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. | In ''Pikmin 2'', [[Yellow Pikmin]] are discovered in this area.

*If the Perplexing Pool is visited on the fourth day - the earliest possible day it can be unlocked - a trio of [[eggs]] can be seen falling from the sky if a Leader or Pikmin wander near the [[Beady Long Legs]]'s spawn point. This is the only case in the overworld where an object (other than the aforementioned Beady Long Legs) can fall from the sky, since all other objects that fall do so in caves. If one opens the game files to look at the definition that creates those eggs, they can find a comment reading {{j|ハテナタマゴ３Ｉ|Hatenatamago 3 I|Question egg 3I}}. | *If the Perplexing Pool is visited on the fourth day - the earliest possible day it can be unlocked - a trio of [[eggs]] can be seen falling from the sky if a Leader or Pikmin wander near the [[Beady Long Legs]]'s spawn point.
