Fortress of Festivity

The captains sliding down the ribbon that runs around a decorated tree in the Fortress of Festivity.

Fortress of Festivity is the first map included in the 3rd round of Downloadable Content for Pikmin 3. It was announced in the November 13, 2013 Nintendo Direct and was released on December 2nd, 2013 for free along with an update.

Because this DLC was launched on December, this stage is Christmas-themed, taking place on a table within an empty house, the table being covered in various festive decorations, fruits, plates, silverware, various food items, and candles. There is even a small Christmas tree situated next to the table with a spiraling ribbon attached to it, which the Pikmin can slide down.

The only enemy who resides here in Collect treasure! is a Bug-Eyed Crawmad, which is hiding in a small pizza box at the end of a long, but linear obstacle puzzle. This challenge mode level, along with the four that follow, has a song playing that is different from the track that is heard in the previous ten stages.
