The '''Green Hole''' ({{j|グリーンホール|Gurīn hōru|Green Hole}}) is the fifth level in {{p2}}{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], and is automatically unlocked with the mode. A noticeable step up in difficulty compared to the levels preceding it, it contains various types of Bulborbs, including two [[Bulbmin]] on the first sublevel.

Be on guard as the level begins; in all likelihood, you'll immediately be assailed by two [[Bulbmin]]. Don't waste your [[ultra-bitter spray]] on them &ndash; it's much better used on the [[Fiery Bulblax]] in the next sublevel. Attacking the Bulbmin from behind should be effective provided you catch them off-guard. If you're going for a pink flower, consider [[punch]]ing them to death to keep the Pikmin out of harm's way.

[[The Key]] is out in the open, but you'll likely have to defeat both adult Bulbmin before it can safely be carried back. The 20 Bulbmin you'll gain from this are extremely useful on the next sublevel &ndash; make sure you defeat both adult Bulbmin before you leave.

There are numerous [[egg]]s here. Break all of them before you leave as well &ndash; you'll be able to flower your army from the nectar, and if you're lucky, you might even get an extra spray or two to take into the next sublevel, making the next battle much easier.

{{see also|Fiery Bulblax#Strategy|t1=Fiery Bulblax strategy}}

This floor has a handful of various types of [[Breadbug family|Dwarf Bulborbs]], as well as a [[Fiery Bulblax]] &ndash; the sublevel's biggest threat, which also has The Key. Kill the various Dwarf Bulborbs first to ensure they don't interfere with the battle. If you still have your ultra-bitter spray, hit the Fiery Bulblax with it, spray [[ultra-spicy spray]] on your [[Red Pikmin]] and Bulbmin, and attack.

If you want to go for a high score, you'll need to kill every Dwarf Bulborb variant, as each one drops a treasure. The other two treasures on the sublevel are simply out in the open.

== Trivia ==
* The Dwarf Bulborb variants on the second sublevel drop marbles correlating with their color. While the Dwarf Red Bulborb carries a red marble, the Dwarf Orange Bulborb and Snow Bulborb will drop a blue and yellow marble respectively; these two enemies were [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information#Early bulborbs|originally intended to be blue and yellow Bulborbs]], according to their internal names, making this oddity a potential holdover from early in {{p2}}'s development.
