'''Foaming Lake''' ({{j|あぶくの湖|Abuku no Mizuumi|Foam Lake}}) is the first main [[area]] in the [[Verdant Waterfront]]. It is almost entirely underwater in a lake, and is the first area in {{hp}} with [[water]] and [[Blue Pikmin]]. There are many underwater creatures throughout the level, such as [[Eye-Stalker Bulbeel]]s which are actually found most frequently here. It is also more spread out than most underwater levels, giving the player and enemies a lot of room to swim in.

== Plot ==
{{game help|hp|Describe plot points in this area, if there are any.}}

== Description ==
This area takes place in a big lake, and serves as an introduction for aquatic environments to the player. Right at the start, the player has to dive into water, in a small puddle. After this, the player dives again in the water, but this time, [[Olimar]] meets some aquatic creatures, such as [[Puckering Blinnow]]s and [[Eye-Stalker Bulbeel]]s. He also encounters some [[Blue Pikmin]], who make their first appearance in the game. After a long travel through a path infested with the two harmful creatures previously mentioned, the player can get access of the first treasure, the [[Giga Whistle]]. The protagonist just has to be careful to not be attacked by the Eye-Stalker Bulbeel, hidden near the entrance of the small path to the treasure. Near it, the player just has to climb some [[vine]]s to access the second treasure, the [[Rocket Polish]]. Some time after this, the player will come across some [[dirt block]]s blocking the way to a door, in addition to a [[Large Splurchin]]. On the other side, the player has to swim quickly in a long doorway, because the protagonist is followed by a big Large Splurchin. This long doorway leads to another door. On the other side, Olimar will face three Eye-Stalker Bulbeels and some Puckering Blinnows. This army of creatures protects the last treasure, the [[Berserker Brush]]. The end of the level isn't very far away from it.

| The player advances a bit beyond the first [[Eye-Stalker Bulbeel]].
| Four Blue Pikmin appear swimming away from a [[Puckering Blinnow]] &ndash; they even swim in a loop to try to lose the enemy. They eventually swim into an underwater bush, and the creature loses track of them. A second or two pass, one of the Pikmin pokes its head out, and then goes back in.
|-
! Diving Pikmin
| [[File:Foaming Lake diving cutscene.jpg|200px]]
| The player goes destroys the dirt blocks and advances forward when the path goes up and splits left and right.
| Four Blue Pikmin pop out of a bush. One by one, they head for the ledge and dive into the water. The first does a double backflip, the second does a double frontflip, and the other two go for a simple cannonball.
