The '''Cave of Pain''' is the twenty-seventh level in {{p2}}{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. This challenge has several dangerous enemies that will often drop directly on top of your squad &ndash; you'll need to remain extremely alert at all times to react to them, especially if you're aiming for a pink flower.

This challenge is very difficult. If you're aiming for a pink flower, it may take several tries; if you get a particularly bad layout, quitting and reentering the challenge to get a new one is entirely valid.

You'll likely want to send a lone leader out to trigger as many of the traps as possible. A [[Fiery Bulblax]] may drop from the sky &ndash; this is the sublevel's biggest threat, so you may wish to use the [[Volatile Dweevil]]s to weaken or kill it. Otherwise, use your sprays on it; a [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] Fiery Bulblax is no match for 50 [[Red Pikmin]].

[[The Key]] is out in the open, seemingly unguarded, but your ordeal won't end there, as [[Anode Dweevil]]s and a few more Volatile Dweevils will drop from the sky as the Pikmin attempt to carry it back. Punching the Anode Dweevils to death to avoid any Pikmin causalities is recommended. If you still have your [[ultra-spicy spray]], spraying the Pikmin that are carrying The Key back will potentially let them outpace some of them, but be cautious, nonetheless.

You're probably better off ignoring the treasures altogether, but if you want a high score, you'll need to run around and kill every enemy that drops from the ceiling, as all of them besides the Volatile Dweevils will drop treasure.
