Editing Rest sublevel

{{game icons|p2=y}}
'''Rest sublevel''', also referred to as '''rest stop''' or '''rest level''', is a general term used to describe sublevels in [[cave]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' that contain no or very few harmful [[Enemy|enemies]] or other [[hazards]], and large amounts of helpful items such as [[nectar]], [[ultra-bitter spray|ultra-bitter-]] or [[ultra-spicy spray]], or [[Candypop Bud]]s. A somewhat common exception to the "harmless enemy only" rule is [[Doodlebug]]s, two [[Hydro Dweevil]]s in one case, and [[Bulbmin]] found in another. [[Mamuta]]s can also be found on some, but those help the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. They can, however, hurt the [[leader]]s.

A fair proportion of rest levels contain [[geyser]]s, and they are most commonly found in long and difficult caves, often before or after sublevels containing [[boss]] enemies. Such levels usually contain large amounts of flora, [[Unmarked Spectralids]] swarms, [[Mitites]], pipes which act as tunnels, and water low enough for ''any'' Pikmin to safely walk through. These areas can be identified by [[Music in Pikmin 2#Rest|their calm musical theme]].

If there is a [[Candypop Bud]] and the player has the need to have a full group of flower Pikmin, it's feasible to throw the Pikmin into the flower and wait for them to bloom. This is easy enough with any flower in any sublevel, but doing so above ground tends to be a huge waste of time.

==Trivia==
*There are a total of 11 rest sublevels in {{p2}}, distributed in eight caves, making up 10.47% of all sublevels in the game.
**The only cave with three rest sublevels is the [[Hole of Heroes]] and the only one with two is the [[Subterranean Complex]]. All other caves containing any have only one.
*The only rest sublevels in {{p2}} that contain treasure are sublevel 5 of Frontier Cavern, sublevel 3 of White Flower Garden, sublevel 4 of Shower Room, and sublevel 12 of Hole of Heroes. When the Pikmin carry a treasure, the rest level's theme seems somewhat upgraded. As such, the player can only hear this four times in the game.
* Whilst no rest sublevels make an appearance in [[The Mud Pit]] in {{p4}}, the cave's first sublevel has a secluded and fairly peaceful island with greenery, Spectralids, and a Mamuta. The additional musical tone provided by the Spectralids makes the island very reminiscent of a rest sublevel.
