i absolutely love this addition, forest navels heavy go any, work your way back up, level design has cemented it as my favorite Pikmin 1 area, and having an amazing callback in Pikmin 3s (my favorite pikmin games) mission mode is fantastic!

I don't know if this is true, but since the Forest Navel is underground, it could be blocked by the manhole you can find in the Valley of Repose in Pikmin 2

Man, im having a great day! I hope nothing ruins it! The treasure that flings itself into the abyss and ruins your day:

[Maffgiraffe.]

my favorite theory for why the forest navel and valley of repose are different is that the forest navel is under the sewer grate.
seeing as Olimar landed in the same spots as last time everywhere else it makes a lot of sense.

I got this theory from "Hair and bones" on YouTube.

FINALLY, im not the ONLY one thinking this map 🗺️

[kinfmin]

Something that really bothers me about having both the Impact Site and the Final Trial fused together is that they are actually so far apart on Pikmin 1's map select screen.

[NinjaGamr]

so theres something called the MANHOLE THEORY

[alfredo-abc]

What i wanna know is how pikmin 2 takes place right after pikmin 1 yet two areas that were a lake apart are somehow next to each other now

[CrySusChau]

I know the Perplexing Pool is the Distant Spring but i have no idea that the Awakening Wood is the Forest of Hope and the Wistful Wild is the connection of the Impact Site and the Final Trial

[Lanayru_Desert]

How did I not know any of these were the same lmao

[neongaming]

Ahhh nostalgia, Heck of a series, I remember the early days of gamecube games ^^ Mario party, Double dash, Paper Mario, Wind waker and Pikmin

[Shish-Kabob]

Did you have to remind me of the disappearing treasure?

[ThePersonWhoIsSayingThisIsCool]

I still remember your pikmin jumped repeatedly for like 30 seconds in that one live stream after you got the libra down

[morevrai]

It’s so weird bc when I first played the map everything seemed so familiar in the pathing😭

[slepdeprivedkitty]

Fun fact: the reason the Forest Navel isn't in Pikmin 2 is because it's cancer and no amount of tweaking it would make me like it. Fuck the Forest Navel, it's only redeeming factor is beady
Edit: over the past 2 months, I've played Pikmin 1 like 3 more times, and I can say with confidence that I get why people love it now. It isn't a perfect area, but it's vibe is unique, the bosses are fun, and there are way more bomb rocks than I originally thought were in those tiny holes.

I HAD NO IDEA I NEED TO GO PLAY PIKMIN 2

[gmr]

This is so cool I didn’t know they brought it back in the dlc
