Sublevels in ''Pikmin 2'' can generally be categorized into 3 types, those being: | |||
* '''Normal levels''' usually have a few harmful enemies, and sometimes don't have any treasure. | * '''Normal levels''' usually have a few harmful enemies, and sometimes don't have any treasure. | ||

* '''Boss levels''' contain one or more large [[boss]]es, 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]]. When the boss is defeated, it often drops an [[upgrade]] for the [[leader]]s' space suits or ship. | * '''Boss levels''' contain one or more large [[boss]]es, are usually the final level of a cave.

''Pikmin 4'' has a greater emphasis on puzzles and exploration, with all sublevels having fixed layouts, compared to ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} random generation on most of its sublevels. Some sections of some layouts are references to or outright reworkings of [[cave unit]]s originally from ''Pikmin 2'', such as <code>room_hitode4x4_3_metal</code> and <code>room_dan4x4i_3_conc</code>. | |||

In ''Pikmin 2'', the holes are round, rocky mounds, with a small hole in them. On the cave entrance hole, if the cave has not been [[#Cave completion|completed]], wisps of steam will come out, and the screen will become foggy when the hole is approached. In contrast, if it has been completed, a simple red flag will be placed near the entrance. Inside a cave, the hole to a next sublevel will always contain steam, but will not fog the screen. | In ''Pikmin 2'', the holes are round, rocky mounds, with a small hole in them.

They are actually Japanese {{w|curb box}}es, which are plastic tubes that house valves. After completing that cave, a flag appears in the color of the player's spacesuit with the [[Rescue Corps]] logo. When completing [[Burrow of Beginnings]] for the first time, [[Collin]] can be seen placing one such flag down in a cutscene. In addition, some caves have multiple holes, where the player will enter in one side and exit on the other such as the [[Aquiferous Summit]] and the [[Engulfed Castle]]. Entering the "exit" side of the cave from the surface will slightly change the layout to allow the sublevels to be cleared in reverse order, with an air vent that takes the player back to the "entrance" hole on the first sublevel. Exiting a cave from the [[pause menu]] will take the player back to the hole they entered from. | ||

In ''Pikmin 2'', the [[Pikmin limit]] is respected even inside caves, while in ''Pikmin 4'' the player can have as many Pikmin as they want inside the cave, and even from more than 3 types, though the Pikmin they can bring in from the surface must still respect those two limits. Also in ''Pikmin 4'', if the cave is exited with surplus Pikmin, any extras will simply be brought to the Onion when the player chooses what Pikmin types to take with them once they land. | In ''Pikmin 2'', the [[Pikmin limit]] is respected even inside caves, while in ''Pikmin 4'' the player can have as many Pikmin as they want inside the cave, and even from more than 3 types, though the Pikmin they can bring in from the surface must still respect those two limits.
