==Key sections / Segments==
This section should explain the different sections of the area, including cardinal direction references. For example: "To the north, there is a large circular arena accessible at a higher ground level. The [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] here guards the [[Radiation Canopy]], which resides on a small alcove in the arena." Have each zone be a faux section (e.g. use <code><nowiki>;Section name:</nowiki></code> at the start), and in the case of ''Pikmin 3'', there should be at least one faux section for every sub-area (i.e. when there's a circle in/out transition between sub-areas), explaining the concept of sub-areas as well.
This section should explain the different sections of the area, including cardinal direction references. For ''Pikmin 3'', this lists all [[segment]]s, but for the other games, it's a subjective list of area divisions. For example: "To the north, there is a large circular arena accessible at a higher ground level. The [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] here guards the [[Radiation Canopy]], which resides on a small alcove in the arena." Each item in this list should be a faux section (e.g. use <code><nowiki>;Section name:</nowiki></code> at the start). In the case of ''Pikmin 3'', this section should say it lists all segments, linking to the [[segment]] article.

The gallery should contain some screenshots showing most of the points of interest and notable sections in the area, as well as link to a category containing more images of the level, by use of the template {{tem|see more}} below the gallery. The gallery should also include the map shown on the infobox, because users that are not running Javascript won't be able to open the map using the infobox.
