'''2-Player Mode''' was introduced to the [[Pikmin series]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It involves, as the name implies, two players, who control [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Louie]], in control of up to 50 of each [[Red Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] respectively. Each player can start the match with a multiple of 5 Pikmin between 5 and 50, and cannot exceed 50 total Pikmin on the battlefield at any time.
'''Purple Pikmin''' are the second type of Pikmin found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and are first found in the [[Emergence Cave]]. They are specifically required to obtain a number of treasures, two of which are needed to gain access to new areas, making them necessary to complete the game. While it is, in fact, possible to clear the debt in the first area, this takes a substantial amount of time to finish, as eventually the only form of income that remains are enemy corpses. Purple Pikmin share a number of similarities with [[White Pikmin]]. Firstly, they can only be obtained via certain [[Candypop Bud]]s, in this case [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s, and have pink flowers rather than white. In addition, at the [[End of Day|end of each day]], they are stored in the ship; and they are not found in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''.


2-Player Mode takes place in underground areas, their layouts randomly generated. Each player has an appropriate [[Onion]], near which a similarly-colored marble lies at the start of the game. There are four ways to win (see article) and ten differently-themed areas to play on, ranging in difficulty. Returning a [[Cupid's Grenade|cherry]] to your Onion will allow you a spin of the roulette wheel. To make things even, [[Red Pikmin]] have lost their extra strength.

Purple Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2 and are first found in the Emergence Cave. They are specifically required to obtain a number of treasures, two of which are needed to gain access to new areas, making them necessary to complete the game. While it is, in fact, possible to clear the debt in the first area, this takes a substantial amount of time to finish, as eventually the only form of income that remains are enemy corpses. Purple Pikmin share a number of similarities with White Pikmin. Firstly, they can only be obtained via certain Candypop Buds, in this case Violet Candypop Buds, and have pink flowers rather than white. In addition, at the end of each day, they are stored in the ship; and they are not found in Pikmin.
