the distant spring



after collecting 19ish parts, you can finally go to the distant spring
the distant spring is the biggest area in pikmin 1. it has like 10 parts... a ton of harder enemies... is just generally hard to traverse with all the water it has... the distant spring feels like the hardest area of pikmin 1.
i mean i guess it should. its the final level before the final trial
theres a ton of bulbears, a ton of wollywogs, water dumples that are way faster then their pikmin 2 counterparts, and only a handfull of bomb rocks.
a few of the parts can be collected easily, though most of the parts will need to be fought for
its just. generally not a safe place to be in

uh
i would say my favorite part to get here would be the #2 ionium jet. its the one where you need to throw your blues up on a ledge first and then you need to throw them to the part
most people prefer the chronos reactor, and i GUESS can see why... i just hate it myself though



take me back!!
