The '''Secluded Courtyard''' is a [[cave]] in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] in {{p4}}. It has a zen garden theme. Many of its [[enemies]] are mimics, such as members of [[skitterling family]] and [[dweevil family]]. This extends to the cave's [[boss]]: the [[Foolix]]. [[Yellow Pikmin]] are useful here with its high ledges and electric hazards, though [[Ice Pikmin]] are also recommended for dealing with water obstacles and freezing the aforementioned boss. This cave has {{sparklium|p4|845}} worth of treasure.

The Secluded Courtyard is in the southeast of the [[Blossoming Arcadia]], on a plateau. A [[dirt wall]] and an [[electric gate]] must be destroyed to reach it.

From the left of the starting area, head up the hill to collect the Decorative Goo. Be aware that one of the eggs contains a Sunsquish. From the right of the starting area, defeat the enemies and destroy the Spotcaps to access the Citrus Lump. To collect the Universal Rubber Cutie, first freeze the small body of water with Ice Pikmin after plucking the underwater Blue Pikmin sprouts. Then walk towards the treasure, and defeat the Skitter Leaves after they fall from the sky. Finally, carry the treasure back to the S.S. Beagle.

The castaway in this sublevel can be approached from either direction. Make sure to defeat all the Anode Dweevils to stop them from electrifying Pikmin carrying items back – one is hiding behind the dirt wall. To collect the Talisman of Life (Cherry Blossom), throw at least 2 Pikmin at the base of the climbing stick from the lower block.
