Colosseum

This article or section needs to be cleaned up, either its format or general style. Notes: The article is, in my opinion, horribly designed. Major cleanup is necessary.

An Armored Cannon Beetle Larva expels a boulder

Colosseum is an arena for 2-Player Battle in Pikmin 2. It is full of many, many Dwarf Red and Snow Bulborbs. It is one of the few stages with a mass number of enemies.

Tips

The number of Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae in the area depends on what configuration the stage is in. Usually, the Cannon Beetles rest close by at least one of the player's Onions, and if you're low on Pikmin you may want to pick these up for a boost. If you have a configuration with many Cannon Beetles, at least one may be holding a marble.

There are a lot of Dwarf Bulborbs. Some of them hold yellow marbles, but note that the number of those that do depends on the configuration. Be careful though, many of them are close enough together that you will have to fight them all at the same time.

The passageways can get narrow, and Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae found in them can be very annoying to kill, at the least. This also makes it harder to avoid the Volatile Dweevil from the roulette wheel.

This stage contains many eggs, meaning more nectar for your Pikmin or sometimes, quite rarely, some Ultra-Spicy/Bitter Sprays for you to use upon your opponent or against enemies such as the Cannon Beetles.
