'''War Path''' is the second [[2-Player Battle]] stage in {{p2}}. Unlike other stages, players start with only one of each [[spray]] type on this map, instead of two.


The cave's design is very basic. The rooms are simple squares connected together with metal 'pipes' or short alleys. The floor is made out of sand or partially out of metal, such as the before mentioned pipe-like corridors.
The [[cave]] is designed around tightly knit corridors, placing players' bases in close proximity to each other. Each layout makes use of concrete rooms and pipe corridors, scattering [[Snow Bulborb]]s and [[Female Sheargrub]]s along the map. The first layout connects both bases with a concrete corridor, the second layout connects both bases with a trapezoid-shaped room and an independent corridor flank route, the third layout places both bases next to each other, and spaces yellow marbles along the corridors on the outskirts of the layout.

If your playing on a configuration where your opponents base is very close to your own, make it more fun just trying to steal your opponents marble. However, it is wiser to keep track of your own marble as if you go hunting for yellow marbles, your opponent may sneak in an attack and capture your marble. Leaving a group of 25-40 [[Pikmin]] near your base may be helpful and will keep your enemies at bay. When you hear your Pikmin brawling, you know your opponent is attacking your base. Head back there and fend off the remaining enemy Pikmin.

Many helpful cherries drop down from the unknown in your base if the battle takes too long. A lot of the roulette enemies such as the [[Withering Blowhog]] will keep your enemy busy, meaning you can go and hunt for yellow marbles, but only if you're willing to take a risk. Your opponent may attempt to steal your cherries whilst you're absent. Keep track of your cherries and more importantly your marble in order to keep the battle steady.

Be aware of the ocassional boulder that may drop from the sky in certain areas, particularly near the locations of yellow marbles.

One strategy to win is to sneak through the pipes and grab their marble while they are away. Be careful though because they cannot carry the marble back through the pipe but through the connected squares and they will be very open to attack.

Preview of the War Path stage.
Stage preview.

War Path is the second 2-Player Battle stage in Pikmin 2. Unlike other stages, players start with only one of each spray type on this map, instead of two.

The cave is designed around tightly knit corridors, placing players' bases in close proximity to each other. Each layout makes use of concrete rooms and pipe corridors, scattering Snow Bulborbs and Female Sheargrubs along the map. The first layout connects both bases with a concrete corridor, the second layout connects both bases with a trapezoid-shaped room and an independent corridor flank route, the third layout places both bases next to each other, and spaces yellow marbles along the corridors on the outskirts of the layout.

Strategies[edit]

This stage is good for quick battles. Try to lure your opponent away and steal their marble, or try your luck for a Pikmin Extinction with the roulette.

If you're playing on a configuration where your opponent's base is very close to your own, you can attempt to make it more enjoyable just trying to steal your opponents marble. However, it is wiser to keep track of your own marble as if you go hunting for yellow marbles, your opponent may sneak in an attack and capture your marble. Leaving a group of 25-40 Pikmin near your base may be helpful and should keep your enemies at bay. When you hear your Pikmin brawling, you know your opponent is attacking your base. Head back there and fend off the remaining enemy Pikmin.
