{{update|Update with information regarding the [[5 day run]].}}
An '''Emergence Cave challenge''' is a challenge where a player repays the debt in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' using the [[Emergence Cave]] as a primary source of money, and without entering any other area in the game. Because [[Enemy|enemies]] in caves respawn and are worth a small amount of [[Poko]]s, it is possible to eventually complete the game using just the first cave.

In a normal playthrough, the [[Courage Reactor]] must be collected on [[day]] 1 before the game can proceed, but by causing an extinction on day 1 due to a [[Glitches in Pikmin 2|glitch]], even that treasure can be skipped. The rest of the run depends on repeatedly harvesting the 11 [[Snow Bulborb]]s, for {{pokos|2}} each, resulting in at least 413 run-throughs of the cave if the [[Utter Scrap]], [[Citrus Lump]], [[Quenching Emblem]], and [[Spherical Atlas]] are collected as well.

With this, it is possible to unlock the Wistful Wild at the same time the [[Perplexing Pool]] is unlocked. The area selection screen will only unlock the Wistful Wild when it unlocks the Perplexing Pool, meaning that the [[Geographic Projection]] must be collected before the Wistful Wild can be entered. If the Spherical Atlas is collected in the same trip that the debt is repaid, the [[cutscene]] where the ship announces that they must head to the new area plays first, and the cutscene for the debt completion plays right afterwards, still on the same day.
