Merged. Left behind an image showing the early cave lighting colors (speculation over them being used in this game mode), and a "kill last Pikmin" strategy (not a strategy, it's just a normal way to play and win).

This one often requires a bit of luck as it relies almost entirely on random generation. The cherries that allow you to use a roulette spin will oftentimes drop steadily in the same area of the arena over time (usually in one of the alcoves.) Take note of where cherries seem to drop more during the match, then keep Pikmin in that area to quickly transport them back to the onion. You can actually hold up to five spins at a time. Use the spins strategically or all at once in hopes that you'll drop lots of enemies and obstacles to keep your opponent busy. Large-scale distractions like this can help you steal marbles without them noticing or even a [[Pikmin Extinction]] if your opponent is careless enough. | This one often requires a bit of luck as it relies almost entirely on random generation.

=== | ===Breadbugs=== | ||
Breadbugs that steal marbles will keep them safe in their den until they are killed. This can be used for your advantage, seeing that if a Breadbug holds your marble, the opponent will first have to find and defeat the creature before recovering the marble. You should, however, be careful when letting the Breadbug take it, because your opponent might notice it, intercept the enemy, and claim the marble for themselves. | |||

Focus on increasing your army above everything else. If you're faster than your opponent, you can gather quite a number advantage. Then, go for the enemy with almost all your Pikmin. You can even let one or two Pikmin carry the opponent's marble while they're busy with the battle. | Focus on increasing your army above everything else.

== | ===Attack the leader=== | ||
{{todo|Can a Pikmin attack knock down a leader?}} | |||
Have your Pikmin army attack the opponent's leader. The damage caused will never cause the leader to be knocked out, but it will distract the player. Meanwhile, you can focus on getting the marble. If you get attacked by the opposing team's Pikmin, shake them off by quickly rotating {{button|gcn|Stick|wii|Stick}}. | |||
An attacked leader can use Pikmin from his team to help shake the aggressive Pikmin off. Keep this in mind when you plan an attack like this, and prepare your Pikmin numbers accordingly. | |||
== | ===Handling idle Pikmin=== | ||
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 even spawn your own with the roulette wheel. Additionally, you can throw bomb-rocks at them to quickly 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. | |||

*The Angle Maze features a [[Raging Long Legs]] in one of its variations. It is the only battle map to include a [[boss]] enemy. | |||
*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 later 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. These enemies might've been removed for being either too annoying or difficult. | |||
