Scorched Earth in the US, or Charred Plains in Europe, is the first main area in the Sweltering Parchlands. It introduces the fact that Red Pikmin are resistant to fire, and features several pits of fire that must be stamped out by the Pikmin before Olimar can go through. It also introduces a few fire-related enemies, such as the Fireflap Bulborb and the Dwarf Fiery Bulblax. Near the end, the player can brave against a Dwarf Fiery Bulblax and access a secret exit, which opens the way to the Sizzling Precipice, or they can proceed forward and take the normal exit to the Lights in the Darkness.

Cutscenes

Cutscene	Screenshot	Trigger	Description
Red Pikmin putting out a fire		From the starting location, the player advances a bit forward.	Four Red Pikmin are jumping on top of some open flames, putting them out. The fire starts dimming down, and after some seconds, they succeed and start cheering.
Tunnel hole		The player enters the first doorway.	Olimar and four Red Pikmin are inside a tunnel, and the floor has a small, shallow hole in the middle. Olimar notices this and activates his jetpack to fly across. The two Red Pikmin following closest to him walk up to the hole and jump across the gap. The third Pikmin is entertained with the fourth Pikmin and so has its head turned. It eventually walks into the edge of the hole, starts teetering, and the fourth Pikmin tries to grab it. It's too late, however, as the third Pikmin falls inside and lands on its back. The fourth Pikmin jumps across, and helps the other two Pikmin grab onto the one that fell, pulling it up. They succeed, flinging it farther ahead, that Pikmin celebrates, and they all rejoin Olimar, who was standing in place looking at the scene.
Seed tube		The player leaves the second doorway and advances a bit forward.	Four Red Pikmin are near a tube. One of them crawls inside, the tube rumbles a bit, and out comes a Sparklium Seed. The Pikmin crawls out, they all cheer, and that same Pikmin grabs the seed and stands aside. The remaining Pikmin all crawl inside the tube as well, and one by one, they manage to take out a seed, crawl out, and grab it.
