[[File:TropicalForestOverview.jpg|250px|thumb|An overview of the Collect Treasure! version of the stage.]]
'''Tropical Forest''' ({{j|原生の社|Gensei no Sha|Primeval Forest}}) is a [[Mission Mode]] stage in {{p3}}. It is a compact stage with several small rooms, set in a forest environment with a lake in the center. The stage is playable in the Collect Treasure! and Battle Enemies! modes, and has a remixed version, [[Tropical Forest Remix]].

As the first stage in Mission Mode, it has been playable in various demo versions of ''Pikmin 3''. The Collect Treasure! version is featured in the [[Pikmin 3#Demo version|''Pikmin 3'' demo]] and the [[Pikmin 3 Deluxe#Demo|''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' demo]], and also in the demo at E3 2012, where after defeating the [[Medusal Slurker]], players were been greeted with a [[cutscene]] introducing [[Rock Pikmin]].

==Overview==
As the first map of [[Mission Mode]], this area is rather simple and small. The environment is a bit similar than that of [[Tropical Wilds]], and this map takes place in a forest, featuring lots of plants, mushrooms and vines. A lake can be found at the center of the map, right next to the starting point in Collect Treasure! mode.

===Layout===
The player starts out on a small, grassy area which surrounds the [[SPERO]]. [[Red Pikmin]] can be found in the leaves around this area. Several of the [[Cupid's Grenade]]s can also be found in this area.

As they go down the small slope in front of them, they will encounter two [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]. Several [[Spotcap]]s and a [[Kingcap]] can be removed to obtain more [[Red Pikmin]] (making for the full 25), a [[Sunseed Berry]], and a [[Golden Sunseed]]. Then they will reach a small, dirt pathway that leads up to a [[dirt wall]]. A [[Face Wrinkler]] can be found to the right on this path. After the dirt wall has been removed, players will be able to fight the [[Medusal Slurker]] to obtain [[Rock Pikmin]]. More [[Rock Pikmin]] can be found in this area under some leaves located beyond the [[Medusal Slurker]].

Using the newly-acquired Rock Pikmin, the player can now break down a nearby [[crystal]], containing another [[Sunseed Berry]]. Behind the [[Bulborb]] are more Sunseed Berries, and the [[Bulborb]] itself has swallowed several [[Cupid's Grenade]]s. A little bit more up the path is a pile of fragments which can be crafted into a [[bridge]] along with a [[nugget]] pile. However, one must be cautious of the nearby [[Skutterchuck]], which will try to kill the [[Red Pikmin]] by launching the three crystal nodules nearby. Behind the Skutterchuck is a [[crystal wall]] that can be broken only by Rock Pikmin.

Behind the crystal wall is an area covered in dirt and dry leaves. Here the player will encounter two [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]es that set anything they touch ablaze. Behind these Slooches are another couple of Sunseed Berries and [[Golden Sunseed]]s, as well as an [[Insect Condo]].

Lastly, in the opposite direction of the nugget pile is a small, enclosed area with fungus growing on the sides. Next to the entrance of the area is a group of [[Skitter Leaf|Skitter Leaves]] and another [[Face Wrinkler]]. Inside this area is a fearsome [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] that will swiftly slurp up the Pikmin with its long tongue; it can be taken out either by throwing [[Rock Pikmin]] when it's not facing the leaders or by throwing Pikmin at its eyes to distract it. Once it dies, it will cough up another [[Golden Sunseed]]. A final set of Sunseed Berries can be found behind it.

===Strategy===
{{guide}}
First, whistle all the [[Red Pikmin]] to your side and have them take the [[Cupid's Grenade]]s and [[Sunseed Berry]]. Defeat the 2 [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and take them, too. Have some Pikmin work on the [[Kingcap]] while others tear down the wall. Get the [[Face Wrinkler]] and the fruit behind the [[Kingcap]].

Once the Pikmin are done with the wall, defeat the [[Medusal Slurker]] to get [[Rock Pikmin]]. More Rock Pikmin are under some clovers. Go back to the alcove and collect the Sunseed Berry, [[Golden Sunseed]], and [[Golden Grenade]] encased in crystals. Go along the path and order some Pikmin to build the bridge while you destroy the crystal blocking a [[Bulborb]] and defeat it. It will cough up multiple Cupid's Grenades.

By now, the bridge should be finished, so have your Pikmin take back everything. Next, kill the [[Skutterchuck]] and destroy the crystal wall. Use [[Red Pikmin]] to kill the two [[Pyroclasmic Slooches]] to clear the path to bring back the fruit behind it. Next, have some Pikmin take back the Face Wrinkler and nuggets. In the last "room", there is a [[Whiptounge Bulborb]]. Defeat it, carry back its spoils, and you should've made it to Platinum.

===Terrain===
The player starts with [[Alph]] in a small alcove with the Red Onion. Outside this alcove is a group of nine planted Red Pikmin, and some pellets to help boost the Red Pikmin's population. Unlike in the Collect Treasure! mode, the player starts with these nine Pikmin '''only''' and has to build up an army from there. Following this grassy area is a split path. On the right path is a family of two [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and one [[Bulborb]]. Just beyond them is a [[crystal wall]]. Since there are no [[Rock Pikmin]] in this level, the player must use the [[bomb rock]]s in the level to clear the wall.

The left path has a few Red and Yellow Spectralids fluttering about, as well as a Swooping Snitchbug. Around this section, the player will notice the wild Baldy Long Legs traversing the area, posing a major threat to Pikmin carrying back objects, but also a benefit, as it may kill a few creatures in the process. Nearby is a geyser, which will lead to a dirt area, location of the Yellow Onion, [[Brittany]], and the nine planted [[Yellow Pikmin]]. It should be noted that the Baldy Long Legs can trespass in this area, even with it belonging to the Onion.

Outside of this Onion area are a few Spectralids and an [[egg]], which should be used to flower up the Yellow Pikmin. A vine leading downwards is also present, which will allow access back down to the Red Onion, but only if the Pikmin aren't carrying anything. To carry objects back to the Onion, the player must venture right, where they will find a area full of decaying leaves, home to a family of some [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s and [[Orange Bulborb]]s, as well as a few more Spectralids fluttering about.

Outside of that area is [[dirt wall]], directly in the path of the Baldy Long Legs. It can come and crush any Pikmin working on the wall, so, once again, bomb rocks are advised for a quick finish. Beyond the wall is another Swooping Snitchbug, who can also interfere with carrying objects back. Here is a good spot to fight the Baldy Long Legs. With a medium sized group of Pikmin, an ultra-spicy spray can be used to attack it.

After that, a few Dwarf Bulborbs can be seen, with an Orange Bulborb just beyond them. Beside the Dwarf Bulborbs is another side area, with a dirt path leading straight into a family of Skitter Leaves. Bomb rocks can make quick work of them. Going past the Orange Bulborb will bring the player back to the Red Onion.

==Trivia==
* Tropical Forest in Battle Enemies! mode is the only stage to have a crystal wall present on the field, yet no way of obtaining [[Rock Pikmin]], meaning two [[bomb rock]]s are required to destroy it.
