Mightywide River (Japanese: ヨーヨーリバー Yōyō River) is a location on Belusylva Island of the Lental region. It was added in the version 2.0.0 update to New Pokémon Snap on August 4, 2021.

Layout

The route follows the course of a wide river, with dense jungle lining the banks of the river. Several riverbends are followed by a short waterfall which the NEO-ONE follows, which then opens up to a wider part of the river. A larger waterfall to the right of the path empties into this wider section where Magikarp nd Gyarados can be found. The river then narrows to a short section of rapids, before the river empties into a lake. Pokémon such as Wooper, Quagsire, and Tropius can be found throughout the route, alongside several flying Pokémon including Toucannon and Vivillon.

Alternate routes

The moonlit cave can be unlocked in both the Day and Night routes. It is first unlocked on research level 2 of the Night route. This can be accessed by using the scan function when approaching hanging vines past the large waterfall where Beautifly are perched upon. This cave contains Cleffa, Morelull, and Drilbur. This altnerate path can then be unlocked on the Day route on research level 3. Once unlocked, it can be accessed on all research levels on the Day and Night routes (excluding Day research level 2).
On research level 2 on the Day route, a Quagsire will jump into the water as the player passes by the large waterfall, which slightly diverges the path of the NEO-ONE. While this doesn't introduce new Pokémon to the course, the player can take closer pictures of nearby Pokémon like Tropius.
On the Night path, a Feraligatr can be seen roaming around on top of a rocky ledge at the first riverbend. Throwing a fluffruit at it will cause it to reappear just before the first waterfall drop. Once it reappears, it will dive off the cliff in front of the player and shift their path to the side. This allows them to take closer pictures of Pokémon like Ariados and Ursaring.

Pokémon appearances

No.	Pokémon	Research Level	Stars	Description
001	Vivillon	1-3		River and Jungle Pattern Vivillon appear flying around, or perched on rocks or trees throughout the route.
003	Grookey	1-3		Grookey appears at various points along the route alongside a Sobble. It will initially appear at the start of the route on the righthand side with Sobble. Here, it may interact with other Pokémon, such as a Wooper on research level 2, and Aipom on research level 3. It can be found walking on a rocky ledge opposite the large waterfall later in the route, and sleeping with Sobble and Tropius at the end of the course.
020	Magikarp	1-3		Magikarp can be found at most points along the waterways of the river. They may jump out of the water in response to a scan or a fluffruit thrown into the water at various points along the river.
020	Magikarp	1-3	★★★★	Research level 1-2: Bubbles will appear on the surface of the water close to the Psyduck being chased by Aipom. If an Illumina orb is thrown at the bubbles, a Magikarp will jump out of the water and flail on the ground. Scanning will prompt the Psyduck to approach Magikarp and use Confusion on it.
041	Aipom	1-3		A group of Aipom appear walking along a rocky ledge then climbing over a tree that acts as a bridge across the sides of the river early in the route. They will then chase after a Psyduck to the left of the path after the first riverbend. On research level 3, they will appear at the start of the route, and one hidden in the bushes on the right will accompany Grookey and Sobble if a fluffruit is thrown at it. Aipom can also be found on the ceiling on the alternate route, and at the end with Tropius if the Aipom is made to follow Grookey and Sobble at the start of the course.
043	Metapod	1-3		Several Metapod can be seen at the start of the route, and another clinging on a tree at the first riverbend.
043	Metapod	1-3	★★★★	Research level 2+: An Arbok swimming at the start of the route can be illuminated with an Illumina orb. Scanning will then cause Arbok to surface onto the land, startling the Metapod and causing them to use Harden.
044	Beautifly	1-3		Beautifly can be found flying through the route, including at the start and end of the route, as well as on the alternate path in the Moonlit Cave.
045	Arbok	2-3		An Arbok appears swimming in the water at the start of the route. If it is illuminated with an Illumina orb and the scan function is used, it will slither onto the land. It will then reappear to defend Psyduck from the Aipom (research level 2) or Ursaring (research level 3). A second Arbok can be found sleeping on a tree branch near the large waterfall on research level 2. Using the scan function will cause a nearby Magikarp to jump out of the water and cause Arbok to fall. This Arbok will then reappear on the patch of land just past the large waterfall.
045	Arbok	2-3	★★★★	Research level 3: If Arbok is illuminated at the start of the course, followed by the scan function, it will reappear to defend Psyduck from Arbok. If an Illumina orb is thrown at it while it is attacking Ursaring, it will use its tail to successfully intimidate the Ursaring away. It will then reappear at the end sleeping while cuddled up with Psyduck.
048	Toucannon	1-3		Toucannon can be found flying overhead various points on the route. Toucannon also appear on the patches of land around the large waterfall. If the last crystabloom on the main path has been illuminated, several Toucannon will land near it.
048	Toucannon	1-3	★★★★	Research level 3: Illuminating the last crystabloom along the main route will cause Toucannon to perch on the rocky ledge nearby. Playing a melody will cause Drilbur to jump out of the ground next to the Toucannon.
054	Wooper	2-3		Wooper appears at the start alongside Grookey and Sobble on research level 2, and can be seen again with the two friends on a rocky ledge opposite the large waterfall. A Wooper also surfaces on the ground after the group of sleeping Swampert. Wooper can also appear from its hiding spots in moving areas of water at the start of the route (if a fluffruit is thrown) or at the end (if an Illumina orb is thrown; research level 3).
054	Wooper	2-3	★★★★	Research level 3: Bubbles of water appear at the surface of the water close to the start of the route. Throwing an Illumina orb at it will cause a Wooper to jump out and greet a Tropius. They can later be seen with Wooper flying on Tropius' head, close to where the Swampert and Quagsire are lying asleep.
055	Quagsire	2-3		Quagsire can be found next to the Feraligatr at the first riverbend of the route on research level 2. It will also jump into the water and disrupt the NEO-ONE's course at the large waterfall on research level 2. It can also be found sleeping on the alternate route, and also appears swimming at the end of the route.
056	Swampert	1-3		A group of Swampert appear sleeping to the left of the river after the large waterfall. A Swampert also surfaces out of the water if the second crystabloom on the alternate path is illuminated.
056	Swampert	1-3	★★★★	Research level 3: Three hidden Swampert can be revealed by throwing Illumina orbs at areas of moving water - the first just past the large waterfall, the second outside the entrance to the alternate route, and the third inside the Moonlit Cave near the second sleeping Feraligatr and Quagsire. Another patch of moving water will then appear at the end of the route. If an Illumina orb is thrown into the water, the three Swampert will jump out of the water.
058	Sobble	1-3		Sobble appears at various points along the route alongside a Grookey. It will initially appear at the start of the route on the righthand side with Grookey. Here, it may interact with other Pokémon, such as a Wooper on research level 2, and Aipom on research level 3. It can be found walking on a rocky ledge opposite the large waterfall later in the route, and sleeping with Grookey and Tropius at the end of the course.
218	Feraligatr	1-3		Feraligatr appears from underwater at the first riverbend. Another appears swimming at the end of the route on research level 2. On the alternate route, one can be seen sleeping next to a Quagsire, while another will jump out of the water if the second crystabloom inside Moonlit Cave has been illuminated on research level 3.
219	Tropius	1-3		Groups of Tropius can be found at several points on the route, including on the patch of land after the large waterfall and at the end of the route. A lone Tropius appears at the start of the route and others can be seen flying along the course of the river on research level 3.
219	Tropius	1-3	★★★★	Research level 1+: Throwing an Illumina orb at Tropius will cause it to jump off the ground and hover just above the ground. Research level 3: Bubbles of water appear at the surface of the water close to the start of the route. Throwing an Illumina orb at it will cause a Wooper to jump out and greet a Tropius. They can later be seen with Wooper flying on Tropius' head, close to where the Swampert and Quagsire are lying asleep.
220	Psyduck	1-3		A Psyduck can be seen being chased away by Aipom near the start of the route. A second Psyduck will jump out of the water if an Illumina orb is thrown into the water close to the large waterfall. Psyduck will also appear swimming down the river on the main and alternate routes, and will surface onto land after the group of sleeping Swampert on the main path.
220	Psyduck	1-3	★★★★	Research level 1-2: Bubbles will appear on the surface of the water close to the Psyduck being chased by Aipom. If an Illumina orb is thrown at the bubbles, a Magikarp will jump out of the water and flail on the ground. Scanning will prompt the Psyduck to approach Magikarp and use Confusion on it. Research level 3: When Ursaring has approached Psyduck near the start of the route, throwing an Illumina orb at Psyduck will cause it to use Confusion. Alternatively, if Arbok is illuminated at the start of the course and followed by the scan function, it will reappear to defend Psyduck from Arbok. If an Illumina orb is thrown at it while it is attacking Ursaring, it will use its tail to successfully intimidate the Ursaring away. It will then reappear at the end sleeping while cuddled up with Psyduck.
221	Ursaring	3		Ursaring will appear after the first riverbend, chasing away a group of Aipom. Another appears sleeping on a tree branch near the large waterfall. Using the scan function will cause a Magikarp to jump out of the water, causing Ursaring to fall. It will then reappear on the patch of land just past the large waterfall. Ursaring also appear sleeping at two other points later in the route.
222	Drilbur	3		Several Drilbur appear in groups throughout the route. They may tunnel into the ground occasionally. The first can be found at the start of the route if Arbok is made to surface onto the ground. Another larger group appears above and beyond the sleeping Swampert and Quagsire.
222	Drilbur	3	★★★★	Research level 3: Illuminating the last crystabloom along the main route will cause Toucannon to perch on the rocky ledge nearby. Playing a melody will cause Drilbur to jump out of the ground and pose. Alternatively, playing a melody as the NEO-ONE passes by a group of Drilbur high on a rocky ledge after the large waterfall will cause them to dig into the ground. They will reappear by digging out of a wall further down the river and fly across like a propellor.
223	Cleffa	1, 3		Cleffa appear on the alternate route and will dance in response to a melody.
223	Cleffa	1, 3	★★★★	Research level 3: Activating the first crystabloom on the alternate route will cause Cleffa the appear out of the grass (throwing several Illumina orbs will summon more a group of Cleffa). Cleffa will then start using Metronome, and they will summon a tornado.
