The Shower Room is a dungeon found in the Perplexing Pool area of 'Pikmin 2', the sublevels of which have mostly the same style as the 2P location Tile Lands. To access the cave, a bridge must be built across the lake behind the landing area so that Yellow Pikmin can cross to destroy the electric gate there. Blues are needed next in order to destroy the rock formation covering the cave entrance, allowing Pikmin of other colours to approach it more easily.

It is possible to avoid building the bridge by throwing blues while running to land near the cave and unblock it. This allows yellows to approach the gate without the use of the bridge. It is also possible to enter the cave without destroying that gate via the scales glitch; other types of Pikmin can be brought in by having the other captain bring them to the cave area and whistling him with the one behind the gate.

In the NTSC version of this cave, there are 1220 Pokos worth of treasure. In the PAL version of this cave, there are 1240 Pokos worth of treasure.

Notes

Ship's dialogs

“A large rock sits in a reservoir of water. May I interject here?

I have been observing the two of you working together. You have been cooperating well.

Yet, to face the dangers ahead, you must be free of the shackles of a boss-worker relationship!

Learn to use X to separate and Y to change leaders.

If you can master teamwork, you can overcome any impediment!”

Electric generators should block the paths, sometimes with Watery Blowhogs nearby. In this instace, Yellow Pikmin should still be used to shut off the generators because they can still be easily saved from any water. Apart from the enemies, some boulders may fall from the ceiling. However, the level has a simple layout, so the treasure should be easy to find.

Excerpt from the level's music

Sometimes this level has 6-7 enemies all gathered in one spot; should this happen, a bitter spray would be recommended, or regenerating the level with reset. Be prepared for any Water Dumples that drop from above.

Huge rest room

A very large rest level. This is a unique level layout, only seen once in the main game mode. It appears to take the place in some pipes and under a street drainage vent. There are some Queen Candypop Buds here. Also, if you need to leave, there is a geyser available. Although water flows through the pipes, it is shallow enough so that any Pikmin type can pass through without any trouble, Also Note that this rest level is similar to the Hidden Garden, Challenge mode's twenty-third level with a few minor changes.

In rare occasions, a Fiery- and Withering Blowhog are behind a gate that must be destroyed to collect treasure. Not only does this mean that one should only use Red Pikmin, but that these will also be deflowered. Restarting this layout is highly recommended. Also, some fire geysers could pose a threat to non-reds.

The first thing one should do is set off the Volatile Dweevil that is hiding in one of the pipes. The Orange Bulborb may be sitting in front of the Rubber Ugly; also, just like the Volatile Dweevil, all Dweevils are hiding in the pipes, so they could take treasures that are being carried by Pikmin. One good way to deal with Dweevils is to throw a Purple Pikmin at or near it to stun it, but do not throw Purples at Volatile Dweevils, since the Pikmin will be killed in the following explosion.

Some gates have to be torn down to get to the Bloyster. Be careful, as sometimes its tentacles can reach through the gate. See the link here for a very effective strategy.
