Many of the enemies here have projectile and explosive attacks – be very careful when bringing Pikmin in, as explosions will kill them instantly. The boss is the [[Man-at-Legs]], an [[Arachnorb]] species armed with a laser-guided machine gun. The total value of all the treasure here is {{pokos|1480}} in the US [[Region|version]] and {{pokos|1310}} in the European version. | ||
Because the way the layout generation works, some sublevels, particularly [[#Sublevel 3|sublevel 3]] and [[#Sublevel 8|sublevel 8]], can place the sublevel hole right next to the edge. The player can use the ramped surface of the hole to climb on top of the railing and jump off into the [[pit]]. | Because the way the layout generation works, some sublevels, particularly [[#Sublevel 3|sublevel 3]] and [[#Sublevel 8|sublevel 8]], can place the sublevel hole right next to the edge.

Like the [[Frontier Cavern]], it is impossible to reach the cave before getting [[Blue Pikmin]]. Use Blue Pikmin to remove the [[clog]] in the first pond and build a [[bridge]] over the second. Once this is done, Pikmin of all types can be brought across. Beside the [[Watery Blowhog]] that is beyond the clump of enemies is a gate covered by [[gas pipe]]s, requiring [[White Pikmin]] to destroy. The cave is located beyond this gate, up a slope that is challenging for Pikmin to climb. Defeating the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s, the various [[Blowhogs]] and the [[Cloaking Burrow-Nit]] is recommended, but not strictly necessary. | Like the [[Frontier Cavern]], it is impossible to reach the cave before getting [[Blue Pikmin]].

The hazards of this dungeon are limited, with more focus being placed on [[bomb rock]] explosions, so minimal care needs to be placed on the proportions of the other Pikmin types. There is little reason to include less than 100 Pikmin in your party to take advantage of the [[Queen Candypop Buds]] until after all treasures have been collected, unless you elected to bring a small squad of [[Purple Pikmin]]. This is because the [[Queen Candypop Buds]] are located on sublevel 8, and the only danger following is the [[Man-At-Legs]]. | ||

Start by destroying the poison pipes, and defeating some [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]s if they happen to be an annoyance. There are two treasures in this level: the [[Nouveau Table]], which should be buried, and the [[Exhausted Superstick]]. The [[Snow Bulborb]]s and [[Hairy Bulborb]]s can then be dealt with, preferably using [[Purple Pikmin]]. | Start by destroying the poison pipes, and defeating some [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]s if they happen to be an annoyance.
