'''Colosseum''' is an arena for [[2-Player mode|2-Player Battle]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. The arena has a snowy theme to it. The layout is mostly many open rooms filled with enemies that are connected by corridors. It is home to many Dwarf Red and Snow Bulborbs as well as a few Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae, which gives this stage a mass number of enemies but no hazards.

The number of Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae in the area depends on which of the 3 layouts is randomly picked. Usually, the Cannon Beetles rest close by at least one of the player's [[Onion]]s, and if you're low on [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] you may want to carry these to the Onion for a boost. You can also use the Beetles to kill the Dwarf Red Bulborbs, as a single rock can instantly defeat any one of them.


The Cannon Beetle Larva does not hold any reward at all, despite its carcass. They may be a great way to deal with the pesky Dwarf Bulborbs, as their rocks have enough strength in them to kill a Dwarf instantly.
There are a lot of Dwarf Bulborbs in the arena. Some of them hold yellow marbles, but note that the number of those that do depends on the layout. Be careful though, many of them are close enough together that you will have to fight them all at the same time.


Lots of dwarf bulborbs are resting in this area. Depending on what configuration of the colosseum you are in, it may depend on how many armored cannon beetle larva are in the area. Usually, the cannon beetles rest close by at least one player's onion, meaning if you're low on Pikmin population you may want to pick these up for a boost of Pikmin.
The passageways can get narrow, and Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae found in them can be very annoying to kill. This also makes it harder to avoid the [[Volatile Dweevil]] from the roulette wheel.


Like previously noted, the dwarf red bulborbs may drop yellow marbles, sometimes common, other times quite rarely. If you have a configuration with many cannon beetles, at least one may be holding a marble. The snow bulborbs may also become an annoyance, as they usually unite in a gang of three, four, and quite rarely five.
This stage contains many eggs, meaning more [[nectar]] for your Pikmin or sometimes, quite rarely, some [[Ultra-spicy spray|ultra-spicy]]/[[ultra-bitter spray|bitter sprays]]. It is recommended to break all of the eggs to get the sprays and nectar before your opponent can.


This is also one of the arenas with no hazards, apart from the enemies. The volatile dweevil from the roulette wheel may be a very dangerous enemy in this arena, as most of the colosseum's walls are quite narrow and it is easy to get cornered by an unwanted enemy.

The Colosseum can be home to many eggs, meaning more nectar for your Pikmin or, quite rarely, some ultra spicy/bitter sprays. These can be used against your opponent or against powerful enemies, such as the cannon beetles. It is recomended to break all of the eggs to get the sprays and nectar before your opponent can.

Colosseum is the fifth 2-Player Battle stage in Pikmin 2. The stage uses the snow theme used in some cave sublevels in the Valley of Repose. It is home to a large number of Dwarf Red Bulborbs and Snow Bulborbs, as well as a few Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae.

Strategies[edit]

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The number of Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae in the area depends on which of the 3 layouts is randomly picked. 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 carry these to the Onion for a boost. You can also use the Beetles to kill the Dwarf Red Bulborbs, as a single rock can instantly defeat any one of them.

There are a lot of Dwarf Bulborbs in the arena. Some of them hold yellow marbles, but note that the number of those that do depends on the layout. 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. 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. It is recommended to break all of the eggs to get the sprays and nectar before your opponent can.
