'''The Forest Navel''' ({{j|樹海のヘソ|Jukai no heso|Forest Navel}}) is the third [[area]] in {{p1}}. It is set in a cave with sandy terrain, winding paths, and rock structures called rimstone dams. It contains 9 [[ship part]]s, and is unlocked by collecting 5 ship parts in the previous areas. [[Blue Pikmin]] are discovered in this area. The [[Enemy|enemies]] in this area reflect its dark underground nature, with [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, [[Wollywog]]s, and a unique boss, the [[Puffstool]]. This area was not reused in {{p2}}, though it was remade in {{p3}} as a [[Mission Mode]] stage, the [[Forgotten Cove]].

*According to [[Captain Olimar]], the entrance to The Forest Navel looks like a belly button from high altitude, hence its name.
*There is a seemingly useless geyser near the [[bomb-rock]] location by the [[Gravity Jumper]]. If the player makes the Pikmin activate it and have Olimar use it, it will launch him up far into the air and make him land on the water. This has no relevance to getting any parts, nor does it aid Olimar in any way, meaning it could be an erroneous [[Mistake|leftover]] from an [[Pikmin prerelease information|older version]] of the map.

*The map of The Forest Navel very vaguely resembles a Bulborb or Bulbear. It is unknown whether or not this is intentional.
