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 (game)|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. Also, the small piece of land in the south is now the entrance to the [[Shower Room]], and the drain to the lake.

==General layout==
The Perplexing Pool has a close resemblance to the [[Distant Spring]] of the first game, though it does have some changes. There is a big area where there was only small islands and water, there is no water in the middle of the area, the [[Shower Room]] is were the [[Massage Machine]] was in ''Pikmin'', the [[Submerged Castle]] is were the [[Chronos Reactor]] was, most of the gates are gone and there are 3 berry plants in the area - 2 in the middle of the area and one in the water. There are some Yellow Wollywogs and one Toady Bloyster in the water to the left of the landing site.

Artistic map of the Perplexing Pool.
An overview of the area

The Perplexing Pool is the third and largest area discovered in Pikmin 2 of the four areas in the game, the last being Wistful Wild. It is the wettest area in Pikmin 2, with a lot of lakes spread across its length, with two of the holes being submerged which requires Blue Pikmin in these areas. The level contains four holes, seven treasures, and a variety of beasts. There are also Yellow Pikmin in Pikmin 2 found in this area. 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 the first game, for which reason it be confidently considered to be the same area of the Pikmin planet. Despite the similarities, there are some differences: for example, large parts are missing in the later version, and obstacles such as bridges and gates have been changed. Also, the size of the lake to the west has been changed. Also, the small piece of land in the south is now the entrance to the Shower Room, and the drain to the lake.

This is a sample of what is heard in the area in terms of music. The more powerful part of music is played when enemies are nearby.
