The Forest Navel
The Forest Navel is the third level in the first Pikmin game. The entire area is underground and is accessed by a hole in a vast clearing of the forest. From high altitude it looks like a belly button, hence its name. This area is where you will meet Blue Pikmin for the first time. Nine pieces of Captain Olimar's ship, the Dolphin can be found in the area, as well as many new enemies. it is also the valley of repose.

Counter glitch
There is a glitch that rarely appears in in this level. When you defeat an enemy (usually the Wollywog), one or more Pikmin will vanish with no spirit shown. When this happens, sometimes the first Pikmin-counter gauge (on the bottom of the screen) will show more than the total number of Pikmin in the area. For example: 98/97/305. The Pikmin guage should stay like that until sunset. This happens in other areas, too. But The Forest Navel is more common. This glitch can also occur when battling other enemies, and apparently even when there are no enemies around.
