Editing Rusty Gulch

[[File:Rusty Gulch preview.png|thumb|300px|Stage preview.]]
The '''Rusty Gulch''' is a map in the [[2-Player Battle]] mode of ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is constructed out of rusty metal pathways held by large pillars. Certain spots have odd colored "sand", and the entire stage is floating over a [[Pit|bottomless void]] in which Pikmin die when [[throw]]n, and may be home to a [[Gatling Groink]]. One of the layouts that the stage can have bears great resemblance to that of [[Subterranean Complex]], sublevel 5 and [[Dream Den]], sublevel 4, featuring multiple ramps with a high area at the center.

==Gatling Groink strategies==
One very interesting strategy involving the [[Gatling Groink]]s in this area is to actually have a Gatling Groink guard your base and marble from opponents. First, find a Gatling Groink, preferably close to your base. "Kill" it, then have your Pikmin start bringing it back to your Onion. Right before they bring it to the Onion, call them back. After a bit, the Groink will fully regenerate in your base. This is a good strategy if you don't play by getting yellow marbles, but remember the Groink will attack anyone's Pikmin, so be careful when carrying items back to your base.

If you do play by getting yellow marbles, another way is to intercept the opponent whilst carrying a [[Gatling Groink]] near their base, and make sure the Groink revives. This means that you can gather yellow marbles faster while the opponent fumbles around with the Gatling Groink. This strategy is more effective for getting yellow marbles and making your opponent slow down.
