The '''Sun-Speckled Terrace''' ({{j|ひだまりの庭|Hidamari no Niwa|Courtyard of Sunlight}}) is the first [[area]] in {{p4}} after the tutorial in the [[Rescue Command Post]]. It resembles a garden with many pots and bricks. [[Ice Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] can be discovered in this area. There are 7 [[Castaway|rescues]] to be made, 34 [[treasures]] (14 above ground), and 2 [[Onion]]s as well as 2 [[Flarlic]] bulbs. This area has {{sparklium|p4|2,920}} worth of treasure, of which {{sparklium|p4|1,140}} is above ground.

== Plot ==
This is the first area players land in hopes to find Captain Olimar, more [[Rescue Corps]] members, and more [[Sparklium]]. The player will also find more Pikmin types, such as [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Ice Pikmin]].

== Layout ==

The Sun-Speckled Terrace is the first area [[Captain Olimar]] explores in his [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale|Shipwreck Tale]].

=== Plot ===
Captain Olimar lands in the Sun-Speckled Terrace to find any missing parts for his ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]]. He manages to find seven of his missing pieces along with the discovery of Red and Yellow Pikmin. The Pikmin help him in the collection of his ship parts and fending off dangerous creatures.

=== Layout ===
The layout of the Sun-Speckled Terrace in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale is almost identical to that of the one in the main game. The major differences are the objects and enemies present, along with the caves entrances and the body of water, south of the Rugged Scaffold base, not being present. The upper section of the area, the place where the Distant Summit base was located, is inaccessible during Olimar's exploration in the area.

==== Bases ====
* Ancient Arches: unguarded.
* Rugged Scaffold: the default landing site.
* Meandering Slope: guarded by a [[Horned Cannon Beetle]].
