The Impact Site: Difference between revisions

'''The Impact Site''' ({{j|遭難地点|Sōnan Chiten|Shipwreck Point}}) is the first [[area]] in {{p1}}. As its name suggests, it is the site where the [[S.S. Dolphin]] crash-lands at the start of the game, and serves as a tutorial area where [[Captain Olimar]] first discovers the Pikmin. The area contains 2 [[ship part]]s, one of which is collected in the tutorial. [[Red Pikmin]] are discovered in this area, which is set in a sandy forest. It contains few enemies, though 2 [[boss]]es, the [[Mamuta]] and the [[Goolix]], do appear on alternating days from day 8 onwards. This area was reused in {{p2}} as part of the [[Wistful Wild]].

To note is that the Pellet Posies, Pearly Clamclamps, and [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s will be there every day, making this area one of the best to increase the Pikmin population in. The highest amount of Pikmin one could raise in The Impact Site in one day is 301 (unless one were to hit the Flint Beetles more than eight times – hitting each nine times would produce 307, hitting each one twelve times would produce 322 – but this is highly unlikely).

This is the small area that holds the [[Main Engine]]. It is quite crowded and small, serving mostly to suggest the importance of navigating an area and of utilizing the objects scattered around for the player's advantage. There is a ramp at the center of this room that can be used to access the stump arena, after the cardboard box has been pushed to create a bridge. On later days [[bomb rock]]s can be found inside the box, which may be used to destroy the [[reinforced wall]] with the help of [[Yellow Pikmin]].

Once [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Yellow Pikmin]] have been discovered, the final part in this area can be collected. Start by taking some Blue and Yellow Pikmin into the area where the Main Engine was located, and collect at least 3 [[bomb rock]]s from inside the box. Head up the slope to the stump and, using the bomb rocks, break the [[gate#Reinforced wall|white reinforced wall]]. Be careful on the stump as a [[Mamuta]] or [[Goolix]] can spawn depending what day you are on. Once you enter the pond, head to the farthest left [[Pearly Clamclamp]] and use Blue Pikmin to free the [[Positron Generator]]. Pikmin must be thrown and whistled in bursts to avoid them being eaten by the Clam. Break the [[gate#Bramble gate|white bramble gate]] and retrieve the part to complete the area.

*Strangely, a [[Spotty Bulborb]] can be seen during the end of day [[cutscene]], even though there are none present in the actual area.

*In ''Pikmin 3'', [[Music in Pikmin 3#Alph's Crash Site|Alph's crash site's theme]] takes inspiration from [[Music in Pikmin#The Impact Site|The Impact Site's theme]], as does the most common [[Music in Pikmin 3#Bingo Battle 1 (nature)|Bingo Battle theme]]. The [[Music in Pikmin Adventure#Tutorial stage|tutorial stage theme]] from {{pa}} is also based on The Impact Site's music.
