Full map of the Distant Tundra.

Distant Tundra is an area in Pikmin 3, and the third area in the game. The overall layout of the level is a flat, snowy environment with small areas containing exposed grass and dirt. The level is divided by a small river that cuts through the middle. The landing site is near the river. There are 16 fruits that can be found here.

Layout

As its name suggests, it is a frigid area with a plentiful amount of snow. The landing site is rougly in the middle of the whole map, near a river that runs through area. There are many caves scattered about, and in the northmost one, the Yellow Onion is found.

The first time the player unlocks the area, The Drake flies too low to the ground and hits a rock, accidentally ejecting Brittany into the cave below. In this cave, she discovers the Yellow Pikmin and their Onion. Upon using the new Yellow Pikmin to open an entry to the outside, she discovers that she and Alph are separated by a river, which must be overcome by two bridges, which each captain must help eachother build. Until the player reunites the two captains, Brittany will not be able to return to Drake at the end of the day and will go unfed until reunited.

This is also the area where the player fights the Vehemoth Phosbat, the game's second boss, and unlocks Charlie as a playable character.
