Finally, the [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s can be killed by just swarming them the old-fashioned way. The final treasure, the Confection Hoop can be found on a ledge guarded by some Dwarf Orange Bulborbs. To get there, walk to the opposite ledge and throw Pikmin over the gap and to the treasure. Throw more Pikmin over, since it is surrounded by the Bulborbs.

The exit is [[Clog|sealed]], so you will have to use Pikmin to smash the rock and open the cave to the next sublevel. One strategy is to destroy the clog before the rest of the cave, so you can leave as soon as the Waterwraith shows up. Getting the treasure back to the Research Pod takes some effort because the Waterwraith is always coming down a small isle that you have to walk through; do your best to try to avoid it and eventually it will go away. Get the treasure back to your ship and continue on down.

*The cavern contains 13 treasures, a famously unlucky number; this appears to be intended to reflect the cave's nature, and especially that of its boss.

*The music is very similar to the music that plays in the "[[wikibound:Cave of the Past|Cave of the Past]]", the final dungeon in another of [[Nintendo]]'s popular games, ''[[wikibound:EarthBound|EarthBound]]''. Both of the bosses in these caves were supernatural beings with somewhat unintelligible forms and seeming invulnerability.
*An earlier version of the game's English script reveals that this cave was originally intended to be called "Lookout Ruins".{{cite web|http://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script|Pikmin 2/Early English Script|The Cutting Room Floor}}

*The Waterwraith is actually programmed to drop the [[Professional Noisemaker]] in all sublevels, not just the final one. By using external tools to somehow damage and defeat the Waterwraith in one of these sublevels, it will not appear in any following sublevel.

*The cave's file contains a timer for the Waterwraith to appear after 15 seconds on the final sublevel, but it remains unused in favor of having the creature spawn when the arena is entered.

*Curiously, the games files specify that the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Flooded Stump|musical theme]] for sublevel 6 of the [[Hole of Heroes]] should play on all five sublevels. Despite that, in practice, the Submerged Castle's normal theme is hard-coded to play instead. The same occurs on sublevel 9 of the [[Dream Den]].

*The engulfed castle from Pikmin 4 is a callback to the submerged castle.
