'''Battle Field''' (known as '''Battlefield''' in the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch version]]) is the first and most basic [[2-Player Battle]] stage in  ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It only has three types of enemies, [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s, [[Female Sheargrub]]s and [[Shearwig]]s that hide under marbles, and all three layouts are very simple. The first layout has three circular rooms connected by a long corridor, the second layout has one large room with little alcoves that usually hold yellow marbles, and the third layout has two y-shaped rooms facing each other.

Because of the simplicity of the level layouts and how easy it is to travel across and find yellow marbles, it is quite likely for a player to finish the course in about two minutes if playing for yellow marbles.

== Strategies ==
This stage is best won by stealing marbles from the other player. 
Or, if you have more Pikmin than your enemy, and the layout (various models of the level picked at [[Randomness|random]] whenever you select a 2-Player Battle level) is right, the narrow path will have three yellow marbles. If this is the condition, then you will want to use an [[ultra-spicy spray]] on your Pikmin, and get all three of them. Also, in the middle of the path, your can turn to see a circular area with three yellow marbles and some enemies. Kill the Dwarf Red Bulborb to the right, and get the marble it's guarding. As your Pikmin turn the corner, carrying the previously said marble, the ultra spicy spray will most likely wear off, and to make matters worse, your opponent will probably come. Whistle your Pikmin, use another ultra-spicy spray, and, before you grab the yellow marble again, use an [[ultra-bitter spray]] on the opposing Pikmin and reclaim the marble. Some items from cherries will help the strategy.
