Distant Planet

Distant Planet is a world in Dark Storm 3. It is based on the games in the Pikmin series

First Visit
Stephen lands on this world, thinking it to be Earth. When he enters the atmosphere, however, he is shrunken down to the size of a pen cap! Captain Olimar happens to be in the same area where Stephen landed and sees the hero, throwing a pikmin at him. Stephen slices the pikmin in half, killing it. Olimar teams up with Stephen to find a lost ship part. The duo go down to the BaySide. There they find many monsters guarding the lost part. As Stephen is spotted by them, all the monsters merge into the Etra Large darkness! After a battle, the darkness splits in two and fades. Stephen tries to leave, but Olimar finds a peice of Clay with a Leaf sketched on it - the Grass Element!

Second Visit
Stephen lands on this world again to fight a hidden boss, the Smoky Progg! He wins and gets part of the Alpha+Omega charm.
