The Mud Pit is a cave in the Primordial Thicket in Pikmin 4. As its name implies, it has a large amount of mud which make traversing the cave tricky, especially when combined with the bottomless swamps that not even Blue Pikmin can swim through. Winged Pikmin are helpful here thanks to their ability to fly over most of the mud. At the bottom is an encounter with a Bug-Eyed Crawmad. This cave has  × 960 worth of treasure.

Notes

Louie's Voyage Log

“Got stuck in the bottomless swamp. Some parts of it were pitch-black. And now I'm covered in mud. Reminded me of the mountain behind Nana's house.”

Unlike prior sublevels, the mud on this floor only requires 30 Ice Pikmin to freeze. Freezing the floor has a useful benefit: the cave's boss, Bug-Eyed Crawmad will not come out of its hole while the floor is frozen, allowing you to deal with the Hermit Crawmads first - the Bug-Eyed Crawmad can also be permanently frozen via this method after emerging from its hole, essentially skipping the fight. The Life Station, however, cannot be moved while the floor is frozen.
