Brawny Abyss is the seventh level in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. The player is given 50 Blue Pikmin, although there are no water hazards. However, there are Fiery Blowhogs and no Red Pikmin.

Sublevel 1Edit

Theme: Metal
Music: Metal 1
Time: 130 (260 seconds)
Starting Pikmin:
- Blue Pikmin × 50 (flower)
Treasures:
- Adamantine Girdle × 1
- Crystallized Telepathy × 1 (inside Fiery Blowhog)
- Mirth Sphere × 3 (inside Snow Bulborbs)
- Spirit Flogger × 1 (partially buried)
- Superstrong Stabilizer × 1
- The Key × 1 (inside Armored Cannon Beetle Larva)
Enemies:
- Armored Cannon Beetle Larva (buried) × 1
- Fiery Blowhog × 1
- Snow Bulborb × 3
Obstacles:
- None
Vegetation:
- Glowstem (green) × 5
- Glowstem (red) × 5
Others:
- None

Use the larva to kill the other enemies. Then take out the larva itself. Your Pikmin will be safe after they are thrown off, since they will hug the wall and the boulder will fly over them. Get the treasure near the hole (should the hole pop up at the back near the Bulborbs) for some extra Pokos. Watch out when pressing / at the hole. Pikmin are often thrown instead and will drop down to death. However, should this happen, going down the hole before the Pikmin die will prevent them from dying at all.
