'''The Shallow End''' ({{j|すいちゅうへの いざない|Suichū e no izanai|Invitation to go underwater}}) is the last main [[area]] in the [[Verdant Waterfront]]. It takes place in a lake, much like most of the Verdant Waterfront's areas, but has some [[crystal]]s with sharp edges, resembling icicles. Some of these will fall after [[Captain Olimar]] gets too close, so the player has to either outrun them or bait them into falling, to avoid having them fall on Olimar or the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

At the start, the player can call some [[Blue Pikmin]]. After this encounter, [[Olimar]] comes across a huge [[crystal]], looking like an icicle. The protagonist has to be careful with it, otherwise it will hurt Olimar or kill some Pikmin when it falls. The area is filled with those obstacles, along with lakes and stretches of water. After a long trip through a lake infested with [[Puckering Blinnow]]s and icicle-like crystals, the player can break a [[dirt block]] that is hiding a doorway leading to the first treasure, the [[Greed-o-Sphere]]. The player has to be careful with the [[Large Splurchin]] near the treasure. A small time after this, Olimar can enter a [[doorway]] placed on a bridge, however it leads nowhere. The player has to keep going in the level, dive in the lake, and take a path to the left. Then, Olimar has to avoid an icicle and a Large Splurchin in order to get to a doorway. The last treasure, the [[Conformity Enhancers]], is waiting for him on the other side. In order to retrieve the second treasure, the player has to go back to the edge of the lake (after the doorway on the bridge), and fly with their [[jetpack]] to the right. Then, the protagonist will enter a small hole, leading to the [[Twisty Pick]]. After this, the player will go through a corridor decorated with deadly icicles, and face a wall of Puckering Blinnows at the end of it. Fortunately, the exit is right behind it.

| The camera focuses on a stone. The ground begins to shake, and three Blue Pikmin pop out of the stone and start panicking. A fourth Blue Pikmin gets up slowly, but is too sleepy to care about the shaking. The rumbling eventually stops, and the scared Pikmin shake their heads and return to hiding behind the rock. The sleepy Pikmin does the same, but much slower, and still without much of a reaction.

From the start of the area head to the right while calling the first group of [[Blue Pikmin]] and avoiding the falling [[Crystal#Icicle crystal|crystal icicles]]  until falling into the first lake. Continue moving forward until encountering a group of Blue Pikmin behind a rock. After calling the group continue forward until entering another body of water. Swim forward while attacking the group of [[Puckering Blinnow]]s and breaking down the [[dirt block]] in the way until encountering an icicle in a small corridor. After the corridor is an area containing Puckering Blinnows, [[Large Splurchin]]s, and dirt blocks. Swim to the dirt block on the lower path and break it to reveal a [[doorway]] leading to an area containing another Large Splurchin alongside the [[Greed-o-Sphere]]. Swim towards the treasure while avoiding the Large Splurchin and head back into the main area to progress forward. Swim towards the other set of dirt blocks and let the Large Splurchin move away from the [[vine]] leading to another group of Blue Pikmin. From here head to the left and use the [[jetpack]] to reach a group of Blue Pikmin near a large [[Sparklium flower]]. Call the group and throw them at the large Sparklium flower in order to break it and obtain a small amount of [[Sparklium Seeds]]. After collecting the Sparklium head back to the right to regroup with the main group alongside four Blue Pikmin playing with a ball before encountering another body of water. Before entering it, use the jetpack to cross the gap in order to collect the nearby [[Twisty Pick]]. After collecting it head into the body of water and swimming to the left while calling the last group of Blue Pikmin before entering anther corridor with an icicle and a Large Splurchin leading to a doorway leading to a small room leading to the [[Conformity Enhancers]]. After collecting the treasure climb up a nearby vine in order to return to another doorway near the body of water. From here head to the right until encountering a group of crystal icicles that try to crush Olimar and the Pikmin. After the icicles is a group of Puckering Blinnows and the exit to the area.
