Concrete Maze is the twelfth level in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. You start with only two White Pikmin, which you will need to command efficiently to navigate the labyrinthine sublevels. You are given very little time for each sublevel and there are no treasures until the last one; you should simply grab The Key and leave as soon as possible.
Sublevel 1
- Theme: Concrete
- Music: Fire
- Time: 70 (140 seconds)
- Starting Pikmin:
White Pikmin × 2 (flower)
- Treasures:
The Key × 1
- Enemies:
- None
- Obstacles:
- None
- Vegetation:
- Others:
This sublevel is deserted apart from some plant life and a few weak gates. The Key is somewhere in the maze – seeing as you only have about two minutes, you may wish to quit the challenge and try again to get a different layout if it's not close to the Research Pod. Zoom your camera all the way out to try and see where you need to go.
The gates on this sublevel are extremely weak. In fact, they only have one hit point, meaning even a single White Pikmin will completely destroy it in only a few seconds.
With this in mind, a good strategy is to split your leaders apart, giving each one Pikmin, and scouting the sublevel to try and locate The Key. If you happen upon a dead end, lay down and switch to the other leader to explore the other direction while the Pikmin carries them back to the Pod. You should also switch leader to scout out the other side of the sublevel during the brief waits for your White Pikmin to break a gate.
Leave the moment you collect The Key; the more time you can take into the next sublevel the better.

Sublevel 2
- Theme: Concrete
- Music: Concrete 3

- Figwort (small red) × 30
Horsetail × 1
Margaret × 1
Shoot (large) × 1
- Others:
This sublevel is even larger, and is utterly filled to the brim with bomb rocks and Volatile Dweevils. Given the small amount of time you have, you're usually better off rushing past them before they can explode – your army is typically fast enough to evade the explosions entirely. The Key is somewhere in the huge maze. Even after you get the Pikmin on it, you'll have to be careful – while they're usually fast enough to evade the explosions, you may need to whistle them back to dodge a Volatile Dweevil if it drops directly on top of them.
Leave as soon as you collect The Key; there are no other treasures and your time is short.
