== Sublevel 1 ==

* '''Treasures''':

** {{icon|Sphere of Calm|y|v=P4}}

** {{icon|Grubchucker|y|v=P4}} × 2

* '''Obstacles''':

* '''Tools''':

* '''Others''':

== Sublevel 2 ==

* '''Treasures''':

** {{icon|Belted Delicacy|y|v=P4}} × 2

* '''Others''':

** {{icon|egg|y|n=Large Egg}}

This level starts you in front of a dirt wall, but avoid breaking down until you have killed the [[Armored Cannon Larva]] on the other side to prevent its boulders from harming you. If you make your way around the other side you will come across 2 [[Shearflea]]s. [[Rock Pikmin]] will be able to safely deal with them as they are immune to their stabbing. They are also good for avoiding the Armored Cannon Larva's boulders. You will then see 3 more Shearfleas and another Armored Cannon Larva. On the big wooden stumps in front there will be 3 more Shearfleas which can be killed easily. This allows you to be able to throw 10 Pikmin to grab the treasure on the top stump: the [[Belted Delicacy]]. This also means you can then access the white [[Candypop Bud]] which will give you 5 White Pikmin. You can then also grab the [[Raw material]]s. It isn't recommended to break the mushrooms until the end because they help with hiding from the boulders.  

The second area is behind another dirt wall. Inside, more Shearfleas surround the area. Once you are fully around, crack the large nectar egg. You should notice a third Armored Cannon Larva at the top of room's tree stump. In order for you to get up there, you will need to remove the sticky mold. When climbing the tree stump, timing is key. When there's time in-between the boulders coming down, ride Oatchi up to small platforms along the stump that allow you avoid the boulders. Once at the top, defeat the Armored Cannon Larva and collect the [[Spouse Alert]].

== Sublevel 3 ==

* '''Treasures''':

** {{icon|Creativity Conduit|y|v=P4}} (inside Horned Cannon Beetle)

** {{icon|Back-at-the-Beginning Track|y|v=P4}}

* '''Enemies''':

** {{icon|Horned Cannon Beetle|y|v=P4}} × 1

* '''Obstacles''':

* '''Others''':

** {{icon|Castaway|y|v=P4}} × 1 (Leafling)

** {{icon|egg|y|n=Large Egg}}

{{see also|Horned Cannon Beetle#Strategy|t1=Horned Cannon Beetle strategy}}

Within the main area is a large [[Horned Cannon Beetle]]. Before you engage with it, try to break as many as the mushrooms as you can so you can get rid of the sticky mold, otherwise you won’t be able to move much around the area. After that, you can properly fight the Horned Cannon Beetle. Once you kill the beetle, it will give you the [[Creativity Conduit]]. In other sections, you can find a [[Back-at-the-Beginning Track]] and a [[leafling]], both covered in more mold. Collect both and you'll be free to move on.

== Sublevel 4 ==

* '''Treasures''':

** {{icon| Memory Fragment (Center Left)|y|v=P4}}

* '''Others''':

Start by going to the right, to an area with 4 [[Shearwig]]s, who you will need to defeat. Then, smash the pots with Oatchi, which will smash the ones on top of the cans which drops the [[Chance Totem]]. But it means you can access Raw materials as well. On the opposite side of where the materials are there is a [[Flighty Joustmite]]. Whilst also being in that area another group of Shearwig you will need to combat there as well. This is when you can access the treasures. The first one is [[Memory Fragment (Center Left)]] and the second one is Chance Totem. After that you can break the mushrooms apart so that you can access the white Candypop Bud.  

Move onto another area where there are 2 Flighty Joustmite. If you kill them you will be able to move the [[Mega Horn]] safely. There is also a white Candypop Bud there, which can help with the [[Doodlebug]] and poisonous mushrooms later on. In the same area there is also a tunnel, which can make transferring treasure a lot easier.

The last area holds a [[Joustmite]] and a Swooping Snitchbug, though there are no more treasures, and this will simply just clear the way back to the S.S. Beagle.

== Sublevel 5 ==

* '''Treasures''':

** {{icon|Sweet Stumble-Not|y|v=P4}}

* '''Enemies''':

** {{icon|Sovereign Bulblax|y|v=P4}} × 1

* '''Obstacles''':

**  

** {{icon|Castaway|y|v=P4}} × 1 (inside Sovereign Bulblax)

** {{icon|egg|y|n=Large Egg}} × 2

{{see also|Sovereign Bulblax#Strategy|t1=Sovereign Bulblax strategy}}

First break the egg next to where you begin. Then go into the arena area and try to clear the sticky moulds on both sides without waking the [[Sovereign Bulblax]] up. Make sure all the eggs are smashed so that if you need to make your Pikmin stronger during the fight those are already pre-broken. Once you get wake the Sovereign Bulblax up, make sure that you are always on Oatchi so the Pikmin are not all over the place and you can easily call them back when they are thrown off it. However, when the monster pushes you off Oatchi with his roar, you need to make sure you call all Pikmin back and get on him as soon as possible. A good idea is to quickly jump off of Oatchi right before they roar to prevent getting briefly stunned. If you need to hide, there are leafs the Sovereign Bulblax can’t find you in. Once you defeat the monster the Castaway will come out of it and if you break the big egg it will give you Raw materials. The area will open up where the way out is but there is also a treasure in there which is a [[Sweet Stumble-Not]].
