'''shapetst''' is an unused [[area]] located in the [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']] game files. Its name most likely means that it was used for testing shapes during the game's development.


It is found under '''/dataDir/courses/test/shapetst.mod''', and can be replaced by The Impact Site in Challenge Mode, in the European [[Region|version]], by using the following Action Replay code:

==Geography==
:'''057F0850 0100D278'''
The [[S.S. Dolphin]] and [[Onions]] land in a circular water pool area; although it apparently isn't deep enough to cause [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to drown. In the middle of the area there are large hill-like structures that add to the evidence of the map being orginally used for testing shapes. There are also many lily pad-like platforms in the water. Many textures are unused, and the map has many openings where [[Captain Olimar]] can easily fall off into an endless abyss. Outside of the circular area where Olimar landed in, there is a path that leads to another part of the map where there are many tin cans and what appears to be the word "YAKU" on the ground. There are also what appear to be bottles of some sort that are transparent and have no collision at all. Instead of an actual background, there is a large wall that envelopes much of the starting area that has a generic forst texture on it.

==Overview==
There are two main sections to the map: a circular pond, and a square flat area. Many textures are unused, and the map has many openings where [[Captain Olimar]] can easily fall off into an endless [[Pit|abyss]].
 
The pond is textured with a regular water effect, but it acts as solid ground, not even causing splashes. In the middle of the area there are large hill-like structures that add to the evidence of the map being originally used for testing shapes. There are also many lily pads in the water, but these break the water effect beneath them.
 
There is a small path made of "YAKU" tiles connecting the two parts of the map, the island and the square section. The square section has many tin cans and the word "YAKU" in English tiled on the ground, and a small leafy shadow texture. There are also {{w|Ramune}} bottles that have no collision at all, akin to the one on [[The Forest Navel]], and each has a different texture and reflection effect. Instead of an actual background, there is a large wall that envelopes most of the pond area, with a generic forest texture on it.
 
"Yaku" is short for {{j|屋久島|Yakushima}}, which is the internal name of [[The Distant Spring]] (and the [[Perplexing Pool]]), meaning that this pond area may have been intended for The Distant Spring, or that the pond area is meant to test the style and mood for The Distant Spring.
