'''2-Player Mode''' was introduced to the [[Pikmin series]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It involves, as the name implies, two players, who control [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]], in control of up to 50 of each [[Red Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] respectively. Each player can start the match with a multiple of 5 Pikmin between 5 and 50, and cannot exceed 50 total Pikmin on the battlefield at any time. 2-Player Mode takes place in underground areas, their layouts randomly generated. Each player has an appropriate [[Onion]], near which a similarly-colored marble lies at the start of the game. There are four ways to win (see below) and ten differently-themed areas to play on, ranging in difficulty. Returning a [[Cupid's Grenade|cherry]] to your Onion will allow you a spin of the roulette wheel. To make things even, [[Red Pikmin]] have lost their extra strength.

===Wasting opponent's [[Sprays]]===
===Wasting opponent's [[Sprays]]===


Sprays are a essential part of battle mode, as they can turn the tides in a Pikmin vs. Pikmin situation easily. Using a small squad, attacking the enemy might get the other player to use sprays prematurely. This can be repeated with the rest of the Pikmin.

This one often requires a bit of luck as it relies almost entirely on random generation. The cherries that allow you to use a roulette spin will oftentimes drop steadily in the same area of the arena over time (usually in one of the alcoves.) Take note of where cherries seem to drop more during the match, then keep Pikmin in that area to quickly transport them back to the onion. You can actually hold up to five spins at a time. Use the spins strategically or all at once in hopes that you'll drop lots of enemies and obstacles to keep your opponent busy. Large-scale distractions like this can help you steal marbles without them noticing or even a [[Pikmin Extinction]] if your opponent is careless enough.
