'''Foaming Lake''' ({{j|あぶくの みずうみ|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.

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.

| 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.

From the start of the area head to the right until encountering the first large underwater area. Continue swimming to the right until the first underwater bush to whistle the four [[Blue Pikmin]] hiding in it. After whistling the Pikmin continue forward while avoiding the [[Puckering Blinnow]]s and [[Eye-Stalker Bulbeel]]s until the [[dirt block]] blocking the path forward. After breaking the dirt block continue forward while avoiding more Puckering Blinnows until the first intersection. head to the left area by breaking two dirt blocks in order to find four more Blue Pikmin. From here head to the right until the next Eye-Stalker Bulbeel. Swim down to the lower corridor to find the [[Giga Whistle]]. After collecting the treasure head to the right until encountering the two [[vine]]s. climb up the first set in order to reach the second set of vines using the [[jetpack]] to reach the [[Rocket Polish]]. After collecting the treasure head back underwater and whistle four more Blue Pikmin in a nearby underwater bush. After collecting them head to the right until encountering a large amount of dirt blocks with four Blue Pikmin playing above it. Start breaking the blocks while avoiding a nearby [[Large Splurchin]] in order to uncover a [[doorway]] leading to another underwater area.

 

Upon entering the room head up to the [[Sparklium Seed]]s and head to the right while being chased by another Large Splurchin. At the end of the corridor is a doorway leading to the next part of the area. From here whistle the last group of four Blue Pikmin near the doorway and head to the right. In between two Eye-Stalker Bulbeels and a few Puckering Blinnow lays the [[Berserker Brush]]. After colelcting the treasure continue heading to the right while avoiding one last Puckering Blinnow before the end of the area.
