The Final Trial is the last area you may unlock in Pikmin 1. It is across a small body of water, (most likely a lake), on the area select map from the other areas, and has radically different terrain. It only has one part and is almost enemy free, save Emperor Bulblax, which holds the last ship part, the Secret Safe. This area would later become a part of the Wistful Wild level, along with The Impact Site.
As a side note, this level can be completed purely with Yellow Pikmin. This is done by making the Pikmin "swim" to the bridges, and by throwing them over the slanted part of the metal wall between the second bridge and the box, then making the Pikmin run over to the before mentioned box. Since Pikmin cannot be produced here unless the Boss is killed, 3 Candypop Buds are present at the landing site next to the Yellow Onion. Each one can change 50 Pikmin, and then wilt.
General Layout
To the south lies the landing site, along with three different colored Candypop Buds. In the center lies a small pool of water. Blue Pikmin can be used here to build a bridge to an island. To the left of this island, a narrow path with fire geysers. Red Pikmin can be led across here to move a box. To the right, some more smaller islands with Bomb-rocks, which can be used to break the solid stone gate on the island with the bridge. To the north is a box, the arena where Emperor Bulblax is fought and then a wall that leads to three pipes with several Bomb-rocks.
