Placid Plains is the first area in Pikmin: Echoes of Eternity, being a mysterious land with tiny magenta grasses and cyan leaves. It is where Olimar and company find the Super Onion. The flora and fauna here are unlike anything Olimar and the Joker Squadron have ever seen. The entire area is surrounded by colorful red/magenta pebbles with Stone Turrtugos
Plot/Progression
Olimar and the two Joker Squadron members discover a whole cache of Red Pikmin engulfed in a sticky sac! The one Red that they have with them is unable to untangle the web. After some exploring, the team discovers an Ion Battery. They use it to charge the Plasma Cutter and return to the sac, freeing the 19 Reds. From here, they return to the site Olimar emerged at, and the Pikmin dig up the object, revealing a large onion with pale green and grey patterns on it. Olimar dubs this the Super Onion, as it is much bigger than any Onion he has ever seen.
Olimar and co. now resume their trek through the plains. They come across several large twigs, and the Pikmin indicate they want to pick them up. They return the twigs to the Onion, and it sends out a beam of energy that cuts the twigs into logs of wood, which get stored in the Super Onion. Imani comments that she is no architect but they can use the wood to build a structure to protect from the nocturnal predators. The player can now freely collect more twigs for the wood resource.
The trek to the rest of the squad's signal is filled with fire and poison hazards, and several enemies, such as the Earthfin Dolfsheep and the Blue Beevorb.
