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 {{date|1|October|2013}} [[downloadable content]] pack. 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 [[SPERO]]. [[Red Pikmin]] can be found in the leaves around this area. Several of the [[Cupid's Grenade]]s can be found in this area.

Using the newly-acquired [[Rock Pikmin]], the player can now break down a nearby crystal, 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 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 so be careful. 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 Leaves and another [[Citrus Lump]]. Inside this area is a fearsome [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] that will swiftly slurp up your Pikmin with its long tongue, so be sure to take it out either by throwing [[Rock Pikmin]] when it's not facing you 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.

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 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 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 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.
