The '''Shower Room''' is a cavern found in the [[Perplexing Pool]] [[areas|area]] of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the [[sublevel]]s of which are mostly in the [[Tile Lands]] style. To access the [[cave]], a bridge must be built across the lake behind the landing area so that [[Yellow Pikmin]] can cross to destroy the electric gate there. [[Blue Pikmin|Blues]] are needed next in order to destroy the rock formation covering the cave entrance, allowing Pikmin of other colours to approach it more easily.

 

It is possible to avoid building the bridge by throwing blues while running to land near the cave and unblock it. This allows yellows to approach the gate without the use of the bridge. It is also possible to enter the cave without destroying that gate via the [[Glitches#Leaving Boundaries|scales glitch]]; other types of Pikmin can be brought in by having the other [[captain]] bring them to the cave area and whistling him with the one behind the gate.

 

Once [[Blue Pikmin]] destroy the rock covering the entrance, the surrounding water is drained. There are also the remains of a tiled object around, supporting that the cave is a shower drain.  

 

In the NTSC version of this cave, there are {{Pokos}}x1220 worth of treasure. In the PAL version of this cave, there are {{Pokos}}x1240 worth of treasure.

 

==Enemies==

Enemies: [[Wogpole]]s, two [[Wollywog]]s (one falls from the ceiling), two [[Watery Blowhog]]s

Treasures: [[Merciless Extractor]] (NTSC) / [[Divine Cooking Tool]] (PAL)

Electric generators should block the paths, sometimes with Watery Blowhogs nearby. In this instace, Yellow Pikmin should still be used to shut off the generators because they can still be easily saved from any water. Apart from the enemies, some boulders may fall from the ceiling. However, the level has a simple layout, so the treasure should be easy to find.Strangley enough, wogpoles will fall from the sky. But don't be alarmed, they obviously will come no harm to your pikmin. They cannot and will not "shake" your pikmin off because they are not in water. The number that will fall is varied.

Enemies: [[Orange Bulborb]], [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]]s, [[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]]

Treasures: [[Sud Generator]], [[Durable Energy Cell]]

 

Apart from the boulders, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs fall from the ceiling as well. They could become a nusiance when attacking the Jellyfloat or the larger Orange Bulborb.

Enemies: [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]], [[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]]s, [[Wollywog]] (falls from ceiling), [[Hermit Crawmad]], [[Water Dumple]]

 

Treasures: [[Mirrored Stage]], [[Vorpal Platter]], [[Scrumptious Shell]]

 

Sometimes this level has 6-7 enemies all gathered in one spot; should this happen, a [[Ultra-Bitter Spray|bitter spray]] would be recommended, or regenerating the level with reset. Be prepared for any Water Dumples that drop from above.

[[Image:Shower Room.JPG|thumb|180px|right|The rest level]]

Treasures: [[Arboreal Frippery]]

A very large rest level. This is a unique level layout, only seen once in the main game mode. It appears to take the place in some pipes and under a street drainage vent. There are some [[Candypop Bud#Queen Candypop Bud|Queen Candypop Bud]] here. Also, if you need to leave, there is a geyser available. Although water flows through the pipes, it is shallow enough so that any Pikmin type can pass through without any trouble, Also Note that this rest level is similar to the [[Hidden Garden]], Challenge mode's twenty-third level with a few minor changes.

==Sublevel 5==

Enemies: [[Withering Blowhog]]s, [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]], [[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]] (Behind a fence, uncommon), [[Munge Dweevil]] (Behind a fence with a treasure, very uncommon), and an occasional [[Wollywog]]

Treasures: [[Broken Food Master]] (NTSC) / [[Merciless Extractor]] (PAL) [[Endless Repository]] (NTSC) / [[Permanent Container]] (PAL) [[Pondering Emblem]] (NTSC) / [[Happiness Emblem]] (PAL)

In rare occasions, a Fiery- and Withering Blowhog are behind a gate that must be destroyed to collect treasure. Not only does this mean that one should only use [[Red Pikmin]], but that these will also be deflowered. Restarting this layout is '''highly''' recommended. Also, some fire geysers could pose a threat to non-reds.

Enemies: [[Anode Dweevil]], [[Munge Dweevil]], [[Volatile Dweevil]], [[Bumbling Snitchbug]], [[Orange Bulborb]], [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]], [[Doodlebug]], [[Wollywog]]

 

Treasures: [[Rubber Ugly]], [[Behemoth Jaw]], [[Abstract Masterpiece]] (NTSC) / [[Plentiful Tank]] (PAL)

The first thing one should do is set off the Volatile Dweevil that is hiding in one of the pipes. The Orange Bulborb may be sitting in front of the Rubber Duck; also, just like the Volatile Dweevil, all Dweevils are hiding in the pipes, so they could take treasures that are being carried by Pikmin. One good way to deal with Dweevils is to throw a Purple Pikmin at or near it to stun it, but '''do not''' throw Purples at Volatile Dweevils, since the Pikmin will very likely be killed in the following explosion.

Boss Enemy: [[Ranging Bloyster]]

Treasure: [[Amplified Amplifier]]

Some gates have to be torn down to get to the Bloyster. Be careful, as sometimes his tongues can reach through the gate. See the link [[Ranging Bloyster|here]] for a very effective strategy.
