The '''Forest Navel''' is the third level in the [[Pikmin 1|first Pikmin game]]. The entire area is underground and is accessed by a hole in a vast clearing of the forest. From high altitude it looks like a belly button, hence its name. This area is where you will meet [[Blue Pikmin]] for the first time. Nine pieces of [[Captain Olimar]]'s ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin|Dolphin]] can be found in the area, as well as many new enemies.  It should also be noted that this is the only area that does not reappear in Pikmin 2 under a different name.

It contains 9 [[ship part]]s and is unlocked by collecting 5 ship parts in the previous areas. [[Blue Pikmin]] are discovered in this area. The [[Enemy|enemies]] in this area reflect its dark underground nature, with [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, [[Wollywog]]s, and a unique boss, the [[Puffstool]]. This area was not reused in {{p2}}, though it was remade in {{p3}} as a [[Mission Mode]] stage, the [[Forgotten Cove]].

In the center lies the landing site, which is surrounded by [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] and several places to obtain [[nectar]]. To the west is where [[Blue Pikmin]] are originally found. This part consists of several small pools of water at different altitudes, all the way to the north of the map, which are based on real-world structures called rimstone dams. To the west of that is a narrow path covered with [[fire geyser]]s. To the south is a sandy beach where [[Fiery Blowhog]]s can be found. There are also some [[bridge]]s that should be constructed so that Pikmin can get back to the [[S.S. Dolphin]]. To the southwest lies a big lake with [[Wollyhop]]s. To the southeast is a dark area with fire geysers and [[Common Glowcap]]s where the [[Puffstool]] can be found. And finally, to the east is the arena where [[Beady Long Legs]] is fought.


[[Bomb-rock]]s in this area are found in pipes, for a total of 25. There is one near the pool where the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet|#1 Ionium Jet]] is found. There's another one next to the place the [[Gravity Jumper]] lies.

The Forest Navel is composed mostly of watery areas. In the center lies the landing site, which is surrounded by [[Pellet Posie]]s and several places to get nectar. To the north is where Blue Pikmin were originally found. This part consists of several small pools of water. To the west is a narrow path covered with fire geysers. To the south is a sandy beach where [[Fiery Blowhog]]s can be found and some bridges that need to be constructed. To the southwest lies a big lake with [[Wollywog]]s. To the southeast is a dark area with fire geysers and glowing fungi where the [[Puffstool]] can be found. And finally, to the east is the arena where [[Beady Long Legs]] is fought.

{{guide}}
After landing, grab some [[Red Pikmin|Red]] and [[Yellow Pikmin]], and head west towards the [[Onion#Blue Onion|Blue Onion]]. Before heading down to the Onion, put all of your Pikmin onto the stick that leads to the [[Automatic Gear]]. While your Pikmin collect that part, grow as many [[Blue Pikmin]] as possible using the [[Pellet Posy|pellet posies]]. The [[Breadbug]] may come and try and steal some of your pellets, to combat this, you must put as many Pikmin on the object as possible and drag the Breadbug to the Onion. This will hurt the bug. If the Breadbug is nearly dead, you can throw Pikmin onto its back and it will take damage, hopefully enough to kill it. Once it has died, it will drop the [[Space Float]]. Collect the part and head back to the landing site.
 
Once you are back, collect all your Pikmin and leave through the east side then head north. You'll see a bramble gate, destroy it and head through. continuing heading north with your Blue Pikmin and follow the path around through the water and you'll come across the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet|#1 Ionium Jet]] which you should collect. Head back to the landing site and head all the way south. You'll see multiple bridges that should be built and eventually end up up to an open plain with a handful of [[Fiery Blowhog]]s. Using Red Pikmin, dispatch of these and head to the left of the body of water to the south. Here you'll find a platform with another part on top of it. Throw some Pikmin up to the bridge and wait for them to build it. Once completed, collect the [[Gravity Jumper]] and build the other bridge on the opposite side. This bridge leads to a lot of bombs that you should collect. Head back over the bridges and disband all your Pikmin, excluding Blue, and head into the body of water. Here 2 [[Wollyhop]]s reside along with the [[Anti-Dioxin Filter]]. Kill the frogs and collect the part. While they collect the part, head back and collect the rest of your Pikmin and continue heading east.
 
You'll end up in a dark area illuminated by [[Common Glowcap]]s, and a [[Puffstool]]. This is your first mini-boss. Charge all of your Pikmin towards it until it falls over. Whistle you Pikmin and precede to throw them onto it's flailing body until it either dies or throws them off. If it doesn't die, whistle all of your Pikmin so they do not get turned into [[Mushroom Pikmin]]. Repeat this until it is defeated. Once dead, it will drop the [[Omega Stabilizer]] which you should use Red Pikmin to collect as there are some [[fire geyser]]s at the exit. Head back to the landing site to collect all of your Pikmin. Swap some Blue Pikmin for Yellow Pikmin as the next mini-boss will be easier with yellows. Head east then south from the landing site until you arrive at a black reinforced wall. Blow this up with 9 bombs and destroy the black bramble gate behind it as well. Behind the bramble gate will be some fire geysers, [[Shearwig]]s and another wall. Kill the shearwigs and blow up the wall with 3 bombs. The new area behind the wall is an arena for the [[Beady Long Legs]]. The way to beat this mini-boss is to throw Yellow Pikmin onto it's body until it dies. Watch out for it's legs as it will kill Pikmin if they are stepped on. This enemy drops the [[Guard Satellite]] which should be collected with Red Pikmin due to the fire geysers.


Head back to the landing site and withdraw/deposit Pikmin until you have 60 Red, 20 Yellow and 20 Blue. From the landing site, head south to the fiery blowhog plain and then head west. Destroy the bramble gate and continue down the path, be careful of the fire geysers. Once you have got about half way down the path, you'll come across a bridge. Put all your Yellow Pikmin on this along with ~20 Red Pikmin. Continue down the path and use your Blue Pikmin to bring the [[Analog Computer]] out of the water, then make your Red Pikmin carry it back. Head back to the bridge and wait for it to be finished if not. Once the bridge is built, use Blue Pikmin to open the [[Geyser|geyser]] in the water and throw all your Yellow Pikmin up to the higher ledge. Use the geyser and throw your Yellow Pikmin up to the [[Libra]]. When the part has fallen to the lowest level (be careful of the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Libra glitch|Libra glitch]]), swap the yellows for reds and wait until they collect the final part.

==Glitches==
{{game help|p|Clean, and move to [[Glitches in Pikmin]].}}
There is a rare glitch that can happen in in this level. When the player defeats an [[enemy]] (usually the [[Wollyhop]]), one or more [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] will vanish with no [[soul]] shown. When this happens, sometimes the first Pikmin-counter gauge (on the bottom of the [[HUD|screen]]) will show more than the total number of Pikmin in the area. For example: 98/97/305. The Pikmin gauge should stay like that until sunset. This happens in other areas, but in The Forest Navel it is more common. This [[glitch]] can also occur when battling other enemies, and apparently even when there are no enemies around. This glitch can also happen in the [[Awakening Wood]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.
 
There is also a glitch that will cause Olimar to fall into the [[Pit|abyss]] by where the Libra is. In [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], there are 3 large pellets in the very back area where the [[Analog Computer]] is in story mode. However, the path back to the [[Onion]]s is too narrow for all 3 pellets to be carried back at once. If Olimar is standing between the pellets while they are being carried, he may get pushed off the edge, along with the pellet and possibly the Pikmin carrying it. Olimar will not die or respawn when he falls into the pit; in fact, he will not even fall at all. Instead, he will "float" over the pit as if there was invisible ground. Olimar can walk very far into the darkness, but it may be hard to tell where he is going, because the screen will not follow him. It's also possible to do it in Story Mode, by attracting [[Shearwigs]] to the bridge and having them eat it. To see a video of this glitch, click [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2Km5QKffqE&NR=1 here].
 
If Olimar falls into the pit by any other means, he will simply respawn after a few seconds back in the same spot he was before he fell. The only other known way to fall into the abyss is to lure the Shearwigs by the [[Automatic Gear]] all the way to the island where the [[Libra]] is, which will cause them to start chewing the bridge.
 
There is a supposed glitch that can cause the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Beady Long Legs escape|Beady Long Legs to escape its arena]].
 
Finally, the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Libra glitch|Libra glitch]] can also happen with the [[Libra|namesake ship part]].

==Trivia==
*There is a seemingly useless geyser near the [[bomb-rock]] location by the [[Gravity Jumper]]. If the player makes the Pikmin activate it and have Olimar use it, it will launch him up far into the air and make him land on the water. This has no relevance to getting any parts, nor does it aid Olimar in any way, meaning it could be an erroneous [[Mistake|leftover]] from an [[Pikmin prerelease information|older version]] of the map.
*The map of The Forest Navel very vaguely resembles a Bulborb or Bulbear. It is unknown whether or not this is intentional.
*All ship parts whose names begin with "A" are in The Forest Navel.
*There is a {{w|Ramune}} bottle on the lake in this area. Ramune bottles also appear in [[shapetst]], and one bottle is the main focus of the second [[Pikmin Short Movies|''Pikmin'' Short Movie]], ''[[Treasure in a Bottle]]''.

There is a glitch that rarely appears in in this level. When you defeat an [[Piklopedia|enemy]] (usually the [[Wollywog]]), one or more [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] will vanish with no [[spirit]] shown. When this happens, sometimes the first Pikmin-counter gauge (on the bottom of the screen) will show more than the total number of Pikmin in the area. For example:  98/97/305.
