Editing Tropical Forest

[[File:TropicalForestOverview.jpg|250px|thumb|An overview of the Collect treasure! version of the stage.]]

'''Tropical Forest''' is the first stage in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'s'' [[Mission Mode]]. It is a small, enclosed space with terrain similar to that of [[The Impact Site]] from the first ''Pikmin'' game. A [[Tropical Forest Remix |remixed version]] of Tropical Forest for Collect treasure! mode was released in the October 1st, 2013 DLC. It is a forest based map, with a few water puddles here and there.

===Terrain===

The player starts out on a small, grassy area which surrounds the spaceship pod. [[Red Pikmin]] can be found in the leaves around this area. Several of the [[Cupid's Grenade]] item can be found in this area. The Climbing Stick used to obtain the Nugget pile is also behind the player at the start of the level, allowing players to gain some quick funds.

As they go down the small slope in front of them, they will encounter two [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]. Several [[Obstacles#Flora|Spotcaps]] and a [[Obstacles#Flora|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 [[Citrus Lump]] 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 Nodule, containing another [[Sunseed Berry]]. Behind the [[Red Bulborb]] are more Sunseed Berries, and the [[Red 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 and a Nugget pile. However, one must be cautious of the nearby [[Skutterchuck]], which will try to kill your [[Red Pikmin]] by launching the 3 small 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 so be careful. Behind these Slooches are another couple of Sunseed and [[Golden Sunseed]]s, as well as an [[Insect Condo]].

The player starts with [[Alph]] in a small alcove with the Red Onion. Outside this alcove is a group of 9 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 9 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 2 Dwarf Bulborbs 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 rocks 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 area, 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 9 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 is 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 Bulborbs and Orange Bulborbs, 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, use a Spicy Spray 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.
