Forgotten Cove is a Mission Mode stage in Pikmin 3. It is a beach-like area that is based on The Forest Navel, the third area in the original Pikmin game. The Forest Navel is the only area from Pikmin 1 not to have a revamped version in Pikmin 2, whether this stage's remixed layout is an intentional reference to Pikmin 2's revamped layouts or not is unknown. Louie can be found within a Medusal Slurker, and once rescued, he can be used as a third leader. The stage is playable in the Collect Treasure! and Battle Enemies! modes. In the original Pikmin 3, it was released as downloadable content on December 2nd, 2013, while in Pikmin 3 Deluxe, it is part of the base game and can be unlocked in each of the 2 modes by completing the first 10 stages in that mode.

Trivia
- To strengthen the map's connection to The Forest Navel, several references to the original map are apparent. The area where Beady Long Legs would have been fought is replaced with Baldy Long Legs, and the Blue Onion is in the same location as the original. Despite these similarities, this area is drastically different from The Forest Navel, as well as being considered non-canon for its exclusivity to Mission Mode.
