A complete map of the area, including ship parts and enemies.

The Impact Site is where Captain Olimar first lands after his ship crashes on the Pikmin planet in Pikmin 1, and so the first day is spent there. The area is near the edge of the vast forest on the area select map, not far from the Forest of Hope. The Impact Site is the location of the discovery of the Red Onion with its associated Red Pikmin. This area and the Final Trial make up the Wistful Wild in Pikmin 2.

General Layout

The entrance to the watery portion of The Impact Site.
The watery area of the level.

The level consists of a small pool of water, not accessible on day 1, a number of tree stumps, and a few relatively small grassy clearings. It contains only two ship parts, one of which is collected on the first day in the tutorial-like beginning of the game. After day 1, the amount of Pellet Posies increases, and some enemies appear: the large amounts of pellets from then on make this area arguably the best place for boosting Pikmin population. It is also the only location of the Goolix, one of the game's hidden bosses, which can only be found on odd-numbered days after day 8, on the large tree stump near the water.

The bomb-rocks in this area are found inside the box that the Pikmin have to push on the first day, in order to get the Main Engine

This area contains three 20 valued pellet, one for each pikmin collor. The red pellet is located behind of the stone gate, next to the lake. The yellow one is located in a tree stump that only yellow pikmin can reach, in the arena where the Goolix is fought. The blue one is in an island next to the Pearly Clamclamp that is holding the Positron Generator, and it can only be reached by blues. Besides those, there are several pellet posies and three 10 valued pellets, once again, one for each collor, and all of them near the landing site. To get them, you must order your pikmin to build the stick that leads them there, and break a geyser hidden in the tall grass so you can get up there. Also, each of the Pearly Clamclamps that you defeat(except one), will give you a pearl, that is worth 50 pikmin each. To get all of this pellets, the pearls AND the positron generator, your time will be short. So, if you don´t mind not fighting the opcional boss, you should go there on an even numbered day, as the Mamuta can be ignored, it only attacks after you attack, and does not kill pikmin. If you have extra time, you can always go defeating it afterwards, but keep in mind that plucking the planted pikmins can consume a long time, so if you´re not careful you may leave several pikmin behind.

Trivia

  • Strangely, Bulborbs are seen during the end of day cutscene, while no Bulborbs are present in the actual area.
