The story section in the Twilight River is the longest of all the story sections in the game, so make sure you have enough juice for several days before starting. Upon first landing in the area, take Pikmin out of the [[Onion]] and walk up the hill to the east to see the Winged Onion on the other side of the river. Rescuing this Onion is the first task of the area, but to do that, a light blue bridge must be built first. Walk downhill past the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s and take a ride on the lily pad. Get off on the other side of the river, and destroy the nearby [[crystal]] to release a pile of 20 bridge [[fragment]]s. To the right is an [[electric gate]]; destroying that will open an area with 2 [[Yellow Wollywog]]s (which should be defeated first), a pile of 30 bridge fragments, and a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]. It is recommended to start harvesting [[Ultra-spicy spray]] from this plant. Heading in the other direction from the original pile of fragments, you will arrive at a room with a [[Puffy Blowhog]]. Defeat it and turn right into a cave. Light up the room by throwing 20 Yellow Pikmin at the [[electrode]], then cross the [[Bloominous Stemple]]s to carry a set of 30 bridge fragments. Once all the fragments have been collected, return to the base, make sure there are less than the 100 Pikmin in the field, and cross the light blue bridge.

On the other side of the river, you will find the Winged Onion trapped in the web of an [[Arachnode]]. Throw some [[Rock Pikmin]] to rescue it, and pluck the [[Winged Pikmin]] the new Onion sends out. Begin to harvest Winged Pikmin from the nearby [[pellet]]s and [[Enemy|enemies]], some of which are under [[Flukeweed]]s. Once you have a substantial amount, throw 10 Winged Pikmin at the [[dam]] next to the Winged Onion site. This will lift up the dam, allowing lily pads to flow down the second river in the area. Ride the river downstream to enter the second half of the area.

In this half, the overall goal is to build a red bridge to access the boss of the area. There are 3 piles of fragments, and Winged Pikmin are necessary to access each one. To access the first pile, ride downstream to the third stop in the second part of the area. There will be a group of [[Scornet]]s. Defeat them and take Winged Pikmin across the small body of water behind them to carry a pile of 24 fragments. To access the second pile, destroy the [[dirt wall]] next to where the Scornets were, to access a room with 2 [[clipboard]]s. Ignore the first one, since it contains a group of Dwarf Orange Bulborbs, but lift the second one, as it contains a pile of 15 fragments. Make sure to defeat the nearby [[Arachnode]] to avoid Winged Pikmin getting blocked along the way. To access the third pile, get back on a lily pad, and ride until a [[Bouncy Mushroom]] is within reach of the cursor. Quickly throw a [[leader]], a group of Winged Pikmin, and preferably some Rock Pikmin onto it; they will bounce onto the land above. Switch to this leader, defeat the Arachnode, and send the Winged Pikmin onto the last pile of 18 fragments behind the web.

Walk to the newly completed red bridge, destroying the walls along the way. Walk up the tree stump to find the boss of the area, the Scornet Maestro. See [[Scornet Maestro#Strategy]] to see how to defeat it. The boss will drop a [[Hocotatian]] upon defeat, and carrying it to the [[S.S. Drake]] will unlock the next part of the story. It is recommended to push down the [[paper bag]]s at the 2 exits of the second part of the area to allow easy access to it in the future.
