The '''Perplexing Pool''' is the third area discovered in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' of the four in the game, the last being the [[Wistful Wild]]. It is the wettest area in ''Pikmin 2'', with multiple lakes spread across its length, two of the caves being submerged. The level contains four [[cave]]s, seven [[Treasure Hoard|treasures]], and a variety of beasts, many of them spending a lot of time in water. The Perplexing Pool is considered a representation of Summer.
The area is noted to bear a number of striking resemblances to The Distant Spring in [[Pikmin 1|the first game]], for which reason it be confidently considered to be the same area of the [[Planet of the Pikmin|Pikmin planet]]. Despite the similarities, there are some differences: for example, large parts are missing in the later version, and obstacles such as [[bridge]]s and [[gate]]s have been changed. Also, the size of the lake to the west has been changed.


The area is noted to bear a number of striking resemblances to [[The Distant Spring]] in [[Pikmin (game)|the first game]], for which reason it be confidently considered to be the same area of the [[Planet of the Pikmin|Pikmin planet]]. At one point Olimar points out how much the area has changed since his last visit.
Additional enemies appear after day 30. These creatures are rather difficult to defeat, making it advisable for inexperienced players to complete this area before that day.
