Sparkling Springs

Sparkling Springs is the third area in Pikmin: Treacherous Treasures. It consists of a large peninsula surrounded by a large, deep pool of water. Inside the pool of water are coral reefs, aquatic plants and enemies, and many puzzles and obstacles that may lead to treasures or caves. Only water-resistant Pikmin, such as Blue Pikmin, are able to traverse this part of the area. Meanwhile, the peninsula is a very lush tropical forest with many types of flora and fauna, most notably several subspecies of Water Dumples. The peninsula also contains the landing site, as well as many obstacles and puzzles that can be solved by non-aquatic Pikmin. There are also several Warp Pipes around the area that can transport non-aquatics to some of the area's many underground caverns, which can normally only be accessed through the water area. To activate the pipes, you must use Dandelion Candypop Buds to turn aquatic Pikmin into Yellow Pikmin so you can activate an electrode and activate the pipe. The underground caverns can lead to either treasures or entrances to one of the area's four caves.
