Also, this planet experiences frequent torrential downpours. When things get wet, the left edge of the hill will have water sliding down, dragging players off the stage. The edge of the hill can still be grabbed during the rain effect. A [[Red Bulborb]] sometimes appears on the right side of the area; landing in its mouth will cause it to swallow the player. If this happens in ''Brawl'' or ''Smash 4'', the Bulborb will drag the player off the stage, which counts as a [[self-destruct]] (unless the player is launched by a foe). In ''Ultimate'', the Bulborb's bite causes an [[instant KO]] instead. While landing in the mouth will result in being eaten, players can grab the ledge of the Bulborb's mouth like any other ledge and walljump against the vertical part of his mouth. Furthermore, if the player is under the effect of a [[Starman]], the Bulborb will not eat the player [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XWwqexZ3gY&NR=1 ]. Sometimes the Bulborb will cry out or yawn, or stand with its mouth gaping open. The Bulborb will wander on and off screen throughout the match. Furthermore, standing on top of the Bulborb for too long is dangerous, as the Bulborb can walk off the stage or eat characters on top, with both causing a self-destruct. The Bulborb can also eat defeated players in [[Stamina Mode]] in at least ''Brawl'' and ''for 3DS''.

*Pellets, Onions, and the Red Bulborb do not appear.

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.

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.

[[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.

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"; 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).

*In ''Ultimate'', the following [[Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]] cannot appear on this stage: the [[Moon]], [[Kapp'n]], [[Devil]] and the [[Squid Sisters]]. Additionally, the following [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon cannot be summoned: [[Electrode]], [[Goldeen]], [[Moltres]], [[Kyogre]], [[Palkia]], [[Giratina]], [[Darkrai]], [[Arceus]], [[Zoroark]], [[Kyurem]], [[Chespin]], [[Fennekin]], [[Dedenne]], and [[Xerneas]].
