In both ''{{B|Pikmin|game}}'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Captain Olimar's adventures took place on a mysterious unknown world. Specifically, this stage is most likely based on {{S|pikipedia|The Forest of Hope}} and the {{S|pikipedia|Awakening Wood}} from ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', respectively.
The main series ''Pikmin'' games primarily take place on a mysterious unknown planet. Specifically, this stage is most likely based on {{S|pikipedia|The Forest of Hope}} and the {{S|pikipedia|Awakening Wood}} from ''{{B|Pikmin|game}}'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', respectively.


In order to create more Pikmin, Olimar must find {{s|pikipedia|Pellet Posies}}, harvest their {{s|pikipedia|Pellet}}s, and return them to an {{s|pikipedia|Onion}}. The number on the Pellet indicates how many Pikmin will be spawned; returning it to an Onion of the same color produces more Pikmin than one of a different color. Harvesting Pellets works similarly in this stage; larger numbers create more items, and matching colors add even more.
In order to create more Pikmin, Captains must find {{s|pikipedia|Pellet}}s and return them to an {{s|pikipedia|Onion}}. Pellets are primarily harvested from {{s|pikipedia|Pellet Posies}}, though they may also be dropped by certain creatures when defeated, or be found simply lying around in an area. The number on a Pellet indicates the minimum amount of Pikmin needed to carry it. The number in most cases also indicates how many Pikmin it will spawn when returned to an Onion of the same color; the only exception is a 1 pellet, which spawns two Pikmin instead. Returning a Pellet to an Onion with a nonmatching color produces roughly half the number of Pikmin it would have otherwise. Harvesting Pellets works similarly in this stage; larger numbers create more items, and matching colors add even more.


[[Red Bulborb]]s are the most common enemy in the ''Pikmin'' [[Pikmin (series)|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}}, another enemy in the Pikmin games, 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. The soda can in the background that has the Smash symbol on it is likely a homage to these treasures. However, in ''Pikmin'', 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.
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).

*The AI in ''Brawl'' does not recognize the Bulborb's gaping mouth as a hazard and will treat it like any other ledge, meaning a CPU player will often try to recover into it, causing a [[self-destruct]] after climbing up the ledge. This behavior bug occurs on all CPU difficulties, and was fixed in ''Smash 4''.
