==Overview==
==Overview==
The Tropical Wilds is a fairly complex area. There are large bits of land, but also a few sub-areas, mostly strung together with corridors, tunnels, and caves. Only a few caves actually make up the destination sub-areas, which is the opposite of the [[Garden of Hope]] and the [[Distant Tundra]]. The main motif of the area is that of a tropical jungle, with a lot of greenery, sand, and [[water]]. Water is in fact one of the most abundant aspects of the area, making this area home to quite a few aquatic and beach-related enemies. There are several [[bridge]]s needing to be built, and alternate paths needing to be taken in order to cross shores, due to all the water. While most of the sub-areas lead to dead ends, the main section of the area is quite open-ended, even if parts of it are closed off by water or walls. Some of these walls actually belong to platforms on higher terrain that can also be explored – this mostly consists of tree trunk tops.

The main section of the area is an open-ended piece of land in a rough 8-shape, with the two halves split by a river. The landing site is at the southern half of this section. On the following list, all sections of text except for the first two refer to a different sub-area from the main one, meaning that the game performs a transition when going to and from those parts.

This is where the [[S.S. Drake]] lands during a normal exploration day. This half of the main area is mostly covered in water all around it, but there are some strips of land surrounding the perimeter of the area. These strips are also cut off by water, at parts. The actual landing site itself is in a circular base half enclosed by walls. From this part of the whole area, some tunnels and walls provide access to a multitude of different sub-areas. One of the most noteworthy locations here is the waterfall to the east.
