Impact Island is the first area in Pikmin: Distant Planet. The first day serves as a tutorial (it is always sunny) and afterwards the area becomes like all other areas. Part of the problem with this area is that it relies heavily on Blue Pikmin to get around the island, so until you find them you won't get very far here. Red Pikmin are native to the island and they join you on the first day. Also, Cyan Pikmin are first discovered in one of the dungeons here. One notable thing about the area is that all weather variations have an equal chance of occurring. The reason for this is because strange storms have been known to rage around the sea, disappearing as suddenly as they appeared. It was one of these storms that caused the Dolphin to get beached on Impact Island.
