The '''White Flower Garden''' ({{j|白い花園|Shiroi Hanazono|White Flower Garden}}) is one of the first two caves in the [[Awakening Wood]]. It is of roughly the same difficulty as the [[Hole of Beasts]], and has five sublevels. This cave also has the next new type of Pikmin players will discover, [[White Pikmin]], which the cave was named for. The boss of this cave is the [[Burrowing Snagret]]. In this cave for the US [[Region|version]], there are {{Pokos|580}} worth of treasures. In the European version, there are {{pokos|670}} worth of treasures.
The '''White Flower Garden''' ({{j|白い花園|Shiroi Hanazono|White Flower Garden}}) is a [[cave]] in {{p2}}, and is typically the first or second accessed in the [[Awakening Wood]]. It is where [[White Pikmin]], the third type of Pikmin in the game, are discovered, with the title of the cave alluding to this. It has 5 sublevels and the last contains the cave's [[boss]], the [[Burrowing Snagret]]. In the US [[Region|version]], this cave has {{Pokos|580}} worth of treasure, in the European version, there are {{pokos|670}} worth of treasure, and in the Japanese version, there are {{pokos|520}} worth of treasure.

This cave can be reached the same way that the [[Hole of Beasts]] was reached. However, before reaching the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]], turning right will reveal a [[bag]] that requires the equivalent of 200 Pikmin to crush, so at least 11 Purple Pikmin are needed. Proceeding past it and the nearby [[Cloaking Burrow-Nit]] will lead to the cave. Defeating the Cloaking Burrow-Nit first is recommended, as the cave discovery cutscene can allow the Burrow-Nit a free shot at your squad if left unchecked.


Like the caves before it, your squad is likely limited. Bringing as many [[Purple Pikmin]] as possible, and filling the squad with [[Red Pikmin]], is the best option.

==Sublevel 3==
This sublevel is where [[White Pikmin]] are discovered. Heading down the long pathway, you will come across three [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s. (As a side note, they will not appear if your total White Pikmin count is 20 or more.) [[Throw]] 5 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] into the Ivory Candypop Buds, and each will be transformed into a White Pikmin, which are immune to poison and have the ability to excavate treasures buried completely underground. This new ability is used almost immediately, as heading down the corridor with the new White Pikmin will cause them to start digging up a hidden underground treasure, the [[Superstick Textile]].

*'''Theme''': Metal
This sublevel has no enemies except for [[Honeywisps]], and it is recommended to defeat them as they will drop [[nectar]] for your new White Pikmin. They can be found from one of two corners on a wall with a branching narrow corridor. Once you're done with the sublevel, head to the hole for the next one.

==Sublevel 4==
[[File:White Flower Garden sublevel 4.jpg|thumb|Sublevel 4.]]


This sublevel has no enemies, but has something even better to know about it: this sublevel is famous for where you first find the [[White Pikmin]]. Move down through the long pathway, and you will come across three [[Ivory Candypop Buds]]. As a side note, they will not appear if your total White Pikmin count is 20 or more.

[[Throw]] 5 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] into the Ivory Candypop Buds, and each will be transformed into a White Pikmin, which are the fastest Pikmin type, are immune to poison, and have the ability to excavate treasures buried ''completely'' underground. After obtaining the White Pikmin, go to one of two corners on a wall with a branching narrow corridor. Each one has a [[Honeywisp]], which will drop [[nectar]] after being defeated, which you should direct your White Pikmin to.
The fourth sublevel doesn't have any enemies, but it does have two treasures and a lot of poisonous gas pipes. There are two strategies you can use here.


Afterwards, [[Group move|direct]] the White Pikmin towards the narrow corridor. The White Pikmin will almost instantly start [[digging]] up the buried [[Superstick Textile]]. After you have obtained this, enter the narrow corridor; it will lead to the next sublevel's hole.
#Use the White Pikmin obtained on the previous sublevel to shut off all the poison pipes, then have the other Pikmin collect the treasures.
#Use the White Pikmin to obtain both of the treasures, while ignoring the poison pipes.


==Sublevel 4==
If one of the treasures is up on a swirled plateau, throw the Pikmin up onto the lower section of the plateau. Then head into the alcove under the plateau and whistle to the Pikmin, guiding them to the treasure via {{button|gc|c|wii|padd}}.

You should use an ultra-spicy spray in this battle, and if you have any, [[ultra-bitter spray]] is also advised.

White Flower Garden
The Ivory Candypop Buds in White Flower Garden sublevel 3.
Location Awakening Wood
Sublevels 5
Treasures 7
Hazards Fire Poison

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The White Flower Garden (白い花園?, lit.: "White Flower Garden") is a cave in Pikmin 2, and is typically the first or second accessed in the Awakening Wood. It is where White Pikmin, the third type of Pikmin in the game, are discovered, with the title of the cave alluding to this. It has 5 sublevels and the last contains the cave's boss, the Burrowing Snagret. In the US version, this cave has Poko × 580 worth of treasure, in the European version, there are Poko × 670 worth of treasure, and in the Japanese version, there are Poko × 520 worth of treasure.

How to reachEdit

 
Location of the cave.

This cave can be reached the same way that the Hole of Beasts was reached. However, before reaching the Creeping Chrysanthemum, turning right will reveal a bag that requires the equivalent of 200 Pikmin to crush, so at least 11 Purple Pikmin are needed. Proceeding past it and the nearby Cloaking Burrow-Nit will lead to the cave. Defeating the Cloaking Burrow-Nit first is recommended, as the cave discovery cutscene can allow the Burrow-Nit a free shot at your squad if left unchecked.

Like the caves before it, your squad is likely limited. Bring as many Purple Pikmin as you can, and fill the rest of your squad with Red Pikmin.

Notes

Ship's dialogs

Astounding! My metal detectors are reacting violently. What could be down below?

If you find trouble below, press START/PAUSE to contact me and press R on the radar screen.

The exploration pod will drop its loot to make room to carry you, Louie, and the Pikmin to safety.

Sublevel 1Edit

 
A map of sublevel 1; the layout is always the same.

The first sublevel is simple, and only contains one treasure. The cave theme is metallic, with a sandy floor for the most part. You will encounter some Sheargrubs when you approach the opening at the far end of the first plateau. You will encounter some more on the second plateau. The Alien Billboard (or Nutrient Silo) will be in one of the three branching corridors, and the exit hole in another corridor.

Sublevel 2Edit

 
A map of sublevel 2; the layout is usually the same.

The second sublevel features a donut-shaped plateau that has two triangular corridors branching inward and three corridors branching outwards. The Petrified Heart and Drought Ender will either be in one of the central corridors, or in one of the outer corridors. The exit hole is located either in one of the outer corridors, or the center of the room by the center corridors. You should scout the area with an army of Red Pikmin, as there are two Fiery Blowhogs patrolling the sublevel.

Sublevel 3Edit

 
A map of sublevel 3; the layout is always the same.

This sublevel is where White Pikmin are discovered. Heading down the long pathway, you will come across three Ivory Candypop Buds. (As a side note, they will not appear if your total White Pikmin count is 20 or more.) Throw 5 Pikmin into the Ivory Candypop Buds, and each will be transformed into a White Pikmin, which are immune to poison and have the ability to excavate treasures buried completely underground. This new ability is used almost immediately, as heading down the corridor with the new White Pikmin will cause them to start digging up a hidden underground treasure, the Superstick Textile.

This sublevel has no enemies except for Honeywisps, and it is recommended to defeat them as they will drop nectar for your new White Pikmin. They can be found from one of two corners on a wall with a branching narrow corridor. Once you're done with the sublevel, head to the hole for the next one.

Sublevel 4Edit

 
Sublevel 4.

The fourth sublevel doesn't have any enemies, but it does have two treasures and a lot of poisonous gas pipes. There are two strategies you can use here.

  1. Use the White Pikmin obtained on the previous sublevel to shut off all the poison pipes, then have the other Pikmin collect the treasures.
  2. Use the White Pikmin to obtain both of the treasures, while ignoring the poison pipes.

If one of the treasures is up on a swirled plateau, throw the Pikmin up onto the lower section of the plateau. Then head into the alcove under the plateau and whistle to the Pikmin, guiding them to the treasure via   /  .

The Toxic Toadstool will be partially buried.

Sublevel 5Edit

 
Sublevel 5; the layout is always the same.
See also: Burrowing Snagret strategy.

Upon entering the cave, have one leader go ahead and break the eggs on the side of the arena, and have the other leader collect a squad of Purple Pikmin. If you have less than 20 Purple Pikmin, then use Red Pikmin instead.

You should use an ultra-spicy spray in this battle, and if you have any, ultra-bitter spray is also advised. If you have ultra-spicy spray, spray your Pikmin before the Burrowing Snagret starts emerging from the ground. If you have an ultra-bitter spray, then spray the Snagret when it firsts emerges. After this, throw a steady stream of Pikmin onto the Snagret's head.

Once the Burrowing Snagret has been defeated, it will leave behind the Five-man Napsack. After collecting this, you can hold   /   to have the controlled leader take a nap. After obtaining the Five-man Napsack, go across the arena to the exit geyser.

NamingEdit

The English name "White Flower Garden" is a direct translation of the Japanese name for the cave, 白い花園?. Although in English, it is ambiguous whether it is the garden or the flowers that are white, the Japanese name makes it clear that it means "flower garden that is white", and not "garden of white flowers". This makes sense, considering that the flowers in question are the flowers atop a White Pikmin's head, which are actually colored magenta.

In earlier versions of the game, the cave was to be called "Garden of White Flowers"[1], which appears to be a mistranslation from the Japanese title.
