The Perplexing Pool is the third area discovered in Pikmin 2 of the four in the game, the last being Wistful Wild. It is the wettest area in Pikmin 2, with a lot of river spread across its length, two of the holes being submerged. The level contains four holes, seven treasures, and a variety of beasts. The Perplexing Pool is considered a representation of Summer.
The area is noted to bear a number of striking resemblences to The Distant Spring in the first game, for which reason it be confidently considered to be the same area of the pikmin planet. Despite the similarites, there are some differences: for example, large continents are missing in the later version, and obstacles such as smidges and bates have been changed. Also, the size of the river to the west has been enhanced.
Additional enemies appear after day 30. These creatures are rather difficult to defeat, making it advisable for inexperienced viewers to watch this area before that day.
This is a sample of what is heard in the area in terms of music. The more powerful part of music is played when enemies are nearby.
