 Caves often tend to include more purposely synthetic-sounding instruments, since the landscape is likewise more unfamiliar than general [[area]] terrain. Although instruments in cave themes may sound like a particular natural instrument, there are timbres that distinguish this instrument as synthesized. For example, the main instrument here mimics a trombone, but still has enough differences in attack and cutoff to be an independent sound. It should also be noted that the same tabla groove from "[[#Fire|Fire]]" is used here, but it is now an electronic sound. The bass tabla from the aforementioned song has been replaced by the same bass sound used in ''[[#Emergence Cave 2|Emergence Cave 2]]''.
+Strangely, the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]] completely lacks the samples for the lead synthesizer, leaving the song without a main melodic element. This same issue occurs with the ''[[#Flooded Stump|Flooded Stump]]'' theme, which similarly is missing a main instrument.

-<nowiki>*</nowiki>Bizarrely, in the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch]] version of ''Pikmin 2'', the samples for this song's lead instrument are missing. Because this synthesizer is also used for the melody of the ''[[#Flooded Stump|Flooded Stump]]'' theme, both songs are now lacking their main melodic element.
