== Description ==
At the start, the player can call some [[Red Pikmin]], that are needed to destroy the [[dirt block]]s below [[Olimar]]'s feet. After that, a little cutscene plays, introducing a [[bomb rock]], which will be a major element of the area. Some steps after this, the player has to grab one of those rocks in order to destroy cobblestone blocks, and get access to the first treasure, the [[Cheer-o-Sphere]]. Then, Olimar has to take another bomb rock to destroy a wall of cobblestone blocks, that are blocking the way to the rest of the area. After encountering some [[Male Sheargrub]]s and a [[Crammed Wraith]], Olimar can go through a doorway and find a [[Seedbagger]]. Some time after this, the player has to throw their Pikmin to the second treasure, the [[Numerical Monument]], in order to retrieve it. Next to the treasure, there is a wall of cobblestone blocks to destroy. After a little walk, Olimar has to throw a bomb rock to a pile of cobblestone blocks in order to recover the [[Gigaton Bag]]. After that, the player needs some Rock Pikmin in order to get access to a bomb rock, thus making progress in the area, and reaching the end of it.

Echo Cavern (いわに ひびく おと?, lit.: "Sound echoing in the rocks") is the second main area in the Sparkling Labyrinth. It takes place inside a cave with lots of gems, but also several cobblestone blocks. These blocks can be destroyed with the usage of bomb rocks, that get introduced into the game in this area.

Description[edit]

At the start, the player can call some Red Pikmin, that are needed to destroy the dirt blocks below Olimar's feet. After that, a little cutscene plays, introducing a bomb rock, which will be a major element of the area. Some steps after this, the player has to grab one of those rocks in order to destroy cobblestone blocks, and get access to the first treasure, the Cheer-o-Sphere. Then, Olimar has to take another bomb rock to destroy a wall of cobblestone blocks, that are blocking the way to the rest of the area. After encountering some Male Sheargrubs and a Crammed Wraith, Olimar can go through a doorway and find a Seedbagger. Some time after this, the player has to throw their Pikmin to the second treasure, the Numerical Monument, in order to retrieve it. Next to the treasure, there is a wall of cobblestone blocks to destroy. After a little walk, Olimar has to throw a bomb rock to a pile of cobblestone blocks in order to recover the Gigaton Bag. After that, the player needs some Rock Pikmin in order to get access to a bomb rock, thus making progress in the area, and reaching the end of it.

Whistle the group and throw them at the nearby dirt blocks in the floor in order to fall into the next area. Upon falling into the area head to the right until encountering the Bomb Rock cutscene showcasing its ability to explode. From here continue to the right until encountering some cobblestone blocks and Bomb Rocks near a doorway. Enter the doorway in order to enter a room with another doorway on an elevated platform with a vine next to it. Climb up the vine and enter the doorway in order to reach an area with a Bomb Rock generator. Head to the right in order to collect a Bomb Rock from the generator and reach the Cheer-o-Sphere blocked by some cobblestone blocks. Throw a Bomb Rock at the blocks in order to break them and reach the treasure. After collecting the Cheer-o-Sphere, head back through the doorways with a Bomb Rock in order to break the cobblestone blocks blocking the main path forward.

Continue forward while avoiding the Male Sheargrubs on the ceiling until encountering the first Crammed Wraith in the way. It can be defeated either by a Bomb Rock explosion or by throwing the Pikmin over its shell and attack it from the front. After taking out the Crammed Wraith head forward until encountering a vine and doorway. Head through the doorway and enter an area with a Seedbagger at the end of the path. Quickly take it out by throwing Pikmin at it in order to collect plenty of Sparklium Seeds. After defeating the Seedbagger head back to the main area and climb up the vines and head to the left in order to whistle another group of 4 Red Pikmin before heading to the right and encountering a Crystalline Crushblat near a Bomb Rock generator. Use the Bomb Rock in order to blow up the Crushblat's shell and defeat it. After defeating the Crystalline Crushblat ares ome cobblestone walls blocking the path of a vine requiring another Bomb Rock explosion to clear before proceeding forward.

After climbing up the vine is a Crammed Wraith moving backwards at incredible speeds. Wait for it to slowly move forward and throw Pikmin at the front of it. After taking out the Crammed Wraith continue forward while whistling another group of 4 Red Pikmin from a bush before encountering a Bouncy Mushroom with a Bomb Rock generator nearby. Throw a Pikmin at the Bomb Rock and head up the mushroom and throw the bomb at a nearby set of cobblestone blocks in order to clear the path to a doorway. Before entering the doorway, head to the left and throw some Pikmin at the nearby [[Numerical Monument] and let them carry it to you. After collecting the treasure head to the right and enter the doorway to the next part of the area.
