[[File:2PBattleMenu.png|thumb|300px|The 2-Player Battle Menu]]
'''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.
 
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 "''Ha-ri a!''" (Hurry up) or just a plain "''Ha-ri''" (Hurry), but note the lack of a "l" sound and it turns out that the Pikmin are actually cheering on their respective captains (E.g.: ''O-ri-ma!'' (Red Pikmin), ''Ru-i!'' (Blue Pikmin)). This is due to Olimar & Louie's Japanese pronunciation being '''Orimā''' (オリマー) and '''Rūi''' (ルーイ).
 
 
==Ways to win==
*Take 4 [[Crystallized Telekinesis|yellow marbles]] to your Onion. NOTE: There are only 7 in each area, so only one captain can get 4.
*Take your opponent's [[Crystallized Telepathy|red]] or [[Crystallized Clairvoyance|blue]] marble to your Onion
*[[Pikmin Extinction]]
*Your captin: Olimar/Louie is down!
 
==Win and Lose Reactions==
[[File:OlimarLose2.png|thumb|Olimar after losing 3 times.]]After a game is finished, the icon in the corner of the 2-Player Battle menu who won change to a grinning face of that character. The captain who loses will look angered. If one player wins three more matches than the opponent, then that character will appear even more happy, showing his teeth in his smile. The player 3 times under will look completely enraged, with evil looking eyes.

==Roulette Wheel==
The Roulette Wheel can be accessed when you find a cherry and a Pikmin successfully returns it to your Onion. You will have access to 12 different powers that benefit you, disadvantage your opponent or both, listed below:

|}
Note that enemies created upon a spin of the Roulette Wheel disappear completely upon defeat, meaning their bodies cannot be returned to either Onion, and only last for a short amount of time regardless of whether they are attacked.
 
==Pikmin Arithmetic==
Enemies found underground in single player are also in 2-Player Battle. Below is a list of how many sprouts each creature is worth:
*[[Snow Bulborb]]: 4 sprouts
*[[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]: 4 sprouts
*[[Breadbug]]: 4 sprouts
*[[Anode Beetle]]: 5 sprouts
*[[Careening Dirigibug]]: 8 sprouts
*[[Wollywog]]: 8 sprouts
 
==Strategies==
 
 
 
 
[[File:Pm2 2playermodes.png|thumb]]
 
These are basic strategies. Mix and match to do even better!
 
===Wasting opponent's [[Sprays]]===
 
Sprays are an essential part of 2-Player Battle, as they can turn the tides in a Pikmin vs. Pikmin situation easily. Using a small squad, attacking the enemy might get the other player to use sprays prematurely. This can be repeated with the rest of the Pikmin.
 
===Collecting marbles===
 
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 him/her 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.
 
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.
 
===Defense===
Leave about 7-15 pikmin at your marble to act as an alert system. When your numbers start to change, get back to base. They can also be left in crucial bottleneck passages.
 
===Cherry Siege===
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.
 
==Marble loss==
On some stages, a breadbug may steal your marble. If your opponent tries to take it back, attack him. Don't worry, you won't lose when your marble gets back to the breadbug's den. When your marble is gone, '''do not kill breadbugs'''. If the breadbug steals your opponents marble, use your pikmin to take to your onion. Overpower the breadbug 8/1.

==Trivia==
*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.
