The Overworld is a rainforest with stereotypical high amounts of rainfall and a constant overcast sky. The thin canopy is primarily composed of indigenous [[Guide Stem]]s and [[Red Starburst]]s, the respective bioluminescence and color of which lend some variety to an otherwise monochromatic overhang. The Overworld floor boasts lush foliage, including exotic, radioactive lichen,<ref>{{cite|This lichen seems to be giving off low levels of radioation.

The tendency of native plantforms to adapt quickly to changes in geography evidence their hardy nature, as is illustrated by the permeation of foliage in the Crashed Frigate.

Local topography is craggy and overgrown, and includes bracken-filled caverns and groves, ancient ruins and [[Half Pipe]]s evidencing [[Chozo]] colonization, and various water features including falls and lagoons.
