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 (one of them permanently). The level contains four caves, 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.
The area is noted to bear a number of striking resemblances to The Distant Spring in the first game, for which reason it can be confidently considered to be the same area of the Pikmin planet. At one point, Olimar points out how much the area has changed since his last visit.
Additional enemies appear after day 30. These creatures are rather difficult to defeat, making it advisable for inexperienced players to complete the 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.
General layout
The Perplexing Pool has a close resemblance to the Distant Spring of the first game, though it does have some changes.

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