The '''Secret Testing Range''' is one of the thirty levels in the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] for ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. There are two sublevels and each level involves creatures that have weapons as appendages.
The '''Secret Testing Range''' is the twenty-fifth level in {{p2}}{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. There are two sublevels, each involving creatures that have weapons as appendages, including a boss encounter with the [[Man-at-Legs]].


==Sublevel 1==
==Sublevel 1==
* '''Theme''': Metal
This level is a little hard, but the secret to the easy killing of a [[Gatling Groink]] is to bring all of your [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] and make the [[Purple Pikmin]] be up front and hit it's backside. Alternatively you can leave the [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] with [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] or [[Captain Louie|Louie]], control the opposite one and make the two [[Gatling Groink]]s come close to each other; then go underneath them, running back and forth when the [[Gatling Groink]]s' life circles are yellow or red.

This level is a little hard, but the secret to the easy killing of a [[Gatling Groink]] is to bring all of your [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], make the [[Purple Pikmin]] be up front and hit its backside. Or you can leave the Pikmin with [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] or [[Louie]], be the opposite one and make the two Gatling Groinks come close to each other; then go underneath them, running back and forth when the Gatling Groink's life circles are yellow or red.

This floor is very hard. Note you can lure the Man-at-Legs out of the water to make use of all of your Pikmin.


One useful technique (as depicted in the linked video below) is to stand close to the Man-at-Legs, just outside the circular ridge that the creature starts on.  Position your Pikmin behind the ridge, in the water.  If done correctly, the Man-at-Legs laser will target you, but its shots will hit the top of the ridge and do zero damage to your captain and your Pikmin.
*'''Time''': 150 seconds
*'''Enemy''':
**[[Man-at-Legs]]
*'''Treasure''':
**[[Favorite Gyro Block]]
**[[Fond Gyro Block]]

**[[Remembered Old Buddy]]


The music on this sublevel, a remix of ''[[Music in Pikmin 2#Metal 2|Metal 2]]'', is unique and does not play anywhere else.
