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