They have a landing site where the [[Onion]](s) and [[Ship (disambiguation)|ship]] land at the beginning of the day, and these are usually connected in several directions to spaces nearby. Most spaces center around a certain enemy or theme. There are often [[obstacle]]s between spaces that may increase the time it takes to get there or to restrict access to it until a certain [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]] is unlocked. There are also some spaces that function more as corridors between other spaces. There are often large loops in areas that provide multiple ways to access a part of the area.
