The Forest of Hope

The Forest of Hope was the second area in Pikmin for the Nintendo Gamecube. It became available on the second day after completing the tutorial at The Impact Site. Home to eight of Olimar's missing ship parts, The Forest of Hope was populated by many bulborbs, the iconic enemies from the Pikmin series. After finding Yellow Pikmin in the area, players could use bomb-rocks to disable the metallic barriers blocking the important roads through the forest. After Blue Pikmin were acquired from The Forest Navel, the last ship parts in the area could be obtained, although they were guarded by large and dangerous enemies.
