Obviously you will encounter hordes of enemies and all hazards in this cave. It is highly recommended you take 20 of each color of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. This way you can face every obstacle with the right color. If you are a bit more confident in your abilities, it might be of interest for you to take 40 [[Purple Pikmin]] and 15 of every other color.

Recommended Pikmin types:

* [[Red Pikmin]]

This is a small section in the middle of a field, walled off by pebbles. The Corpulent Nut is in one of the "dead ends". However, be careful on your way to the treasure. Sheargrubs will ambush you. The quickest way to defeat them is to smash them down with Purple Pikmin. You should only bother with the larger enemies like the Burrow-nits and Chrysanthemums if they're in the way to the treasure. There will often be a Burrow-nit or Creeping Chrysanthemum in the way of a treasure. If so, deal with the enemy aby itself. Eliminate all smaller nearby enemies before you take the large ones. The Chrysanthemums are obviously your biggest threat. They can be taken care of most effectively by tossing your Purple Pikmin and stunning it. If it manages to catch a Pikmin, you have a very limited window to save it so defeating the Chrysanthemum as quickly as possible is recommended. Lastly, be ready to fight any [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s that fall from above. They often drop down on you when you walk into a dead end. If this occurs, do not panic. Direct your Pikmin, who should be close by,to just attack the bulborb. 9 times out of 10 you will not suffer a loss. There are a couple eggs that might help you in some of the dead ends.

This floor is home to a large amount of "bug" enemies. Swooping- and Bumbling Snitchbugs are spotted often on this floor. Anode Beetles litter the cave as well. There is also one Antenna Beetle on this floor, along with 2 Careening Dirigibugs. The level's only treasure, the [[Essence of True Love]], is underground, and must be dug up by White Pikmin. [[Bomb-rock]]s are likely to fall down in the corners.

Recommended Pikmin types:

* [[Red Pikmin]]

Treasures:

The pit in the middle is a minor obstacle if you comb the rim. It is recommended to use yellow pikmin. If you hammer it with enough pikmin, it will not attack while it is above ground. Remember that the best way to attack a snagret is to wait for only its head to rise above the ground and throw pikmin while it struggles. Note that this pileated snagret is not as big as the one in the [[Snagret Hole]], meaning aiming will be a little easier.  

The sublevel looks like a rest-stop, and it is. There are many Mamutas, Honeywisps, and Unmarked Spectralids so you can stock up on sprays and/or nectar. Two Iridescent Glint Beetles hide on this sublevel. There is also a geyser, and more than enough nectar.

A special sublevel with a layout seen only twice in the game, and music unique to the Hole of Heroes. It is aquatic and moving any non-Blues through it will be a pain- explore it using your Blues. First off, there is a section of land connecting to the stump that you're on in the water. If you get your Pikmin to it, they'll be safer than where they are now. Unfortunately, there may be some enemies on the beach that will cause big trouble in the small space. Consider resetting if the beach is too heavily guarded. When you set out to explore with Blues to get the treasure, the [[Nutrient Silo]]. Be careful with the Water Dumples. Punching them is sometimes safer than taking them on with Pikmin. There are two Yellow Wollywogs, two Hermit Crawmads and a regular Wollywog here. Take them on one at a time if they get in the way of your path to the treasure, but if you don't have to fight them, don't risk it. Wogpoles are harmless. If you need to make more Blue Pikmin, use Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds here (if your non-blues can reach them.) The hole is blocked by a stone formation that your Pikmin must destroy in order to delve deeper.

Recommended Pikmin types:  

Enemies:

Plenty of space for a clash with the Ranging Bloyster and a quartet of Cannon Beetles. Have one captain hide your Pikmin in the alcove behind your ship while you send the other to activate the falling rocks and have the Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae and Decorated Cannon Beetles shoot each other to death with their boulders. After that, the Ranging Bloyster is easy prey; keep switching control of your pilots to keep it confused so you can easily attack the bulb on its backside. It will give up the sublevel's treasure, the [[Joyless Jewel]].

Another rest-stop sublevel. On this floor, there is a large amount of Candypop Buds. There is also a Bulbmin if you don't have a full party of 100. A few Doodlebugs also appear on this sublevel, as well as a geyser. The Doodlebugs are a valuable source of ultra-bitter sprays.

Recommended Pikmin types:  

Enemies:

Whites and Purples are your Pikmin of choice for this small sublevel. The Whites can disable the gas pipes while your Purples pound on the Mitite swarms and the Emperor Bulblax duo. They're easy to defeat as long as you pummel them with Purples as they rise up from the ground. One of them holds the treasure, the [[Treasured Gyro Block]].

Enemies:

In this sublevel you fight [[Empress Bulblax]]. This one produces [[Bulborb Larva]]e. Where you start out you see its rear end so call your Pikmin and run to its face. Then start attacking it. Do not worry about the larvae, Empress Bublax will run them over herself. You will also need to run when it hits the walls when it rolls because boulders will fall in your general area. When you defeat it you will get the [[Favorite Gyro Block]]. Consider breaking down the fence that blocks the hole to the next sublevel; it will give you more room to dodge the falling boulders.

Sublevel 12 is like a rest stop. The enemies (Flint Beetles) here are harmless, save for the Doodlebug. There is also an [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] that when you hit it (which is easy to do with Purples) it will give you the [[Lost Gyro Block]]. And that is the only treasure on that floor. There is a geyser here in case you need to leave, and there are also Queen Candypop Buds.
