Pikmin Park: Difference between revisions

After that area is completed, the ship recommends that [[Olimar]] brings the Pikmin he's found so far to a safe place. This doesn't include the Pikmin found in the Pikmin Park at the start of the game, since those got left behind when the initial exploration of the park finished. It then proceeds to beam up both Olimar and the Pikmin. After this, the Pikmin Park opens, and the Pikmin found are placed there, being the first ones to populate the park from here on out. While discussing the park, the S.S. Dolphin II points out that it found Sparklium readings within the park, but does not know where it is. The gathered Pikmin prove themselves useful here, as Olimar orders them to clean out the central part of the park. They start plucking away at the blades of grass there. After a short conversation, the ship points out that the Pikmin found something: the [[Distortion Chamber]]. Realizing that the Pikmin won't find anything else for a while, the ship tells Olimar to order the Pikmin to continue cleaning, as the duo heads off to a new area.

Pikmin will only clean up grass if there is nothing else they can clean instead in that section. In addition, if the entrance is empty, there is a chance that a [[Coppeller]] carrying a Sparklium Seed will appear there. Pikmin can be ordered to go there to shoo it away, and make it drop what it was carrying.

=== Pikmin Park Entrance ===

[[File:HP Pikmin Park Entrance.jpg|thumb|The Pikmin Park Entrance.]]

This section is [[Mistake|erroneously]] called "Central Pikmin Park" in the US [[region|version]] of the game.

This is the location where the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] crash-landed, and where the [[Onion]] is. When a new type of Pikmin is added to the park, it ends up here. Groups of Pikmin that manage to uncover something will also return to this section. If the entrance does not have any Pikmin in it, there is a chance that a [[Coppeller]] carrying a [[Sparklium Seed]] of some type will show up. Ordering some Pikmin to this section will make the creature drop what it is carrying, and will award the player with it.

=== Central Pikmin Park ===

This section is [[Mistake|erroneously]] called "Pikmin Park Entrance" in the US [[region|version]] of the game.

When the player enters the park for the first time, this is the first section, besides the entrance at the north, to be available. It only has six patches of grass. When the park is first entered, a tutorial starts, and in it, the player must order Pikmin to work on this section. Right after they begin, they discover the [[Distortion Chamber]].

The requirements to unlock Western Pikmin Park are not known, but it may happen when the second or third patch of grass in [[#Central Pikmin Park|Central Pikmin Park]] (or "Pikmin Park Entrance" in the US version) is cleared, or when [[The Shadow in the Brush]] is completed. When the player visits this section for the first time, the ship will point out the fireplaces, and recommend using Red Pikmin. Besides those, it has some [[crystal]]s and some plain patches of grass.

After [[First Expedition]] is completed (or the first area that the player brought Pikmin to the end in), the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] sends the salvaged Pikmin to the Pikmin Park, and a tutorial about the park begins. In this tutorial, the player must order the group of [[Red Pikmin]] to work on Central Pikmin Park ("Pikmin Park Entrance" in the US). Once the player places them there, they clean up some of the grass, and before long, still inside the tutorial, they uncover the [[Distortion Chamber]].

When the Pikmin clear up the second or third patch of grass in Central Pikmin Park, they uncover a stash of [[Sparklium Seeds]], worth {{sparklium|30}} in total.
