Area
Location

Areas are the main explorable locations that can be visited by leaders, and provide a range of environments to grow Pikmin, fight enemies, collect items, and explore subenvironments such as caves. Areas can be three-dimensional environments with various sections and corridors connected non-linearly, but, perspective pending, can also be two-dimensional and linear. Each area has one landing site, multiple in Pikmin 4, where the ship and Onions can land at the beginning of each day, and these are usually connected in several directions to spaces nearby. Additionally, areas can have different types of weather, which, in fanon media, can alter an area and its temperature. Initially, only one area is available to explore until more are unlocked, which is done through a variety of means such as collecting a particular object, collecting enough of a certain type of object, traveling, overcoming a boss, or outright not being able to meet a goal in the current area.
