The Forest Navel

Location from Pikmin by Nintendo / Shigeru Miyamoto

An underground labyrinth lit by bioluminescent mushrooms — the belly button of the world, where Blue Pikmin wait in the dark and fire geysers line every path worth taking.

Also known as: The Forest Navel, Forest Navel, The Navel

What They Know

• The only fully underground area in Pikmin 1 — no visible sky, perpetual darkness except for bioluminescent Glowcap mushrooms
• Where Blue Pikmin and their Onion are discovered — the third and final Pikmin type, enabling access to all water areas across the game
• Contains 9 ship parts — the highest count of any single area, including the Omega Stabilizer (from Puffstool) and Guard Satellite (from Beady Long Legs)
• Fire geysers and water pools create a type-management gauntlet — Red Pikmin for fire paths, Blue Pikmin for water sections
• Glowcaps emit light through Hocotatium 111, a bioluminescent compound — the only natural light source in the cave system
