This theme is very similar to "[[#Jellyfloat|Jellyfloat]]", with a mostly synthesized ensemble and an irregular time signature conveyed by one repeating gesture. Although the scenery of the sublevel, an underground submerged stump, does help this particular synthetic theme feel more organic. Two synthesized brass instruments are featured as the main randomized element of the piece. Both of them play in unison, one of them being detuned slightly, resulting in the chorus effect heard in-game. Interestingly, the tempo, drum kit, and tablas (along with their groove pattern) are identical to what's used in "[[#Fire|Fire]]". The shared instruments superimpose a 4/4 rhythm on the irregular gesture played by sine-waves. | This theme is very similar to "[[#Jellyfloat|Jellyfloat]]", with a mostly synthesized ensemble and an irregular time signature conveyed by one repeating gesture.

Strangely, the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]] completely lacks the trombone-like synthesizer samples, leaving the song without a main melodic element. This same issue occurs in the ''[[#Concrete 1|Concrete 1]]'' theme, which is similarly missing a major element. | |||
