'''Caves''' ({{j|洞窟|Dōkutsu|Cave}}) are underground locations in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Exploring them is important since they contain [[treasure]]s, [[castaway]]s, [[Flarlic]], and wild [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] inside. Each cave consists of a series of cramped [[#Sublevel|sublevels]] that limit the player's possibilities, with the gameplay and ambiance inside reflecting that fact:

Caves in both games are composed differently, with sublevels in ''Pikmin 2'' being [[Pikmin 2 cave generation|generated randomly]] each time, but following a specific layout scheme, while sublevels in ''Pikmin 4'' are fixed and focus more on puzzle-solving.

Caves are entered through [[#Hole|holes]] in the areas. Similarly, somewhere in the cave is a way to [[#Exiting caves|exit it]], allowing the player to safely return to the surface with all of their collected objects.

Sublevels in ''Pikmin 2'' can generally be categorized into 3 types, those being:
While sublevels in ''Pikmin 2'' are fairly generic, they can be roughly categorized into three types:


* '''Normal levels''' usually have a few harmful enemies, and sometimes don't have any treasure.
* '''Normal levels''' usually have a few harmful enemies, and sometimes don't have any treasure.
* '''[[Rest sublevel|Rest levels]]''' either lack enemies or only have harmless enemies (exceptions being [[Doodlebug]]s and [[Bulbmin]]). Rest levels have Pikmin-supporting items, such as [[nectar]], [[ultra-bitter spray]], [[ultra-spicy spray]], or [[Candypop Bud]]s. These levels usually lack treasures, and feature [[Music in Pikmin 2#Relax|special ambient music]]. Most rest levels also have a [[geyser]] available, so the player can return to the surface if they have a low number of Pikmin.

The only cave without a boss level is the [[Emergence Cave]], and the one with the most is the [[Hole of Heroes]]. When the boss is defeated, it often drops an [[upgrade]] for the [[leader]]s' space suits or ship.

''Pikmin 4'' has a greater emphasis on puzzles and exploration, with all sublevels having fixed layouts, compared to ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} random generation on most of its sublevels. Some sections of some layouts are references to or outright reworkings of [[cave unit]]s originally from ''Pikmin 2'', such as <code>room_hitode4x4_3_metal</code> and <code>room_dan4x4i_3_conc</code>.
In ''Pikmin 4'', sublevels are also simplistic for the most part, but their layout and objects are placed with purpose as to provide the players with a curated challenge, usually in the form of a puzzle or some tricky exploration. Some bits of the layout are references to or outright reworkings of [[cave units]] originally from ''Pikmin 2'', such as <code>room_hitode4x4_3_metal</code> and <code>room_dan4x4i_3_conc</code>.

Line 133: Line 135:
In ''Pikmin 2'', the deepest sublevel of every cave receives special attention by the game and is known as the '''final floor''', or the '''final level''' in the European [[region]] of the [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|''New Play Control!'' version]]. As the player drops into it, the game announces this by playing a distinct jingle, along with displaying the words "FINAL FLOOR!" or "FINAL LEVEL!" in large, yellow letters, before the player regains control. Additionally, on the [[HUD]], the word "SUBLEVEL" in the top-right corner is replaced with the words "FINAL FLOOR" or "FINAL LEVEL" in yellow.

In ''Pikmin 4'', there is far less attention drawn, simply displaying "FINAL SUBLEVEL" in place of the number as it fades away. For caves with only 1 sublevel ([[Burrow of Beginnings]], [[Last-Frost Cavern]], [[Dream Home]], [[Sightless Passage]]), the distinction does not appear at all.

[[File:Cave.png|thumb|The hole used to go down to the next sublevel. These look the same as entrances to caves above ground.]]
To enter a cave, the player must get close to a hole and press the [[throw]] button. To go from one sublevel to the next, the same must be done to a similar hole within the sublevel.
To enter a cave, the player must get close to a hole and press the [[throw]] button. To go from one sublevel to the next, the same must be done to a similar hole within the sublevel.


In ''Pikmin 2'', the holes are round, rocky mounds, with a small hole in them. On the cave entrance hole, if the cave has not been [[#Cave completion|completed]], wisps of steam will come out, and the screen will become foggy when the hole is approached. In contrast, if it has been completed, a simple red flag will be placed near the entrance. Inside a cave, the hole to a next sublevel will always contain steam, but will not fog the screen.

In ''Pikmin 4'', the holes are black tubes with colored lids &ndash; cyan for normal caves, gray for [[Dandori Challenge]]s, and orange for [[Dandori Battle]]s. They are actually Japanese {{w|curb box}}es, which are plastic tubes that house valves. After completing that cave, a flag appears in the color of the player's spacesuit with the [[Rescue Corps]] logo. When completing [[Burrow of Beginnings]] for the first time, [[Collin]] can be seen placing one such flag down in a cutscene. In addition, some caves have 2 holes, where the player will enter in one side and exit on the other such as the [[Aquiferous Summit]] , the [[Frozen Inferno]] and the [[Engulfed Castle]]. Entering the "Exit" side of the cave (which has no cyan lid) from the surface will slightly change the layout to allow the sublevels to be cleared in reverse order, with an air vent that takes the player back to the "entrance" hole on the first sublevel. Exiting a cave from the [[pause menu]] will take the player back to the hole they entered from.

In ''Pikmin 4'', wild Pikmin, enemy corpses, treasures, and so on will remain in the same state the player left the cave in for a few days, position included, until the cave is completed, at which point the standard rules for respawning everything from scratch described above apply.

=== Entering caves ===
=== Entering caves ===
Once the player chooses to enter a cave from a [[#Hole|hole]], a confirmation menu appears with some information about the cave. In ''Pikmin 2'', it shows the kinds of [[hazard]]s inside, and in ''Pikmin 4'', the first page lets the player pick a sublevel to land on from previously visited sublevels, and the second page shows the [[Onion menu]] so the player can pick which Pikmin join them inside.

If the player accepts, the current leader, the other leader or [[Oatchi]], and the [[squad]] of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] will all jump inside in a brief [[cutscene]]. For [[Dandori Challenge]] and [[Dandori Battle]] caves, the Pikmin will refuse to go inside, however. The other leader or Oatchi will join in regardless of distance, and in ''Pikmin 4'', the player's character and Oatchi will also join in even if they are knocked out, despite the entering cutscene not showing it.

Unlike entering a cave, leaders and Oatchi will not regain any [[health]] when a deeper sublevel is entered. In ''Pikmin 4'', certain sublevels will force Oatchi to fall in a spot far away from the rest of the crew, which usually results in the player having to solve some problem in the sublevel to reunite everyone.

As explained [[#Pikmin management|below]], when a sublevel is exited, if there are any unplucked sprouts, the game will notify the player about this and ask them if they wish to continue. The same happens if there are any uncollected [[Flarlic]], [[Treasure]]s or [[castaway]]s.

In ''Pikmin 2'', the [[Pikmin limit]] is respected even inside caves, while in ''Pikmin 4'' the player can have as many Pikmin as they want inside the cave, and even from more than 3 types, though the Pikmin they can bring in from the surface must still respect those two limits. Also in ''Pikmin 4'', if the cave is exited with surplus Pikmin, any extras will simply be brought to the Onion when the player chooses what Pikmin types to take with them once they land.

If any Pikmin happen to be currently [[sprout|buried]], attempting to leave a sublevel will prompt the game to warn you about abandoning the sprouts, showing a confirmation dialogue. What happens when a sprout is left behind a sprout works differently in the two games: While sprouts left behind are permanently lost in both games, they are only considered to be actual deaths in ''Pikmin 2''; in ''Pikmin 4'', they will not be considered as casualties in the [[Tablet#Status Report|Status Report]] screen.
When exiting the current sublevel, [[sprout]]s will remain behind and be lost forever; the game will even show a confirmation dialog about this if that is the case. Oddly, in ''Pikmin 4'', the game will not consider these Pikmin as dead within the [[Status Report]] screen.


=== Completion ===
=== Completion ===
A cave is considered "complete" if all major treasures within it have been collected. A cave that has achieved completed status will stop emitting mist, and a flag will be placed next to it. This is a small red flag with no symbol in ''Pikmin 2'', and a larger flag with the [[Rescue Corps]] symbol and colour in ''Pikmin 4''. A flag icon will also appear on the symbol used to mark the cave on the [[radar]].
{{game help|p4}}
As mentioned [[#Hole|above]], caves that are completed will have a small flag right next to their entrance.


In ''Pikmin 4'', [[obstacle]]s will be permanently destroyed, and [[raw material]] piles will be permanently collected. However, these are not considered for cave completion.
In ''Pikmin 2'', a cave is considered "complete" if all treasures within it have been collected.
 
In ''Pikmin 4'', a completed cave's icon on the [[radar]] will show a hole with the lid open and a small golden flag next to it, while uncompleted caves show a closed lid.

{{main|Glitches in Pikmin 2#Cave entrance leader mixup}}
When entering the first sublevel of a cave in ''Pikmin 2'', the game may or may not switch the player's active leader. This does not happen when the player goes from one sublevel to the next, making it mysterious as to why the leader changes seemingly randomly when going to the first sublevel.
When entering the first sublevel of a cave, the game may or may not switch the player's active leader. It depends on the last leader the player used to jump to a non-first sublevel.
 
In reality, this happens because of a simple glitch. In order to decide what leader to turn active whenever a sublevel is entered (be it the first or not), the game reads a variable in memory. This variable is also saved onto the [[Saved game|save game data]] and loaded from it. It is set whenever the player goes from one sublevel to the next, which explains why, when the next sublevel is loaded, the game selects the correct leader. However, this variable never gets set when the cave itself is entered. This means that when the first sublevel is finished loading, the game reads the variable, and uses an outdated value, last updated when a sublevel hole was entered. This glitch was not fixed for the ''New Play Control!'' or Nintendo Switch rerelease.
 
It can also be noted that [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] uses a different behavior, without a glitch, and that the default value of the variable is 0, meaning that at the start of the game, before the player goes from one sublevel to the next, the game will make Olimar the active leader when entering a cave.

{{game help|p4}}
Four distinct types of cave floors can be seen in the February and June trailers: one that looks like a standard dirt cave, another that's themed around metal and seems to take place inside of a shed, one with a muddy floor and brick walls, one taking place over metal platforms in a dark void, one taking place in an enclosed area with blue tiles on the walls and floor, and one that appears to take place inside what is presumably either a display terrarium in an aquarium/a pet store or a science museum's water table. Notable content that can be seen includes:
* Dirt cave:
** Muddy floors.
** Dirt walls.
** Tiny fungi.
** Dead leaves scattered about.
* Shed:
** Metal rings and dirt on the floor.
** An LED {{w|dot matrix}} display, showing a number. All trailer footage just shows the number "01".
** In the cave's background, what is either the sunlight shining from the slits on the door of the shed, or some {{w|fluorescent lamps}} that are on.
** Support beams in the background, possibly made of wood.
* Brick cave:
** Muddy floor.
** Brick walls.
** Green mold.
* Display area:
** Sandy floors.
** Rocks and fake plants.
** Lit up by lamps.
** A wall with an ocean painted on it.
** Glass walls.
** Fake logs with what appears to be {{w|astroturf}} on top of them.
** In the background, cylindrical aquariums built into pillars can be seen, along with blurry visages of soda fountains behind them. What appears to be a blurry exit sign and a vending machine can also be briefly seen.
