'''Distant Tundra''' ({{j|迷いの雪原|Mayoi no Setsugen|Tundra of Bewilderment}}) is the third [[area]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. The overall layout of the level is a flat, snowy environment with small areas containing exposed grass and dirt. The level is divided by a small river that cuts through the middle. The landing site is near the river. [[Captain Charlie]] crash lands here, but is later rescued by [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]]. There are 16 [[fruit]]s that can be found here, with a total of 22 cups of juice (11 on [[Difficulty|Ultra-Spicy difficulty]]).
The '''Distant Tundra''' ({{j|迷いの雪原|Mayoi no Setsugen|Lost Snowfield}}) is an [[area]] in {{p3}}. It is set in a snowy region, with patches of exposed dirt, a river running through the middle, and several underground caves. [[Yellow Pikmin]] are discovered in this area, and it is where [[Captain Charlie]] first lands. The [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] serves as the [[boss]] of the area. The 16 [[fruit]]s in the area give a total of 22 cups of juice (11 on [[Difficulty|Ultra-Spicy difficulty]]).

After the crash in the prologue, the scene goes to [[Captain Charlie]], who landed on this area. The player takes control of him for a bit as he discovers [[Yellow Pikmin]], but this section of the game stops when he enters a cave and defeats some [[Phosbat]]s, as an unknown creature – later revealed to be the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] – ambushes him.
After the [[S.S. Drake]] crashes in the prologue, the focus goes to [[Captain Charlie]], who landed in this area. The player takes control of him for a while as he discovers [[Yellow Pikmin]], but this section of the game stops when he walks through a cave, as an unknown creature – later revealed to be the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] – ambushes him.


Later on in the story, when [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]] first reunite, and when they land on the Distant Tundra for the first time, the [[S.S. Drake]] flies too low to the ground and hits a rock, accidentally ejecting [[Brittany]] into the cave below. In this cave, she discovers the Yellow Pikmin and their [[Onion]]. Upon using the new Yellow Pikmin to open an entry to the outside, she discovers that she and [[Alph]] are separated by a river, which must be overcome by two bridges, which each leader must help each other build. Until the player reunites the two leaders, Brittany will not be able to return to the Drake at the end of the day and will go unfed until reunited.
Later on in the story, after [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]] reunite and collect the [[Data Glutton]], they head to the Distant Tundra for the first time. Unfortunately, the [[S.S. Drake]] flies too low to the ground and hits a rock, accidentally ejecting [[Brittany]] into the cave below. In this cave, she discovers the Yellow Pikmin and their [[Onion]]. Upon using the new Yellow Pikmin to open an entry to the outside, she discovers that she and [[Alph]] are separated by a river, which must be overcome by two bridges, which each leader must help each other build. Until the player reunites the two leaders, Brittany will not be able to return to the Drake at the end of the day and will go unfed until reunited.


Eventually, the two explorers make it to the area in which Charlie had crash landed. Any [[obstacle]]s that Charlie destroyed on the first day will not reappear. They make it into the cave in which he was captured, light it up, and the Vehemoth Phosbat retreats. They begin to fight the boss, and upon defeating it, rescue Charlie, unlocking him as a playable leader.

[[File:Are1.jpg|thumb|250px|An overview of part of the area.]]
[[File:P3 Distant Tundra Landing Screenshot.jpg|thumb|250px|An overview of part of the area.]]
The Distant Tundra is a large wintery landscape, with most of the terrain covered in snow and ice. Its structure is quite complex, mostly due to the assortment of walls, ramps, twists and turns in the terrain. Regardless, most parts are quite open. In addition, there is a large amount of water throughout the stage. Because of the cold climate, many enemies that cannot be found in other areas are found here, such as the Bearded Amprat or the Arctic Cannon Larva.

==Key sections==
==Segments==
The main portion of the area is quite big, and is split in two due to the river that crosses the middle. On the following list, all but the first two sections refer to a different sub-area, meaning that there is a transition when they are entered or left.
The main segment of the area is quite big, and is split in two due to the river that crosses the middle. The following is a list of all [[segment]]s in the area:


;Southern half:
;Main segment:
The southern half of the main area is where the landing site is. The site is circular with an exit to the south, and a eastern ramp leading to the river's shoreline. From the south exit, there is a perpendicular path that splits in two when going east: one end dips down and leads to the shore, the other has a bridge that leads to higher ground, where the [[Dodge Whistle]] can be reached with a nearby [[Bouncy Mushroom]].

The southern half of the main segment is where the landing site is. The site is circular with an exit to the south, and a eastern ramp leading to the river's shoreline. From the south exit, there is a perpendicular path that splits in two when going east: one end dips down and leads to the shore, the other has a bridge that leads to higher ground, where the [[Dodge Whistle]] can be reached with a nearby [[Bouncy Mushroom]].


On the aforementioned path split, when taking the dipping path, it's possible to go under the bridge on the other path, and enter a room with [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]es. This room is surrounded by high walls from other parts of the stage. To the east, there is a bit of terrain near the Dodge Whistle. [[Leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be thrown to the portion at the south of the room, which has a chain of Bouncy Mushrooms that in turn provide access to the western ledge. That ledge has a pathway that shrinks further down to the west until the [[Zest Bomb]] – the purpose is to make it harder to dodge the [[Arctic Cannon Larva]]'s snowballs.

;Northern half:
The center of the southern half of the area is a bit open, and leads to the river's shore on the west. This shore has a protrusion that points to a similar, smaller protrusion on the other side; this allows the leaders to swap Pikmin. From the center, there are two ways to reach the eastern portion: through a one-way slide in the middle or a curving long path to the north. This semi-open zone has a vase in the middle and a ledge to a slide that takes one back to the southern half of the area; a leader must be thrown by another to get here. A bit more to the east is a ledge with a [[Face Wrinkler]].

The northwestern corner of the main area consists of three high steps. The first is crossed with a [[geyser]], and the second can be overcome with another geyser or by taking the eastern path. Up at the top, there is an inlet of land at the north, with a tunnel blocked by an [[iron ball]] facing the south; one leader must throw another in order to get here. To the northwest of the topmost high step is a slide that goes all the way to the bottom.

To note is that the river cannot be crossed from one shore to the other right away, given that there are two underwater [[gate]]s in the river itself blocking access.

;Charlie's Crash Site:
;Charlie's Crash Site:
This section starts at a dead end, and is mostly linear, with slight zigzagging. Midway through, it splits into two, with the northern exit leading to the Spotty Bulbear cave, but blocked off by a [[crystal]], and the eastern path leading to the large wooden bridge.

;Large bridge:
;Large bridge:
This large, wooden bridge provides a path between Charlie's crash site and the cave section that leads into the Vehemoth Phosbat's den. The [[camera]] in this sub-area faces to the side, and the only movement possible is two-dimensional.

The main entrance is through the Yellow Pikmin cave, but it is possible to access this sub-area through the east end of the river, underwater, although a [[bamboo gate]] needs to be lifted. This arena only has two parts: one bit of solid terrain, and one lake; the boss walks back and forth between the two.

==Changes in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''==
Like most areas, Distant Tundra has received some notable changes in {{p3d}}:
* The ground texture underneath the [[Onion]] is shifted.
* Around the landing site, snow is removed in the shape of a path that leads from the Onion to the throwing point on the lake.
* Snow is added to the area with the [[Bearded Amprat]] west of the landing site.
* Snow is added to the corridor behind the electric gate south of the landing site.
* Snow is added around the base of the small ice slide east of the landing site.
* Snow is added to the plateau next to the paper bag southeast of the landing site.
* Snow thickness is increased in the corridor with the [[Joustmite]]s southeast of the landing site.
* Snow thickness is increased in the plateau with the Bearded Amprats south of the landing site.
* An icy trail connects the exit of the cave where the Yellow Onion is found to the throwing point on the lake.
* Snow is removed from the area near the exit of the Yellow Onion cave.
* Snow is moved around in the area with the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] west of the cave exit.
* Snow is removed or reduced in the area around the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] east of the cave exit.
* There are added screws in the ground in several places: 1 on each side of the throwing point on the lake, 1 in the Yellow Onion cave on a ledge, and 1 in the Vehemoth Phosbat room on a ledge.
* Some [[data files]] have been added, removed, or moved elsewhere.

===Speed completion===
===Speed completion===
In terms of speed completion, Distant Tundra is one of the toughest ones. You first have a choice of growing 25 or 20 [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Then, [[Brittany]] should rush the [[electric gate]]. Meanwhile, [[Alph]] should be putting maximum focus on getting the [[Dodge Whistle]]. Alph should then throw 3 [[Rock Pikmin]] and 25 [[Red Pikmin]] over to Brittany. She should then grab all the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. As Alph, use [[Go Here!]] back to where you found the Dodge Whistle. Brittany should climb up to where the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] is and kill it. Throw all of your Pikmin up the ledge. Then you should [[dodge]] roll on the slope and walk up. This is the hardest glitch in the game. Once succeeded, you should be up the ledge. Then grab your Pikmin and walk over to where the [[iron ball]] is but do not step down. Throw 20 [[Yellow Pikmin]] from the left side of the iron ball. If done correctly, the cave should open. Continue as normal until you get to the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. When you get there, go to the paper bag is and whistle Alph &ndash; walk through the loading zone, and Alph should warp. Fight the boss however you feel like.
This guide should help you complete the area's story section in 1 [[day]]. Start by growing all 25 [[Yellow Pikmin]], and then leave the cave. Then, get [[Brittany]] to defeat the [[Swooping Snitchbug]], put 10 Yellow Pikmin on the nearby [[electric gate]], and throw the rest to the other side. Get [[Alph]] to take lots of Rock Pikmin and Red Pikmin out of the Onion, and go to the throwing point via the [[tunnel]]. Throw at least 20 Pikmin to Brittany's side, then go back with the Yellow Pikmin, and start destroying the electric gate and the other tunnel near the landing site. Brittany should take the Red Pikmin and Rock Pikmin and go straight to the pile of fragments on the pot, carrying those after destroying the [[large crystal]] first. Meanwhile, Alph should destroy the [[crystal wall]] and collect the 20 fragments with [[Red Pikmin]] to avoid waiting for the fire to clear. When Brittany's Pikmin are back, send her back to the electric gate. Meanwhile, Alph should use the [[geyser]] to go up to the higher level, and use the remaining Pikmin with the Yellow Pikmin (who should have finished destroying the gate) to carry the other pile of fragments. Brittany should then use the geysers to reach the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]], defeat it, and then carry the last fragment pile. Alph should walk to the bridge as the last pile is being carried, so he can cross the bridge as soon as it is done.


==In Side Stories==
Send Alph to where Brittany is, and throw 20 Pikmin up the ledge next to the [[iron ball]]. Throw a leader up the ledge and push down the iron ball, and then walk into the cave. Ignore everything in it and exit out the other side, then turn left after destroying the large crystal. Enter the next cave and activate the [[electrode]]. Walk over the [[Bloominous Stemple]]s to the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] arena. Defeat the boss using a quick method, such as the one at [[Vehemoth Phosbat#Strategy]]. After that, you're done, as the Distant Tundra is the only area to not involve carrying an item from the boss to the landing site. You can end the day immediately, though if you want to return to the area later, exit the cave back to the main segment of the area and push down the [[paper bag]] first.
