The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The Hidden Garden is the twenty-third level in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. Only two Bulbmin are available. Being that there are no harmful enemies in this level, a pink flower is inevitable upon winning, unless Pikmin are left unplucked.

Sublevel 1

The Key is located inside a Skitter Leaf. There are many Queen Candypop Buds which can be used to increase your Pikmin amount. Most treasures are hidden inside pipes or inside other Skitter Leaves. Also note that this stage is similar to the fourth sublevel in the Shower Room with a few minor changes.

Glitch

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 2.
Particularly: Elaborate and throw it to the glitches page when it's good.

Very rarely, if the player throws a Pikmin in a sand area (in the hill), that Pikmin can disappear and die.
