'''2-Player Battle''' is a game mode in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It involves, as the name implies, two players, who control [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]], with a party of up to 50 [[Red Pikmin|Red]] or [[Blue Pikmin]], respectively. Each player can start the match with a multiple of 5 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] between 5 and 50, and cannot exceed 50 total Pikmin on the battlefield at any time. 2-Player Battle mode takes place in underground areas, their layouts [[Randomness|random]]ly picked from a list. Each player has a related [[Onion]], near which a similarly-colored marble lies at the start of the game. There are four [[#Ways to win|ways to win]] and ten differently-themed areas to play on, ranging in difficulty. | '''2-Player Battle''' is a game mode in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

Returning a [[Cupid's Grenade|cherry]] to an Onion will allow a spin of the [[#Roulette wheel|roulette wheel]]. To make things even, [[Red Pikmin]] have lost their extra strength, and bodies of water are absent. However, both colors are still immune to their respective elements. If a Pikmin dies from an attack caused by the other team's Pikmin, it will be transformed into a seed, which is expelled from the Onion right away. Regardless, if said Pikmin is the last one alive, a [[Pikmin extinction]] will still occur.

[[Ultra-bitter spray]]s, when used against the opponent's Pikmin, will burrow them, and revert them to [[Maturity|leaf state]]. However, they'll pop out of the ground automatically after 10 seconds. Leaders cannot [[punch]] each other or opposing Pikmin, nor can they interact with the enemy's Pikmin, besides being attacked by them. These attacks merely deny the respective player the use of {{button|gcn|A|wii|A}} and {{button|gcn|B|wii|B}}, as they cause no damage to the leader. | ||
