Nearby, some Pikmin investigate what appears to be a small red tube, but turns out to be the snout of a [[Fiery Blowhog]], which soon after, shoots fire. The Yellow and Blue Pikmin in the group run away, but the Red Pikmin braves the fire and jumps on the Blowhog's head; a second Red Pikmin appears and joins the first one. The first Red grabs the enemy's snout, which sends it on a rampage. The other Pikmin try to run away from it and its fire while the Red Pikmin enjoy the ride. Eventually, the Blowhog trips on a rock and slides onto a puddle of mud, where the Pikmin ran off to. After a wave of mud, everybody stops, and the Pikmin stare at the enemy's snout, preparing for an incoming attack. Instead of fire, however, the creature cannot help but spit out some more mud onto the Pikmin. With the exhausted Blowhog now immobile, the Pikmin frolic on the mud and play around its body. For some reason, a Red Pikmin emerges out of the mud and its leaf is quickly turned into a flower.

Back to Olimar, he continues issuing Pikmin to fall on the ramp, and notices some Pikmin approaching with a large melted metal bolt. Surprised, it quickly tells them to put it on the pile. As the camera points to the top of the backhoe, it is possible to notice a hole on the arm piston, indicating that that's where the previous treasure was taken from. At the top of the crane, some Pikmin attempt to pry out a nut with their leaves, but fail. A White Pikmin approaches them, and spits acid at the screw keeping the nut in place, disintegrating it. Two Pikmin hurry to bring the nut away, as the third Pikmin looks down upon the melted metal hole, which gives a clear view of the scene down below. Midway through carrying the nut, it melts into a puddle of iron. The White Pikmin eventually moves to the base of a guard rail at the side of the driver's cabinet in the vehicle, which is a U-shaped metal pole stuck to the cabinet's floor. The White Pikmin melts down most of the bases of each end of the pole. It then kicks one of them, trying to make the guard rail fall, but is stopped by the other Pikmin nearby. After squirming under a Red Pikmin's grasp, it spits out some acid around itself, scaring away the others, while a Red Pikmin sitting on the pile of screws laughs at them. During this, the rail eventually does fall down and off the backhoe.

Meanwhile, back at the mud puddle, we can see a Red, a Yellow, and a Blue Pikmin throwing mud at each other, and a Red Pikmin climbing the exhausted Fiery Blowhog's head, leaving muddy footprints in the process. Then, a Yellow Pikmin notices a large dark tube with something shining inside. It hurries in and grabs the shiny screw, noticing a second one further inside. As the Pikmin kneels down to grab the second screw, it notices some normal-sized mushrooms and a gigantic mushroom-like bulb. It kicks it twice, and it is revealed that it is actually the hide of a [[Red Bulborb]]. The Pikmin drops the screws and runs away from the tube, screaming. The other Pikmin wonder why that was, until the Bulborb exits its dark den.

The Pikmin all get out of the mud as the Bulborb gives chase. It eventually catches up to a Red and a Blue Pikmin, grabs them with its mouth, and swallows them. They do not die, however, as they eventually pop out out of its nostrils. In terror, they round around its forehead and grab its eye stalks, and later, its eyes. After shaking them off, the Bulborb comes face to face with a worker glove standing upright, with its fingers in a "stop" gesture. Under the glove, one can see Pikmin feet. The hand then extends the index finger, shakes it negatively, points at the Bulborb, and starts spinning the finger in circles, hypnotizing the beast. It then wildly flails the finger about, with the Bulborb quickly facing to the direction it points, and after pointing up, the Bulborb rapidly flips backwards and lands on its back. In this state, a thought bubble appears on the Bulborb, showing the glove, and highlighting the Pikmin feet under it. Upon this realization, the enemy gives chase to the glove, and catches it, shooting away the Pikmin inside.

These Pikmin land on a nearby car tire rim and crawl inside its holes. The Bulborb looks around, and eventually a Blue Pikmin peeks out of its hole. Other Pikmin do the same, and pop back in almost straight afterwards. This gets repeated between the Pikmin, with each time being quicker and having more Pikmin do it. Enraged, the beast finally sticks one eye stalk down a hole, only to get a Red Pikmin kick its eye. The Bulborb reels back in pain and violently kicks the rim. The object doesn't move, and the creature just ends up hurting its foot instead, eventually putting it in its mouth after shrieking in pain. Meanwhile, Olimar and some Pikmin climb up to the top of the backhoe's crane, and the captain takes notice of the Red Bulborb down below, which is attempting to flip the rim over with its snout. The Bulborb manages to toss it high into the air, as the Pikmin inside nervously try to hang on, except for a Blue Pikmin, which just walks along the rim's curve as it spins. The object lands, and the Pikmin scatter around. Seeing this, Olimar [[whistle]]s them to safety. The Bulborb then begins chasing after the running Pikmin.

On their way, they run into a stream of fire emitted by the Fiery Blowhog from before, now inside the vehicle's treads; it only manages to shoot some flames after it resumes spitting mud from its snout. Interestingly, one Blue Pikmin is caught by the flames, and its leaf catches on fire, but unlike what happens in the games, the fire extinguishes itself automatically and the Pikmin continues unharmed. The Bulborb eventually catches a Blue Pikmin, tosses it into the air, and swallows it. This Pikmin does die, as its [[spirit]] can be seen floating in the air. It also catches a Red Pikmin, which it chews before swallowing. Right after, it spits its stem and leaf, which release the Pikmin's spirit; these spirits follow the ''Pikmin 3'' style. The Bulborb and Pikmin continue running, with one Pikmin even crying, until they all eventually reach a dead end on the backhoe's bucket.

The lever's pull curves the bucket, making the Pikmin and Bulborb fall off. While falling, the Pikmin's leaves turn into flowers, acting as parachutes. The scene stops, and the Bulborb imagines itself creating an umbrella out of the red spotted part of its back. When it realizes that that's impossible, the thought bubble breaks, and, horrified, the creature continues falling to its doom. It lands on the floor with a thud and becomes unconscious not long after. The Pikmin gently land on top of the creature, and during that time, a descending Blue Pikmin bumps against a Red Pikmin that had already landed, causing the "[[mariowiki:Green shell|Koopa shell]] kicked" sound from ''Super Mario Bros.'' to play. Olimar eventually shows up and approaches the Pikmin and Bulborb. The Pikmin that came with Olimar all rush and swarm the beast, bumping against Olimar on the way. As they attack it, Olimar faces the camera with a drop of sweat on his face.

Suddenly, a loud metal screeching noise is heard. The gears that held the backhoe's bucket in place begin to fall off and detach, followed by the same happening to the whole arm of the machine. In a panic, Olimar [[whistle]]s the Pikmin several times to get them out of the way. They look up at the incoming objects and run off. When they leave the Bulborb's carcass, it becomes censored with a {{w|pixelization}} pattern; the reason could be as a joke: the Bulborb is so badly beaten up that its appearance is too gruesome to show. The bucket falls down and traps the Bulborb in, but no Pikmin gets trapped under it, although they are tossed aside as if they were hit by a [[bomb rock]] explosion. The rest of the backhoe falls apart in a huge cloud of dust.

The Research Pod returns at this point, and starts scanning the wreckage. Once it is done, it points at Olimar and displays some holographic text with the total value of the junk: {{pokos|100}}. After a second however, another zero is added to the right, and then more and more. The real value of the backhoe's remains turns out to be {{pokos|1000000000000007}}, one quadrillion and seven Pokos, or over 37000000000 (thirty seven billion) times the total amount of [[treasure]]s in ''Pikmin 2''. Bewildered, Olimar spins around and poses as the Pikmin celebrate – this actually became the celebration dance when Olimar completes an [[area]] in {{hp}}.
