The '''Perplexing Pool''' is the third area discovered in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' of the four in the game, the last being the [[Wistful Wild]]. It is the wettest area in ''Pikmin 2'', with multiple lakes spread across its length and two of the caves being submerged ([[Submerged Castle|one of them]] permanently). The level contains four [[cave]]s, seven [[treasures]], and a variety of beasts, many of them spending a lot of time in water. The Perplexing Pool is considered a representation of Summer.

There are some Yellow Wollywogs and one Toady Bloyster in the water to the left of the landing site.
