With a small squad, the player can run to the opponent's base and steal the marble, assuming the other player is not there with a larger squad. Should the other player come to defend the marble, running up to them with the rest of the Pikmin can distract the enemy Pikmin from getting to the marble that is being carried away. Creatures can also be led to the enemy base as means of distraction or to kill idle Pikmin. | With a small squad, the player can run to the opponent's base and steal the marble, assuming the other player is not there with a larger squad.

For yellow marbles, if the other player is likely to stop marbles from being brought back, it is advisable to collect ones that are on opposite side of each other, as it will force the other player to decide between them. | For yellow marbles, if the other player is likely to stop marbles from being brought back, it is advisable to collect ones that are on opposite side of each other, as it will force the other player to decide between them. | ||

Idle Pikmin on the opposing team can be dispatched in a number of ways. You can try luring the Pikmin towards a [[hazard]] or [[enemy]], or spawn your own with the roulette wheel. On a stage with them, you can even throw bomb-rocks at Pikmin to easily wipe them out. As a last resort, you can use an [[ultra-bitter spray]] to get rid of Pikmin guarding a choke point. Do not use Pikmin of your own to clear these idlers out, as they'll just be reborn at the Onion. | [[Idle]] Pikmin on the opposing team can be dispatched in a number of ways.

*Within the game's files, one can find textures for 3 unused Roulette Wheel slots: an [[Antenna Beetle]], a [[Spotty Bulbear]], and a combination of a [[Fiery Dweevil|Fiery]] and [[Caustic Dweevil]], the latter having a duplicate file with the same name, but with "_old" appended. The backgrounds' colors and lines indicate that these slots were removed before the final icon textures were cleaned up. | *Within the game's files, one can find textures for 3 unused Roulette Wheel slots: an [[Antenna Beetle]], a [[Spotty Bulbear]], and a combination of a [[Fiery Dweevil|Fiery]] and [[Caustic Dweevil]], the latter having a duplicate file with the same name, but with "_old" appended.

*In this mode, the leaders are immune to the Watery Blowhog's water-like liquid and the Fiery Blowhog's fire.

*In the [[GameCube]] games, the idle Pikmin at the start of a match will not have glowing stems. If they are taken in the group and then made idle again, their stems will glow like normal.

*In the ''New Play Control!'' versions, at the start of a match, idle Pikmin that join a [[leader]] will first race to a point far away from the leader, and only after a second return to their rightful spot in the group.
