'''Caves''' are the underground areas in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', of which 14 exist in all. Although there is a large overworld, most [[treasure]]s are found in these caves, so most of the time playing the game is spent down them. All enemies, including bosses, respawn between visits - the only exceptions to this are [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s and [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s, which, in some caves such as [[Frontier Cavern]] and [[Hole of Beasts]], do not appear once the player has 20 or more [[Purple Pikmin]] or [[White Pikmin]] already; this is to stop the player from gathering large numbers of Purples and Whites with too much ease. | '''Caves''' are the underground areas in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', of which 14 exist in all.

The time of [[day]] does not pass while the player is in a cave, and their floors are generated [[Randomness|random]]ly each time, but follow a specific layout scheme. According to earlier versions of the game, this is because the space-time continuum was warped due to the cave's geomagnetic radiation field. <ref>"''A geomagnetic radiation field underground must have warped the space-time continuum.''" "''Even my record of the terrain has been erased.''" | The time of [[day]] does not pass while the player is in a cave, and their floors are generated [[Randomness|random]]ly each time, but follow a specific layout scheme.

The holes through which the player enters the caves are round, rocky mounds, with a small hole in them with wisps of steam coming out. To enter one, the player must simply press {{button|gcn|A|wii|A}}. If the other leader is alive, it'll instantly join the party, regardless of distance. Any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] under the current leader's control will jump down with them, and any that are idle or working will return safely to their [[Onion]]s. Once the player enters a cave, there is no way to increase Pikmin population save for [[Bulbmin]] and/or [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s. | The holes through which the player enters the caves are round, rocky mounds, with a small hole in them with wisps of steam coming out.

Inside a cave, if both leaders lose all their [[health]], the research pod will cancel the expedition, losing the collected treasures in the process, and then bring them to the overworld. A mission can also be aborted manually by using the [[Menu#Pause|pause menu]]. | Inside a cave, if both leaders lose all their [[health]] or all Pikmin die, the research pod will cancel the expedition, losing the collected treasures in the process, and then bring them to the overworld.

'''Boss levels''' are usually the final level of a cave. The only cave without a boss level is the [[Emergence Cave]], and the one with the most is the [[Hole of Heroes]].

*The final sublevels of the [[Subterranean Complex]], the [[Hole of Beasts]] and the [[Bulblax Kingdom]] all have property {f010} (階段を壊す岩で隠す(0=オフ 1=オン)) set to 1. This property decides whether the hole to the next sublevel should be [[clog]]ged or not. The oddity here is that the final sublevel does not have a hole. | *The final sublevels of the [[Subterranean Complex]], the [[Hole of Beasts]] and the [[Bulblax Kingdom]] all have property {f010} (階段を壊す岩で隠す(0=オフ 1=オン)) set to 1.

== Glitches== | |||
{{todo|Confirm the glitch where the Pikmin don't jump down and remain idle. If confirmed, add it to the glitches page.}} | |||
*[[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Cave hole glitch|Cave hole glitch]]: It is possible for a leader to end up inside the cave hole's geometry, if he's placed on the hole's spawning point before it spawns. | |||
*[[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Cave death count glitch|Cave death count glitch]]: If a Pikmin is suffering from a hazard and the player chooses to go to the next sublevel, the Pikmin will still have the suffering animation when jumping down the hole. If they made that last cry, they will nevertheless be alive on the next sublevel, but the total Pikmin lost count will increase. | |||
*[[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Instant Pikmin extinction|Instant Pikmin extinction]]: By entering a cave and [[dismiss]]ing at the same time, the game will let the player enter the cave with no Pikmin. | |||
*There is a glitch that can happen when proceeding to the next sublevel. In the animation where you jump into the hole, some pikmin may appear idle and won't jump in with you. Thankfully, these Pikmin that don't jump in will appear on the next sublevel. | |||
== Trivia== | |||
{{todo|Get source for this claim about keeping the treasures when leaving via pause.}} | |||
*In an earlier version of ''Pikmin 2'', the player could leave caves with half of the collected treasure if they leave through the [[Menu#Pause|pause menu]]. However, all Pikmin would be lost in doing so. | |||
*Although not acknowledged by the games as a cave, [[The Forest Navel]] is technically the first cave explored by Olimar on the [[PNF-404|planet]]. | |||
