Editing Blossoming Arcadia

The '''Blossoming Arcadia''' ({{j|花ふぶきの楽園|Hanafubuki no Rakuen|Paradise of Falling Flower Petals}}) is the second main [[area]] in {{p4}}. It is set in a kindergarten playground, with a slide visible in the background. This area has {{sparklium|p4|4,878}} worth of treasure, of which {{sparklium|p4|1,580}} is above ground. This area has 60 treasures, there are 20 surface treasures and 40 cave treasures, there are 6 regular [[castaway]]s and 3 [[leafling]] castaways, 3 [[Onion]]s: a [[Yellow Onion]] and two [[Flarlic]]s, and there are 7 caves (4 regular, 2 [[Dandori Challenge]]s and 1 [[Dandori Battle]]).

After collecting {{sparklium|p4|1,500}}, the [[S.S. Shepherd]] is repaired slightly and its radar's range is increased. The radar now picks up SOS signals in this new area. The [[rookie Rescue Officer]] and [[Oatchi]] set off to this new area in search of [[Captain Olimar]], the remaining [[Rescue Corps]] members, other civilian [[castaway]]s and treasure. They may also be in search of the [[Leafling Olimar|red leafling]] and other [[leafling]]s if encountered in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]]. The duo encounter [[Rock Pikmin]] for the first time (in the [[Kingdom of Beasts]]), and possibly [[Blue Pikmin]] if their [[Blue Onion|Onion]] hasn't been retrieved in the Sun-Speckled Terrace. They manage to collect a couple of [[Flarlic]]s and another [[Yellow Onion]], granting them 20 additional [[Yellow Pikmin]]. They also manage to rescue a few castaways and leaflings, and enough treasures to upgrade the S.S. Shepherd once more, unlocking the next area — the [[Serene Shores]].

The Blossoming Arcadia is an open, spring-themed playground. There are multiple toy-like structures in this area, such as wooden blocks, upturned buckets and toy [[treasure]]s, such as the [[Shake-a-Smile]] and [[Unfloatable Boat]]. Multiple cherry blossom trees can be found around in this area, with a large one located toward the south; cherry petals can be found on the ground near these trees. A shallow body of water is located in the center of the area, with multiple water-related enemies found nearby, such as the [[Yellow Wollyhop]], [[Skitter Leaf|Skitter Leaves]] and [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s. This area is also full of multiple different types of flowers, along with different types of [[Spectralids]] and a [[Mamuta]].

 

The entrance can be found at the top of the raised section east of the Misshapen Pond base (on the way to the [[Kingdom of Beasts]]), with the only other obstacle being the nearby [[Waddlequaff]]. Access to this section requires building and climbing a [[climbing wall]].

The entrance is located near the south of the area, accessed from across the buildable [[clay bridge]] close the Sunwashed Plateau base. Next to the [[potted plant]], it can be found behind a [[reinforced wall]], requiring 3 [[Bomb Rock]]s to destroy it. These can be bought from [[Russ]], though Bomb Rocks can also be found in multiple [[dirt-mound]]s around the area.

A [[Dandori Battle]] cave can be found near the first base, the Fragrant Ravine. It is found on a raised section a bit north of the base, on top of a large box. There are no obstacles obstructing its entrance, and it can be reached by following the path west of the base. The player can find the same leafy individual that was in [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], with another [[castaway]].
