This cave contains six different types of [[Candypop Bud]]s, which would in theory allow all types of Pikmin to be in the player's squad at once, should other types of Pikmin be brought in to begin with. However, the game specifically prevents this from happening by changing the color of any Candypop Buds that would produce a seventh type of Pikmin. Buds are changed to Ice by default, White if Ice would also be a seventh color, and Purple if both those options are invalid. Glow Pikmin do not count for how many types are active at a time. It is likely this rule applies to all Candypop Buds in the game, though it can only be observed in this cave. | |||

Beagle]], or shattering them with [[Ice Pikmin]] or an [[Ice Blast]], will prevent the [[Toxstool]] from resurrecting them. From there, a focused attack from [[White Pikmin]] should be able to dispatch it. If you don’t want to break apart the enemies with ice attacks, just focus on the [[Toxstool]] for now. | ||

For the first time in 22 years, it's time for the Snagret triple threat. It is recommended to try and bait out and defeat each [[Burrowing Snagret]] individually. Prepare to [[rush]] each Snagret's head just as it pops out of the ground, which can deal with a Snagret in just a handful of attack cycles. | For the first time in 22 years, it's time for the Snagret triple threat.

This sublevel contains a landing area for the [[S.S. Beagle]], and a large arena where [[Louie]] and the [[Ancient Sirehound]] are found. It drops the [[Gift of Friendship]]. The player does not need to actually transport the Gift of Friendship or Louie, as it happens during a cutscene immediately after defeating the Ancient Sirehound. Additionally, on the first visit, this final sublevel contains no [[cave exit]], as the player, Oatchi, and their Pikmin will use the S.S. Beagle to fly out of the cave instead. On return visits, a cave exit will appear next to the base. | This sublevel contains a landing area for the [[S.S. Beagle]], and a large arena where [[Louie]] and the [[Ancient Sirehound]] are found.
