In Pikmin 4, you’ll have to travel around multiple areas to unlock new treasure, complete the story, and discover new types of Pikmin.
Pikmin 4 has six stages and each one will only unlock once you grab enough treasure and complete story objectives. Treasure you get will get turned into Sparklium, which helps power your ship to find new areas. There is a ton of treasure in the game, so you shouldn’t have any problems nabbing enough to unlock stages. If you’re in a rut, remember to use Oatchi’s sleuthing abilities to sniff out more treasure.
Below, we list out all Pikmin 4 stages along with how many collectables (rescues, treasures, and Onions) are in each one. Note that when we list Onions, that also includes Flarlic bulbs (the Onions that expand how many Pikmin you can have out but do not unlock new Pikmin).
