'''2-Player Battle''' was introduced to the [[Pikmin series]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It involves, as the name implies, two players, who control [[Captain Olimar]] and Captain [[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 Battle 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. | '''2-Player Battle''' was introduced to the [[Pikmin series]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

If somebody has 3 Yellow Marbles, the [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]] react by saying something repetitively, depending in which player has 3 Marbles. At first, the chants may be confused with a cheerful "''Hurr-ee-a!''" (Hurry up) or just a plain "''Hurr-ur-ree''" (Hurry), but note the lack of a "l" sound and it turns out that the Pikmin are actually cheering on their respective captains (Eg: ''O-ri-ma!'' (Red Pikmin), ''Ru-ou-ee!'' (Blue Pikmin)). This is due to Olimar & Louie's Japanese pronunciation being '''Orimā''' (オリマー) and '''Rūi''' (ルーイ). | If somebody has 3 Yellow Marbles, the [[Pikmin (Species)|Pikmin]] react by saying something repetitively, depending in which player has 3 Marbles.

*At one point in the development of ''Pikmin 2'', the roulette wheel contained more enemies to summon at the opponent's base. These enemies included a [[Spotty Bulbear]], an [[Antenna Beetle]], and [[Fiery Dweevil|Fiery]]/[[Caustic Dweevil|Caustic]] Dweevils. The roulette icons of these enemies remain in the game's files. | *At one point in the development of ''Pikmin 2'', the roulette wheel contained more enemies to summon at the opponent's base.
