The '''Submerged Castle''' is arguably one of the hardest and most annoying caves found in Pikmin 2. It is located in the very back of the [[Perplexing Pool]] and is submerged in water, so you are only able to bring [[Blue Pikmin]] with you; even if you figure out you can use their water-patrolling ability to carry non-blues onto land, from where you can get them under your command and enter the cave, this will '''never''' work. It has been programmed into the game that they cannot enter the cave in any way whatsoever. All types of hazards are found here, making it imperative that you command your Blue Pikmin carefully, though there are [[Bulbmin]] to be found as well. To get all 40 Bulbmin, it's best to bring a maximum of 60 Pikmin. | The '''Submerged Castle''' is arguably one of the hardest and most annoying caves found in Pikmin 2.

The worst, however, is yet to come, for the boss appears on every level, making it crucial that you complete the cave's sublevels quickly. Even more frustrating, there are three treasures on each sublevel, and the sublevels are very large. The treasures are very cheap, totaling to 690 Pokos, which makes you wonder "Why even bother?" To get to the cave, you need to defeat many [[Yellow Wollywog|Yellow Wollywogs]] and tear down the black gate near [[Glutton's Kitchen]]. After the gate is gone, you need to defeat two [[Hermit Crawmad|Hermit Crawmads]], [[Water Dumple|Water Dumples]] and a [[Withering Blowhog]]. The cave's entrance is surrounded by undrainable water, which is exactly why non-blue Pikmin can't enter: it was programmed so that the situation would make sense | The worst, however, is yet to come, for the boss appears on every level, making it crucial that you complete the cave's sublevels quickly.

The Submerged Castle has a dreary music unique to the cave. This music is very similar to the final dungeon music in another of Nintendo's popular games, Earthbound.
