It contains 15 surface treasures, 74 cave treasures, 8 rescues (5 Castaways and 3 Leaflings), and 3 [[Onion]]s. There are 7 caves in total, with one being a [[Dandori Battle]] cave and three being [[Dandori Challenge]] caves. This area has {{sparklium|p4|7,750}} worth of treasure, of which {{sparklium|p4|2,580}} is above ground.

== Layout ==
{{game help|p4|Describe the layout of the area and its key sections.}}
{{stub|section=y}}
The following notable features can be found in this area.
* As part of the playable terrain:
** Several clumps of [[Sticky mold]] can be found as well as 
** [[Mud]] both shallow and deep is used a lot here  
** The terrain is mainly made up of dirt and grass 
** Several ledges and cliffs in portions of rock-like textures


=== Bases ===
* The Sylvan Gate: the default landing sites
* The Autumnal Gully: guarded by a [[Baldy Long Legs]]
* The Maple Bridge: guarded by eggs containing [[Mitites]]

== Caves ==
* [[The Mud Pit]]
* [[Subterranean Swarm]]
* [[Cavern for a King]]

=== Dandori Challenge 1 ===
This Dandori Challenge can be accessed by building the large clay bridge near The Maple Bridge base, and jumping up to the elevated entrance with Oatchi. Building the climbing wall near the [[Puffstool]] area can help you reach the area, but Oatchi is still needed and cannot access the area through this method.

=== Dandori Challenge 2 ===
This Dandori Challenge is across a shallow [[mud]] puddle near The Autumnal Gully base. It can also be accessed through a tunnel on the other side of the map, if the map is instead traversed clockwise.

=== Dandori Challenge 3 ===
This Dandori Challenge must be accessed by pushing a [[Cardboard Box]] down in the [[Beckoning Mannequin]] area, past the dirt wall near The Autumnal Gully base. To do this, [[White Pikmin]] are needed to destroy the [[poison]] geysers. Destroying them will guide the Pikmin toward the box, and they will lock on automatically. If you do not throw enough White Pikmin (10) to push down the box, you can throw Pikmin from the other side of the wall once the poison has been eliminated. From there, Oatchi is needed to jump up the slopes to the cave's entrance across the box.

=== Dandori Battle ===
The area's Dandori Battle cave, [[Final Battle]], is located in the northeastern part of the map. It can be accessed by using [[Oatchi]]'s charge to grow [[Potted Mushrooms]]. His jump is then needed to cross the mushrooms and access the ledge with [[Louie]], [[Moss]], and [[Nelle]].
