In ''Pikmin 2'', the holes are round, rocky mounds, with a small hole in them. On the cave entrance hole, if the cave has not been [[#Cave completion|completed]], wisps of steam will come out, and the screen will become foggy when the hole is approached. In contrast, if it has been completed, a simple red flag will be placed near the entrance. Inside a cave, the hole to a next sublevel will always contain steam, but will not fog the screen.

In ''Pikmin 4'', the holes are black tubes with colored lids – cyan for normal caves, gray for [[Dandori Challenge]]s, and orange for [[Dandori Battle]]s. They are actually Japanese {{w|curb boxes}}, which are plastic tubes that house valves. After completing that cave, a flag appears in the color of the player's spacesuit with the [[Rescue Corps]] logo. When completing [[Burrow of Beginnings]] for the first time, [[Collin]] can be seen placing one such flag down in a cutscene. In addition, some caves have multiple holes. Entering from either one is exactly the same, but when the cave is exited through an air vent the player will come out from a specific hole, usually one that allows them to access locations in the area they couldn't before.

In addition, some caves have multiple holes, where the player will enter in one side and exit on the other such as the [[Aquiferous Summit]] and the [[Engulfed Castle]]. Entering the "exit" side of the cave from the surface will slightly change the layout to allow the sublevels to be cleared in reverse order, with an air vent that takes the player back to the "entrance" hole on the first sublevel. Exiting a cave from the [[pause menu]] will take the player back to the hole they entered from.
