==Yellow Pikmin==

[[File:Perplexing Pool View.png|thumb|A view of where the Yellow Pikmin are located.]]

In ''Pikmin 2'', [[Yellow Pikmin]] are discovered in this area. The player must navigate around the stumps and use the [[scales]] to get to higher elevation. Alternately, if they are skilled enough, they can throw their Pikmin onto the ledge near the bridge to the right of the large stumps, then carefully guide them to building the bridge. Any Pikmin that fall in the water can be easily whistled back. The Fiery Blowhog in the way can be bypassed. Then, the player must fight a [[Fiery Bulblax]] with [[Red Pikmin]]. After killing the Fiery Bulblax, [[White Pikmin]] must break down a bramble gate with poison pipes inside. The Yellow Pikmin are on the other side of this gate.

==Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard==

*There is a crack to the southwest of the landing site, indicating the presence of a [[clog]].

*There is a large metal tube protruding off the ground in the water, to the southeast of the landing site, instead of two plastic tubes.

*The sand plot near the [[Chronos Reactor]] from [[The Distant Spring]] is present, and the nearby block with a [[Golden Candypop Bud]], also from The Distant Spring is also present, but sunken into the ground.

*The stone block buried to the northwest of the landing site is not present.

*The wooden structures near the [[Glutton's Kitchen]]'s entrance and the [[Optical Illustration]] are not present.

*The ground at the western river and the center of the area is at the same level, so it is possible to walk from one to the other at will. In the in-game area, the center's terrain is higher.

*In-game, there is a gap to the northeast of the landing site that requires a [[bridge]] to cross. It is absent in the Piklopedia variant.

*In-game, there is a flat stump found to the west of the Glutton's Kitchen entrance. The stump is cut much higher in the Piklopedia version.

*Most of the trunks at the north of the landing site don't have walls, or have lower walls than in-game.

*The inaccessible area to the south of the [[Shower Room]] entrance is a lot more detailed than shown in-game.
