[[Image:Distantspringlz.png|thumb|right|The landing site in the Distant Spring.]]'''The Distant Spring''' is the fourth area Olimar discovered on [[Pikmin (game)|his first visit]] to the [[Planet of the Pikmin|Pikmin Planet]]. The terrain is mostly aquatic with unique creatures spread throughout. This land also is home to most of [[Captain Olimar]]'s missing ship parts, of which there are ten. The [[Perplexing Pool]] from ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' bears resemblance to the Distant Spring. They feature similar maps, similar looking hedges, and the same tree stumps. However, several gates are gone in the Perplexing Pool.

'''The Distant Spring''' ({{j|大水源|Dai suigen|Big Spring}}) is the fourth [[area]] in {{p1}}. It is set in a huge wetland, with sandy and grassy terrain, many lakes and islands, and several hollow tree stumps. It contains 10 [[ship part]]s and is unlocked by collecting 12 ship parts in the previous areas. The [[Enemy|enemies]] in this area are challenging and are often found in [[water]], with several [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, [[Water Dumple]]s, and [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s. This area was re-used in {{p2}} as the [[Perplexing Pool]].


{{listen|filename=The Distant Spring.ogg|title=Distant Spring Music}}
The Distant Spring tends to become slightly more dangerous as days pass; for instance, [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s will begin appearing after the fifteenth day, and more [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s and [[Puffy Blowhog]]s will also slowly appear. Inexperienced players may wish to complete this area before this point.


==General Layout==
An optional boss, the [[Smoky Progg]], can be fought if this area is visited before the sixteenth day. While one of the most dangerous enemies in the game, defeating it will grant a pearl that can be turned into 100 Pikmin at an Onion, the most out of any enemy.
[[File:DS_texture.png|thumb|100px|The radar pattern for The Distant Spring.]]The Distant Spring is the largest area in the first ''Pikmin'' game. Water covers a great portion of the area. In the center lies the landing site, along with several hollow tree stumps. To the North is a small pond where the [[Number 2 Ionium Jet]] and the [[Chronos Reactor]] can be found. To the East, a wall maze with the [[UV Lamp]] can be found, blocked by a small path full with [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, [[Puffy Blowhog]]s, and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. To the West are the places with the [[Gluon Drive]], [[Zirconium Rotor]], and [[Pilot's Seat]], which are located in large tree stumps. Finally, to the South lies a small river with some islands where the [[Smoky Progg]] (before day 15) and the [[Interstellar Radio]] (inside a [[Puffy Blowhog]]) can be found. There are several [[Water Dumple]]s in this area.


[[Bomb Rock]]s[[File:GPIE01-16.png|thumb|One of the skulls found in the Distant Spring, along with what appears to be a spinal cord.]] in this area are found in giant skulls. One of them is inside a hollow tree stump guarded by a Spotty Bulbear near the landing site, and another one in the beach where the [[Massage Machine]] is found. There is another skull near the pool with [[Wogpole]]s to the West.

The Distant Spring is the largest area in the first [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' game]]. Water covers a great portion of the area. In the center lies the landing site, along with several hollow tree stumps. To the north is a small pond where the [[Number 2 Ionium Jet|#2 Ionium Jet]] and the [[Chronos Reactor]] can be found. To the east, there is a wall maze with the [[UV Lamp]], blocked by a small path filled with [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, [[Puffy Blowhog]]s, and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. To the west are the areas with the [[Gluon Drive]], [[Zirconium Rotor]], and [[Pilot's Seat]], which are located in large tree stumps. Finally, to the south lies a small river with some islands where the [[Smoky Progg]] (before [[day]] 15) and the [[Interstellar Radio]] (inside a [[Puffy Blowhog]]) can be found. There are several [[Water Dumple]]s in this area.


In the main story, the area is laid out with [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, [[Yellow Wollywog]]s, and [[Water Dumple]]s. After day 4, two [[Swooping Snitchbug|Swooping Snitchbugs survey]] the area, looking for Pikmin to capture and throw into the ground.
In this area, [[bomb-rock]]s in groups of 5 (though sometimes 4 appear instead) are found in giant skulls; the creatures they once belonged to being as of yet unknown. One of them is inside a hollow tree stump guarded by a Spotty Bulbear near the landing site, and another one in the beach where the [[Massage Machine]] is found. There is another skull near the pool with [[Wogpole]]s to the West.


In Challenge Mode, [[Red Bulborb]]s are found all over the land area, instead of [[Spotty Bulbears]]. [[Pearly Clamclamps]] are also found in different locations, and two [[Puffstool]]s walk around in different areas.

==Key sections==

{{game help|p}}
*[[Fiery Blowhog]]
=== Landing site ===
*[[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]
This section is normally clear of any creatures in the area unless the Smoky Progg is out and about or the nearby [[Puffy Blowhog]] involves itself in the undertakings of Captain Olimar and his Pikmin. Shearwigs close to the landing site also prove to be a nuisance but they are easily disposed of.
*[[Red Bulborb]]
 
*[[Puffstool]]
=== Smoky Progg's islands ===
*[[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]
Directly south of the landing site is a cluster of small islands that surround the egg of the [[Smoky Progg]], a secret boss that can only be fought on or before day fifteen.
 
=== The Northeast ===
Practically the entire northeastern portion of The Distant Spring's central landmass is heavily congested by the area's native wildlife, primarily [[Spotty Bulbear]]s and [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s. Extreme caution should be exercised whilst exploring this hostile territory, for one wrong move can result in heavy Pikmin casualties.
 
==Objects==
===Ship parts===
*{{icon|Repair-type Bolt|y}}: Immediately beside the landing site is a ledge. Guiding Pikmin along this ledge leads to the part.
*{{icon|Massage Machine|y}}: Near the landing site, going straight from the Dolphin, is a bridge leading to a beach containing a [[Spotty Bulbear]], two skulls containing ten [[bomb rock]]s total, a blue [[Candypop Bud]] and this part.
*{{icon|Interstellar Radio|y}}: Going into the vast water, past the [[Smoky Progg]] egg are several [[Water Dumple]]s and a [[Puffy Blowhog]]. The Blowhog has the part.
*{{icon|Gluon Drive|y}}: Going past the two Bulbears and two Blowhogs behind the Dolphin leads to a river that has bridges on both sides. The part on the other side of these bridges.
*{{icon|UV Lamp|y}}: Beyond the reinforced [[gate]] near the landing site is a complex structure, found to the right. The part is at the end of the series of ledges that form a path.
*{{icon|Zirconium Rotor|y}}: Beyond the Gluon Drive is a gate guarded by two [[Yellow Wollywog]]s. Destroying this gate allows access to this part.
*{{icon|Pilot's Seat|y}}: There are three tree trunks opposite the Zirconium Rotor. This part is located inside one of the trunks.
*{{icon|Bowsprit|y}}: Near the landing site are a series of large tree trunks that can only be accessed from the opposite side. Inside the one nearest the landing site is an [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] that has the part.
*{{icon|Chronos Reactor|y}}: Traveling in a straight line from the reinforced wall beside the landing site leads to this part, atop a tall ledge. Both a blue and yellow [[Candypop Bud]] are located nearby.
*{{icon|Number 2 Ionium Jet|y|n=#2 Ionium Jet}}: Directly beside the Chronos Reactor is this part, sitting atop a stone structure.

[[File:Pikmin challenge.png|thumb|250px|Fighting a [[Puffstool]] in Challenge Mode.]]
The Distant Spring is the hardest stage in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], giving the player 18 minutes and 54 seconds to reach a maximum score of 752 Pikmin. The maximum score is extremely difficult to reach, due to the large number of dangerous [[Enemy|enemies]] compared to the other Challenge Mode stages, and the fact that most enemies drop randomly-colored [[pellet]]s which have to be carried to the right [[Onion]] to get the most Pikmin. The maximum score has never been reached by a human in the GameCube and Wii versions, and has only been done as a [[tool-assisted superplay]].{{cite youtube|_p1wH5CkmkM|of a tool-assisted superplay of The Distant Spring in Challenge Mode in which 752 points are reached}} Due to the much lower frequency of the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] in the [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]] making enemies much less threatening, the challenge is significantly more feasible and has been successfully been done by a human.{{cite youtube|R_8yqJhVTI4|of the first The Distant Spring Challenge Mode attempt by a human to reach 752 points}}

==Trivia==
*[[Image:Pikmin1f.jpg|thumb|right|120px|The Pikmin encounter [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s and a [[Red Bulborb]] in the [[Enemy reel]].]]The Enemy Reel shows the Distant Spring having different enemies, ship parts, and being more plain, without the hollow tree stumps. This is most likely beta.
*The [[enemy reel]] shows The Distant Spring having different enemies, ship parts, and being more plain, without the hollow tree stumps. This is most likely a [[Pikmin prerelease information|prototype version]] leftover.
*The skulls found in the Distant Spring appear to be the skulls of Spotty Bulbears.
*In the [[Formidable Oak]], the area where the [[Plasm Wraith]] is fought in has a pattern on the floor similar to the pattern of the ground where the [[Smoky Progg]]'s egg is found.
*The [[Music in Pikmin 4#Serene Shores (Olimar)|theme]] of the [[Serene Shores]] in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] is partially based on [[Music in Pikmin#The Distant Spring|that]] of The Distant Spring.
