Cave unit: Difference between revisions

{{game icons|2=y}}

[[Cave]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' are made out of [[Randomness|random]]ly placed '''units'''. There are units that represent dead ends, corridors, crossings, and rooms. Every cave's [[sublevel]] has a list of units that can be used by the game to create it; the latter is then responsible to randomly align the units in order to create a level with no unconnected exits.

There are three types of units, as defined by the "room type" property, declared in the [[sublevel]] unit definition text files:

The following is a list of all existing units in ''Pikmin 2'', used and [[Unused content|unused]], and sorted by theme. The theme is judge based on the common word in the units' names.
