The '''Secret Testing Range''' is the twenty-fifth level in {{p2}}{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. There are two sublevels, each involving creatures that have weapons as appendages, including a boss encounter with the [[Man-at-Legs]].


The '''Secret Testing Range''' is one of the thirty levels in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. There are two sublevels and each level involves creatures that have weapons as appendages.
==Sublevel 1==

==Sublevel 1==
This level is a little hard, but the secret to the easy killing of a [[Gatling Groink]] is to bring all of your [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], make the [[Purple Pikmin]] be up front and hit its backside. Or you can leave the Pikmin with [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] or [[Louie]], be the opposite one and make the two Gatling Groinks come close to each other; then go underneath them, running back and forth when the Gatling Groink's life circles are yellow or red.

This level is a little hard, but the secret to the easy killing of a [[Gatling Groink]] is to bring all of your [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and make the [[purple Pikmin]] be up front and hit its backside. Or you can leave the Pikmin with [[Olimar]] or [[Louie]], be the opposite one and make the two [[Gatling Groinks]] come close to each other; then go underneath them, running back and forth when the [[Gatling Groink]]'s life circle is yellow or red.  
This floor is very hard. Note you can lure the Man-at-Legs out of the water to make use of all of your Pikmin.


==Sublevel 2==
One useful technique (as depicted in the linked video below) is to stand close to the Man-at-Legs, just outside the circular ridge that the creature starts on.  Position your Pikmin behind the ridge, in the water.  If done correctly, the Man-at-Legs laser will target you, but its shots will hit the top of the ridge and do zero damage to your captain and your Pikmin.
*'''Theme''': Metal
*'''Time''': +150 (+300 seconds)
*'''Enemies''':
**1 [[Man-at-Legs]]
*'''Hazards''':
**2 [[Hazard#Fire|fire geysers]]
**2 [[Hazard#Poison gas|gas pipes]]
**2 [[Hazard#Electricity|electrical wires]]
*'''Treasures''':
**[[The Key]] (inside the Man-at-Legs)
**[[Remembered Old Buddy]]
**[[Fond Gyro Block]]
**[[Lost Gyro Block]]
**[[Favorite Gyro Block]]
**[[Memorable Gyro Block]]
*'''Plants''':
**3 red [[Glowstem]]s
**3 green [[Glowstem]]s
*'''Others''':
**1 [[egg]] (in a dead end)
