The Collector's Room (コレクタールーム?, lit.: "Collector Room") is the thirteenth level in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. This unusual challenge places more emphasis on quickly defeating enemies and efficiently transporting treasure, given the extremely strict time limit. With this in mind, unless setting a high score is the goal, it's often best to simply leave each floor as soon as The Key has been collected.
Sublevel 1[edit]
- Theme: Soil
- Music: Fire
- Time: 40 (80 seconds)
- Starting Pikmin:
- Treasures:
- Enemies:
- Obstacles:
- Vegetation:
- Others:
A small sublevel with various treasures scattered around. The Key is inside the Red Bulborb. If you don't care for a pink flower ranking, it is far faster to simply feed the Bulborb some of your White Pikmin. Otherwise, a good strategy is to wake it up, retreat until it loses interest in your squad, and attack it while it is falling back asleep – the animation where it falls back asleep cannot be interrupted, giving your army a few moments to wail on it unopposed.
You have so little time that you're probably better off leaving as soon as you collect The Key, but if you're feeling gutsy, there are a few treasures around to collect, including a buried Pink Menace.

Sublevel 2[edit]
- Theme: Tiles
- Music: Tile
- Time: +30 (+60 seconds)
- Treasures:

- Obstacles:
- Vegetation:
- Others:
This sublevel is essentially the same as the last one, except The Key is inside a Orange Bulborb, and the sublevel, tile themed, is slightly larger. The same method as the last sublevel applies, although keep in mind that Orange Bulborbs are much more aware of their surroundings.

Sublevel 3[edit]

- Time: +40 (+80 seconds)
- Treasures:
- Enemies:
- Obstacles:
- Vegetation:
- Others:
An immensely cramped sublevel. If you're going for a pink flower, you may wish to simply use a bitter spray on the Red Bulborb – the sublevel is so small that, once it awakens, almost the entire sublevel is within its territory radius.
