This track is taken directly from the Pikmin 3, where it plays in the Garden of Hope area. Similar to area themes from previous Pikmin games, the area music adapts depending on events happening during gameplay, like the near sunset variation or a different theme for raining/snowing weather, plus added instrumentation while fighting enemies, Pikmin performing tasks or carrying any object. Uniquely to Garden of Hope, a different theme will play in the morning and in the afternoon, while in other areas the morning and afternoon share the same theme, they are just separated by a jingle at noon. The version in Smash is the afternoon theme with no other variations added.
