Stagnant Sea

Gameplay screenshot.

Stagnant Sea (天地創造の小川^?, lit.: "Brook of Creation") is the 2^nd stage of Pikmin 3 's Bingo Battle. It seems to take place in some sort of marsh. This is the first stage to have water, which covers ~50% of the area. The main path to the opponent's side is either blocked by enemies, dirt walls or both, making it a little difficult for either player to reach their opponent. Grub-dogs litter the fields and some aquatic enemies make the water bodies dangerous to traverse too. It is possible to get Red Pikmin, Blue Pikmin, and Rock Pikmin in this stage.

Overview

The Stagnant Sea seems to take place in a marsh like area, with various man-made objects littered about both in and out of the playable area. There are three main land masses, with two of them housing each of the player's Onions. These are separated by water but are connected by two bridges and a wooden plank that acts as a bridge. The map is very symmetrical with only aesthetics and decorations being the differences. In all 3 layouts, the main similarity is the presence of members of the grub-dog family, either being Bulborbs, and their varieties, or Water Dumples. Yellow Wollywogs also appear in each layout along with their larval form, the Wogpole. In the water at each side of the map is a discarded, muddied boot, either standing or laying on its side. The presence of these, along with tires, cones and metal poles, suggests that this stage takes place near or in civilization, which is a common theme within the Bingo Battle maps.
