Tropical Wilds: Difference between revisions

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.

==Key sections==

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.

;Normal landing site:

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.

The first half of the main part of the area is separated from the second by a river, although the two are connected by a swirling pathway on the east, next to the waterfall. A tunnel to the west of the landing site opens a path to a high ledge from which one can drop down to the northern half of the main area, however.

This whole section has a large protrusion in the middle, so the ground-level paths surround it. This protrusion can be accesssed with nearby [[seesaw blocks]], and from it, there is access to a small cave with a [[Medusal Slurker]]. To the north is a beach, and to the west, two circular arenas where the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] is fought, separated by a short yet insurmountable wall.

This is where the first [[day]] takes place, on the far southeast of the area. To the south is a small pond, where Alph first awakes. From here on out, the outdoors terrain is all sandy. The first part of this section is at a lower level than the second, and a [[bridge]] is needed to go forward. Beyond some more terrain is a small linear cave that leads into the main area. Near the pond, there's a ledge that leads to the main area right away, but to reach it, one leader must toss another; this corridor has the [[Metal Suit Z]] on it.

;Sandbelching Meerslug path:

;Medusal Slurker's cave:

The first cave entered in this area is a curved path that leads from Alph's crash site to the main landing site.

{{stub}}

When you land in this area after rescuing Charlie, take as many Pikmin as you can out of the Onion. Walk down the ledge towards the light brown [[bridge]] and get some Pikmin to destroy the nearby [[dirt wall]]. Throw a leader and about 20 Pikmin (preferably [[Rock Pikmin]]) across the unfinished bridge, and get 2 to lift the pile of fragments in front of you and the rest to destroy the dirt wall. As the wall is destroyed, get the leader closer to the base to throw more Pikmin across the gap, and the other leader to put them on the dirt wall to speed up the process. When the wall is destroyed, go up the hill, start carrying all the fragments, and defeat the [[Swooping Snitchbug]]. When the bridge is built, get all 3 leaders to the top of the hill. Throw 2 leaders and 10 Pikmin to the island stump and send the remaining leader and the rest of the Pikmin to the dirt wall next to the landing site. Get a leader on the island stump to throw the Pikmin and the remaining leader to the far side, and push down the [[paper bag]]. Get the leader near the landing site to defeat the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] and dig up the [[dirt mound]] to destroy the [[reinforced wall]] with [[bomb rock]]s, and then walk up the paper bag with the whole squad. Go to the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]] arena, and defeat the boss using a quick method, such as the one at [[Sandbelching Meerslug#Strategy]]. Carry back the [[Folded Data Glutton]] to the landing site straight away, and don't bother carrying the boss itself or the [[Crimson Banquet]], as they are too slow to carry. If you need fruit, a [[Pocked Airhead]] is buried very close to the landing site.
