Gameplay footage
This area remember a little the First Stage (Impact Site) and Forest Hope too. The only way to be played is by replacing files method, so that's because the objects and music stays of the first level. Pikmin's haven't been configured on this stage, so that's because they're confused to take the pellets and other stuff to the Dolphin's Space Ship. <youtube>kl0pagZp6r4</youtube>

Geography
It have multi-ways, lots of ledges and wooden platforms. There is a big fog in the background (similar to other beta levels). The ledges are similar from Impact Site and Forest Hope. The grass is actually taken from Forest Hope, but a little more darker... There is no way to climb the huge wooden log on the beginning, the only way is when you start the stage (when Dolphin Spaceship lands into it)...
