Ice-Cross Course is the fifth Dandori Challenge stage in Pikmin 4. It is set in an environment resembling a toybox but is simultaneously themed around ice, with several pools of water which can be frozen with Ice Pikmin. Blue Pikmin also appear in the stage, and there are several underwater treasures which must be collected with them.
How to reach[edit]
Overview[edit]
This challenge is set in a toy chest, with two main bodies of water. While it is important to freeze these bodies of water to carry treasures over them, there are also treasures inside them that must be fished out with Blue Pikmin while the water is unfrozen.
Layout[edit]
Upon entering, the S.S. Beagle is on a platform surrounded by water. One body of water is being frozen by 5 Ice Pikmin, which makes the underwater Planetary Rubber Cutie inaccessible unless the Ice Pikmin are whistled out from the water. Beside the Ice Pikmin is a platform with 2 nectar eggs and a slope leading to a higher platform containing a Waddlepus, 40 Gold Nuggets and 5 buried Blue Pikmin. There is another slope from the platform leading to one of the Universal Rubber Cuties; next to it is an Unfloatable Boat and Fishy Bed submerged in the water and 10 Blue Pikmin fighting a Downy Snagret.
Going up another slope, there are 3 Octopluses. Going south, a Sunsquish and an Ice Candypop Bud can be found. Next to the Candypop Bud lies another Universal Rubber Cutie and a mud pool. Just west of the Sunsquish is two nectar eggs and another Unfloatable Boat submerged in water.
On the ledge above, there are 2 Mystery Squish Fishes and on the ground below lies 30 Gold Nuggets and 10 Blue Pikmin fighting one Downy Snagret. Behind the Downy Snagret is a Doggy Bed and a Birdy Bed on the ledge above it. On the ledge beside the Birdy Bed, there are 2 ice Candypop Buds and a clipboard which requires 20 Pikmin to weigh down. Lastly, on the side of the ledge there are 2 Downy Snagrets and one is fighting 5 Blue Pikmin.
