'''The Distant Spring''' ({{j|大水源|Dai suigen|Big Spring}}) is the fourth [[area]] in {{p1}}. It is set in a huge wetland, with sandy and grassy terrain, many lakes and islands, and several hollow tree stumps. It contains 10 [[ship part]]s and is unlocked by collecting 12 ship parts in the previous areas.

It is set in a huge wetland, with sandy and grassy terrain, many lakes and islands, and several hollow tree stumps. It contains 10 [[ship part]]s and is unlocked by collecting 12 ship parts in the previous areas. The [[Enemy|enemies]] in this area are challenging and are often found in [[water]], with several [[Spotty Bulbear]]s, [[Water Dumple]]s, and [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s. This area was re-used in {{p2}} as the [[Perplexing Pool]]. | ||
The Distant Spring tends to become slightly more dangerous as days pass; for instance, [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s will begin appearing after the fifteenth day, and more [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s and [[Puffy Blowhog]]s will also slowly appear. Inexperienced players may wish to complete this area before this point. | |||
An optional boss, the [[Smoky Progg]], can be fought if this area is visited before the sixteenth day. While one of the most dangerous enemies in the game, defeating it will grant a pearl that can be turned into 100 Pikmin at an Onion, the most out of any enemy. | |||

The Distant Spring is the hardest stage in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], giving the player 18 minutes and 54 seconds to reach a maximum score of 752 Pikmin. | The Distant Spring is the hardest stage in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], giving the player 18 minutes and 54 seconds to reach a maximum score of 752 Pikmin. The maximum score is extremely difficult to reach, due to the large number of dangerous [[Enemy|enemies]] compared to the other Challenge Mode stages, and the fact that most enemies drop randomly-colored [[pellet]]s which have to be carried to the right [[Onion]] to get the most Pikmin. The maximum score has never been reached by a human in the GameCube and Wii versions, and has only been done as a [[tool-assisted superplay]].{{cite youtube|_p1wH5CkmkM|of a tool-assisted superplay of The Distant Spring in Challenge Mode in which 752 points are reached}} Due to the much lower frequency of the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] in the [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]] making enemies much less threatening, the challenge is significantly more feasible and has been successfully been done by a human.{{cite youtube|R_8yqJhVTI4|of the first The Distant Spring Challenge Mode attempt by a human to reach 752 points}} | ||
