A snowman in the Valley of Repose
The Valley of Repose is an area in Pikmin 2. It is a snowy area that harbors little amounts of flora aboveground, but some plants could be found in the dungeons. This is the first area of the game and represents the Winter season. You will also catch up with a group of Red Pikmin in this level and start collecting treasures. This area was originally the Forest Navel.
When the rocket first lands here, it hits a tree branch on the way down, but lands safely. A closer look, however, reveals that Louie fell out of the cockpit. This part of the game acts as a tutorial, but after the first two days, it acts like all other levels.
