not neglect the other treasures close to base either. When fully optimized, the level can be defeated with ample time to spare.
