Leafy Showdown is the fourth Dandori Battle stage in Pikmin 4. It is a large irregularly-shaped arena with high ledges and a puddle of water in the center. In Story Mode, the opponent is the Olimar leafling, and it is the only Dandori Battle where Dingo can't be used to get help. In Dandori Battle mode is it unlocked by completing a match of Dandori Castle. It has a time limit of 7 minutes.

How to reach[edit]

First, the player must unlock the Hero's Hideaway by completing the three previous Dandori Battle caves: Trial Run, Battle in a Box, and Dandori Castle, and curing the three leaflings they save from each (the last of which is Bernard) by harvesting glow sap at night.

Once in the Hero's Hideaway, the cave's entrance can be found within a safe. To unlock it, you must find the three treasures that provide the safe's code: the Courage Emblem, the Power Emblem, and the Wisdom Emblem. The safe's code will be randomly generated on each playthrough.

Layout[edit]

The two bases in this symmetrical stage are in open sandy areas in the north and south of the stage. Between them in the center is a small lake where 2 treasures appear, guarded by a Hermit Crawmad in the middle. Northwest and southeast of the lake are small sandy plateaus where treasures spawn in the middle of the battle, either 4 Sunseed Berries or 1 Insect Condo. Between the lake and plateaus there are breakable pots that can be destroyed by Oatchi or Moss to provide a shortcut between the bases.

On the west and east sides of the stage there are open areas with nuggets, treasures, and pellets to collect, but enemies and water spouts make the area hazardous. These sections of the stage have open access from one base and are blocked from the other base by a crystal wall, which can be destroyed to allow quicker access to the objects there.

Notes[edit]

Corgwin's menu[edit]

Whoever gathers the most Gold Nuggets is the true Dandori master. But with Sneak Bombs, you won't know the true winner until the last second!

Dandori Battle menu[edit]

An exciting battle in wilderness oasis! Stock up on Gold Nuggets and watch your points pile in.

Trivia[edit]

  • In the music track for Leafy Showdown in Story Mode, melodies from both the Plasm Wraith and The Final Trial themes play over the course of the song. The former can be heard in the background very subtly, while the latter's is very noticeable and plays as the main melody of the song. In Dandori Battle mode, this arena instead uses the same music as Dandori Castle and Hot Sandy Duel, even if Olimar is chosen as the opponent.
  • The entrance to Leafy Showdown is inside the same safe where Olimar finds the Pilot's Seat in his Shipwreck Tale.
