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.

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.
