The Abandoned Toybox is the first cave found in the Wistful Wild of Pikmin 251, and the first explored in the game. It is short and serves primarily as a tutorial on cave exploration much like the Emergence Cave from Pikmin 2. There are  × 570 worth of treasures split between three treasures. No boss exists in the Abandoned Toybox, but some dwarf bulborbs call this cave home. Together, enemies are worth  × 24 if brought to the research pod.

How to Reach

The entrance is found in a corner Northeast from the landing site, near the Overgrown Parasol. To reach it, the player must weigh down a paper bag with forty Yellow Pikmin if they do not take the extra time to weigh down another bag with seventy Pikmin. Afterwards, they will face the first enemies capable of actually harming Pikmin. With minimum casualties, the player will have around seventy Pikmin to bring into the Abandoned Toybox on day two, if all available resources are brought to the onion.
