The [[Smoky Progg]] is significantly easier than how it was in {{P1}}, but can still cause mass Pikmin casualties if the player is unprepared. A good strategy is to use Oatchi's [[rush]] skill to send all of your Pikmin onto it, defeating it quickly. Just be sure to jump to avoid the shockwaves produced by its projectiles, and whistle after it shakes off your Pikmin to ensure they don't panic directly into the path of its [[gloom]] or into the swamp surrounding its arena. However, with an [[ultra-spicy spray]], the [[Rush Boots]], and tight movement, you can destroy the egg by simply rushing into it before it gets to hatch.{{cite youtube|_oROvjbABxg|of the Smoky Progg's egg being destroyed before it hatches|published={{date|21|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|24|August|2023}}}}

This room is very cramped, so it is recommended to use Oatchi or a small group of [[White Pikmin]] to clear the sticky mold before engaging with the boss. Try to lead the [[Gildemander]] away from the walls, as gold that is knocked off its back may land in a spot where it is hard to destroy. It is highly recommended to clear the sticky mold before engaging in combat with the boss, for your Pikmin will go for the mold first.

Take down the [[Armored Cannon Larva]] before dealing with the main boss of this sublevel. Be wary of their unusual boulder paths, which curve around the arena. A fairly useful strategy is to position yourself behind an Armored Cannon Larva so that the [[Horned Cannon Beetle]]'s boulder rolls towards it and kills it in one hit.

[[Louie]] shows up before running off yet again in this sublevel. A [[Baldy Long Legs]] stomps between a water-filled pit and a mud patch, both of which are surrounded by blocks, so [[Blue Pikmin]] are recommended. Additionally, using ten [[Ice Pikmin]] (if you happen to have any left over) to freeze the water (or the mud) will also freeze the boss, which can be used to the player's advantage. The mud patch is shallow though, so you don’t need Ice Pikmin.

Two [[Waterwraith]]s spawn almost immediately after entering this sublevel. However, they do not pose much threat if the player brought Purple Pikmin. If they did not, there are [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s blocked by sand walls available to create some. One of the Waterwraiths holds the [[Connection Detector]]. It is required to defeat both to unlock the path to the next sublevel.
