Back-and-Forth Road is the fourth main area in Hey! Pikmin. This area features several iron blocks, and most of them need to be pushed in non-trivial ways, including pushing them in the opposite direction as expected, pushing them only partially to reach hidden areas, and needing several Pikmin to drag a large block.

Cutscene	Screenshot	Trigger	Description
Male Sheargrub		The player enters the first doorway in the area, with at least four Pikmin.	Olimar and four of his Red Pikmin approach a rock in the tunnel that is shaking. Two of the Pikmin lift the rock, one on each end, and once they figure out what was causing the rumbling, a Male Sheargrub digging out of the ground, they become startled and quickly drop the rock down. This kills the creature, as proven by its spirit. The two Pikmin look at Olimar, who shakes his head, and the group rushes on forward.
Yellow Spectralid		The player explores a bit after the room with vines and female Shooting Spiners.	Olimar and his Pikmin notice something up ahead. Four of the Red Pikmin step forward and start jumping in place, happy to see a Yellow Spectralid. The creature flies right, and the Pikmin chase after it. Olimar sighs and shakes his head, after having failed to stop them. Following this, the wayward Pikmin eventually return and everybody regroups.
Horn		The player proceeds past the room with three levels and two doorways.	Three Yellow Pikmin are inside the tubes of a bulb horn, one on each tube. A fourth Yellow Pikmin is behind the bulb. This last Pikmin jumps on the bulb itself, causing the other Pikmin to jump out of their tubes, startled. They land flat on the ground, but quickly get up. All four of them then head towards Olimar.
