The '''Sniper Room''' is the twenty-ninth level in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge mode]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. There is only one sublevel, but, as there are many enemies, it can get difficult. These enemies include [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s, [[Snow Bulborb]]s, a [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]], an [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]], and a [[Gatling Groink]].

It should be noted that this level is the only one in the game series that is played at night on [[PNF-404]], [[Twilight Garden]] being the only one played during the gloomy sundown. It is also the only level in Challenge Mode to include [[Foxtail]]s or [[Seeding Dandelion]]s.
This challenge level was the first instance in the {{ps}} where one could play on [[PNF-404]]'s surface at night, predating [[night expeditions]] in {{p4}}. However, this doesn't affect gameplay, beyond the very dim lighting.

The enemies here mostly use projectiles, hence the cave's name, so they can be used to attack each other. It is advisable to use the spray against the Groink. Treasures are spread throughout the field, and [[The Key|the key]] is well hidden.
 
With two players, one player can distract the Groink, while the other sneaks up from behind and attacks from the shovel.

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The Sniper Room is the twenty-ninth level in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. While it only consists of a single sublevel, it is filled with a variety of powerful enemies that tend to use projectiles, making completing the level rather difficult, especially if going for a pink flower. These enemies include Dwarf Orange Bulborbs, Snow Bulborbs, a Decorated Cannon Beetle, an Armored Cannon Beetle Larva, and a Gatling Groink.

This challenge level was the first instance in the Pikmin series where one could play on PNF-404's surface at night, predating night expeditions in Pikmin 4. However, this doesn't affect gameplay, beyond the very dim lighting.

Sublevel 1

The enemies here mostly use projectiles, hence the cave's name, so they can be used to attack each other. It is advisable to use the spray against the Groink. Treasures are spread throughout the field, and the key is well hidden.

With two players, one player can distract the Groink, while the other sneaks up from behind and attacks from the shovel.

Then it spawns these "decoration" objects:

16 Foxtail icon.png Foxtail 6 None Plant spots

22 Crystal Clover icon.png Crystal Clover 1 None Treasure spots
23 Gyroid Bust icon.png Gyroid Bust 1 None Treasure spots
24 Colossal Fossil icon.png Colossal Fossil 1 None Treasure spots
Then it spawns these "dead end" objects:
ID Object Amount Fall method Spawn location
25 Egg icon.png Egg 1 None Dead ends
Then it spawns "dead end" objects in as many dead ends as it can. Chances:
ID Object Chance Fall method Spawn location
25 Egg icon.png Egg 100% None Dead ends
  1. ^ a b c The sublevel's data makes it so 2 Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae (and 2 Tear Stones) should spawn in total, but no sublevel layout can ever accommodate them. All layouts end up generating exactly 1 (of each). Because the Beetle on "hard" enemy spots comes first in the sublevel data, that's the one that ends up being spawned.
For details on how objects are spawned, and how some may fail to spawn, see here.
