The first time this area is visited is on the [[day 1]] tutorial. To complete the tutorial, first rescue the [[Onion]], then use the 3 Pikmin you start with (plus the 1 Pikmin hidden at the back of the pot nearby) to carry the bridge [[fragment]]s next to the Onion. After the bridge is built, collect [[pellet]]s and defeat the [[Female Sheargrub]]s to grow 20 or 21 Pikmin, and use them to push the [[cardboard box]]. Go through the cave, and then day 1 will end.

Upon rescuing [[Charlie]] in the [[Distant Tundra]], a signal will appear on the [[Area selection menu|map screen]] to head to the Tropical Wilds. In this area, take your Pikmin out of the Onion, and walk up to the unfinished beige bridge. Throw a [[leader]] and some Pikmin across the gap. Use those Pikmin to carry the 8 fragments in front of you and destroy the [[dirt wall]] to the right. Once the dirt wall is destroyed, go past it and carry the 8 bridge fragments up there. Once the bridge is completed, get all 3 leaders to meet at the site of the second pile of fragments. Next to this plateau, there is a small circular island above the water, and past this island is a path forward. Throw 2 leaders and all your Pikmin onto this island. Switch to one of those leaders and throw the third leader and all the Pikmin across the gap to the other side. With the third leader, walk to the end of the path and turn left to pass through a loading zone.

Follow the sandy path to a large circular arena. There will be a buried flip phone in the middle. Throw some Pikmin at it to start the boss battle with the Sandbelching Meerslug. To defeat it, follow the strategies [[Sandbelching Meerslug#Strategy|here]]. Defeating it will make it drop the [[Folded Data Glutton]] and the [[Crimson Banquet]]. To carry these items back, a few obstacles must be dealt with. Walk back along the path that led to the boss, and once you're back in the main area, push down a [[paper bag]]. Walk down the new ramp and defeat the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] and destroy the [[dirt wall]]. It is also possible to get [[bomb rock]]s from the nearby [[dirt mound]] to destroy the [[reinforced wall]], which can save time when carrying. Upon collecting the Folded Data Glutton, the story segment of the Tropical Wilds is complete.
