The cave starts off with the first sublevel having a snowy cave appearance, much like the Frontier Cavern. However, this is the only sublevel in the cave to take on this appearance.
 
Start by destroying the poison pipes, and defeating some [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]s if they happen to be an annoyance. There are two treasures in this level: the [[Nouveau Table]], which should be buried, and the [[Exhausted Superstick]]. The [[Snow Bulborb]]s and [[Hairy Bulborb]]s can then be dealt with, preferably using [[Purple Pikmin]].

The snow and poison have vanished here. Pikmin might fall off the floor when [[throw]]n; as such, extra care should also be taken when attempting to activate the hole to the next sublevel.
 
The main focus on this level is on the various [[bomb-rock]]s. You should [[dismiss]] the Pikmin, and set off all bomb-rocks you can find. The [[Careening Dirigibug]]s will be armed by now, but this will not be as troublesome as the bomb-rocks that were on the ground.
 
The enemies should now be attacked one by one. The [[Swooping Snitchbug]] here has a high tendency to throw Pikmin in the gaps that are between the larger expanses. This still doesn't make it as big of a threat as the Dirigibugs, but it still shouldn't be completely ignored. The treasures here are the [[Spirit Flogger]] and the [[Network Mainbrain]].

This level has three [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e, along with multiple [[fire geyser]]s. When taking them down, make sure the beetles aren't facing the [[Pit|void]], or else your Pikmin will be tossed into it. Once the threats are cleared, the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]] can be used to make [[White Pikmin]] if desired. Note that because of the way sublevels are generated, the Ivory Candypop Bud might not appear. Treasures here are the [[Superstrong Stabilizer]], the [[Omega Flywheel]] and the [[Coiled Launcher]].

This is a typical [[rest sublevel]]. The only objects worth mentioning are [[egg]]s, [[Candypop Bud]]s and a [[geyser]], which can be used to get to the surface. There are three Ivory Candypops that can produce White Pikmin.

Here, it is advisable to dismiss the Pikmin into the corner behind the pod and to take a leader. The main objective now is to make all the bomb-rocks and [[Volatile Dweevil]]s that spawn from the ceiling fall; you want them to fall now instead of later, when the Pikmin are busy. Every bomb that is in sight should be set off as well. Once everything is cleared, Whites should be used to collect the [[Mystical Disc]] and the [[Adamantine Girdle]]. More [[Dweevil family|Dweevils]] and [[bomb-rocks]] will fall when the Pikmin carry the treasures. Note that, although rare, it is possible for a bomb rock to fall near the starting location.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/BetterStrangeKathyJonCarnage|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|14|August|2018}}|retrieved={{date|17|August|2018}}}}

Many enemies spawn close to each other in this level, and consist of [[Careening Dirigibug]]s, [[Dweevil]]s and some [[Anode Beetle]]s. The enemies spawn in different positions each time, and as such, not much advice can be given, but killing the creatures that are a little off from the groups first is usually a safe tactic. The Dweevils can also be chased near an edge, and chances are they will walk off the side – their treasures will reappear elsewhere. You can also dispose of the [[Anode Beetle]]s by carrying a couple of Pikmin with you to flip them over, and using cleverly lured [[Careening Dirigibug|Dirigibugs]] to drop bombs on them and kill them. Treasures available are the [[Repair Juggernaut]], the [[Vacuum Processor]] and the [[Space Wave Receiver]].
 
There is an exit geyser on this sublevel if you need to leave the cave, but there is also a rest stop two sublevels down which can be used to replenish your Pikmin army.

Many enemies spawn close to each other in this level, and consist of [[Careening Dirigibug]]s, [[Dweevil]]s and some [[Anode Beetle]]s. The enemies spawn in different positions each time, and as such, not much advice can be given, but killing the creatures that are a little off from the groups first is usually a safe tactic. The Dweevils can also be chased near an edge, and chances are they will walk off the side – their treasures will reappear elsewhere.

This level contains [[Gatling Groink]]s, one walking about, and the other on a pillar. After you clear the enemies, the [[Indomitable CPU]], the [[Furious Adhesive]] and the [[Thirst Activator]] need to be collected. One of the treasures may be in a corner, and when this one is picked up, bomb-rocks are likely to fall from the sky. Make sure to be especially cautious collecting treasures here.
 
A good way to get rid of the walking Gatling Groink is to lure it over a gap which causes it to fall and instantly die. To note is that, due to the way cave sublevels are generated, the stationary Gatling Groink may not appear, and as such, you can miss out on the Indomitable CPU, as detailed [[Cave#Generation|here]] and [[Mistake#Missing sublevel objects|here]].

Looking around this level will reveal some metal switches and walls sticking out of the ground. There is an orb in the middle, which is the boss. However, it should not be attacked with normal Pikmin. Purples will inflict additional damage when they land on it while it is still dormant. The [[Man-at-Legs]] should have lost up to half of its health or more. This strategy is no longer possible in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'', as the creature is invincible while it is getting up from its dormant state. However, it can still be bombarded with Pikmin when in its dormant state.
 
Other than that, defeat the boss as per the strategy, recover the Stellar Orb, and go to the surface.

==Note==
This is also an excellent cave to get [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]]. At least 22 of any Pikmin type other than White or Purple should be brought along into the cave. On the third sublevel there will be a lone [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]. Should it not be there, resetting the game and reloading the level should make it appear eventually. The next sublevel spawns three Ivory Candypops. On the eighth sublevel there will be three [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s and two [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s.

By using the Queen Candypop Buds, the new Pikmin generated can be used for the Violet Candypop Buds. The eggs scattered about the level will provide nectar for the [[Maturity|leaf and bud]] Pikmin. The cave can then be exited via the geyser. This process can be repeated infinitely, as the Candypop Buds are not limited to a certain number of White or Purple Pikmin total.
