Downpour Thicket is the third main area in the Leafswirl Lagoon. This stage features clovers that provide cover for the droplets of dew that fall from the sky. If one lands on a Pikmin or Captain Olimar, it won't cause them harm, but will knock them back a bit, which could be a problem during combat, or when the player is trying to use the jetpack to travel between clovers. Some sections of the area take place away from the droplets though, like under an overhang or underwater.

Cutscenes

Cutscene	Screenshot	Trigger	Description
Yellow Wollywog		The player advances a bit past the first Sparklium flower.	Two Blue Pikmin move up, and the one in front grabs a small, lone Sparklium Seed on the ground. Right as it does, a Young Yellow Wollywog jumps right next to it. The Pikmin looks at the creature, curious, until a Yellow Wollywog jumps behind the young one, with a massive thud. This startles the two Pikmin, causing them to run off to Olimar. The two amphitubers then turn around and go away.
Branch		The player enters the doorway to the right of the first Eye-Stalker Bulbeel and then swims up a bit.	The camera focuses on a branch. Two Blue Pikmin stems pop out from behind it: one below, one above. They tuck back down, and then, the two swap places, showing the first stem now above, and the second below. They tuck down again, and show up on top, running around the branch happily. They run lengthwise, but also start getting closer to the sides of the branch, causing them to fall. Two other Blue Pikmin also show up and follow the same path.
Frame		The player enters the doorway above the Nostalgic Buckler and advances forward a bit.	Two Blue Pikmin are near a frame that's half buried into the ground. On the other side of the frame, parallel to these Pikmin and mirroring their movements, are two other Blue Pikmin. While the rightmost Pikmin are looking at one another, the other two aren't entirely sure if this is a mirror or not, so they wave hands at their counterpart, and bounce a couple of times across the scene, both in sync. When they stop, one of them screams, scaring the other and making it fall backwards to the ground. It quickly gets up as all four Pikmin look in Olimar's direction.
