[[Red Bulborb]]s are the most common enemy in the ''Pikmin'' series. Its characteristics are to sleep until disturbed, then march around its territory looking for {{B|Pikmin|species}} to eat. These traits are shown in ''Smash'' by the Bulborbs in the foreground and background. There is also a {{S|pikipedia|Cloaking Burrow-nit}}, an enemy from ''Pikmin 2'', in the background. In ''Ultimate'', a group of five smaller Cloaking Burrow-nits appear instead.

In ''Pikmin 2'', the primary objective is to search for treasures to pay off a massive debt. These treasures mostly consist of pieces of everyday litter, but are considered valuable by Olimar's people, the Hocotatians. In the GameCube and Wii releases of ''Pikmin 2'', many of these treasures were real-world products such as Duracell batteries, Skippy peanut butter, and ChapStick lip balm. The soda can in the background that has the Smash symbol on it is likely a homage to these treasures and a parody of the game's product placement. However, in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3'', exposed pipes and tin cans were used as signals for the location of {{S|pikipedia|bomb rock}}s. In the original Forest of Hope itself, a similar can serves this exact function.

While the identity of the planet is never outright confirmed (hence the non-descriptive name for the stage), it is very heavily implied that it is Earth, with some cutscenes showing landmasses identical to those found in real-life, and the stage's file name in ''Brawl'' being "<tt>STGEARTH</tt>". In ''Pikmin 3'', the planet is named "PNF-404" by Koppaites; this name format is similar to naming conventions of {{s|wikipedia|exoplanet}}s or less important planets. The letters and numbers in the name are in fact a hidden reference: 404 is the HTTP status code for '''P'''age '''N'''ot '''F'''ound (or perhaps Planet Not Found in this case).
