Sublevel 1[edit]

Theme: Concrete
Music: Concrete 2
Time: 200 (400 seconds)
Starting Pikmin:
- Red Pikmin × 25 (flower)
- Blue Pikmin × 25 (flower)
Treasures:
- Crystal Clover × 1
- Cupid's Grenade × 4 (inside Dwarf Red Bulborbs)
- Lustrous Element × 1
- Mirrored Element × 3 (2 inside Dweevils)
- Petrified Heart × 1 (inside Fiery Blowhog)
- Tear Stone × 1 (inside Watery Blowhog)
- The Key × 1 (inside Fiery Bulblax)
- Unknown Merit × 1
Enemies:
- Dwarf Red Bulborb × 4
- Fiery Blowhog × 1
- Fiery Bulblax × 1
- Fiery Dweevil × 1
- Hydro Dweevil × 1
- Mitite (group of 10) × indefinite amount (from eggs)
- Watery Blowhog × 1
Obstacles:
- Fire geyser × 7
Vegetation:
- Figwort (large brown) × 1
- Figwort (small brown) × 6
- Shoot (small) × 5
Others:
- Egg × 1 or more

Start off by collecting the treasure lying around, if you want, then start looking for a Watery Blowhog and a pipe. Kill the Blowhog (be wary that it can throw Pikmin inside of a wall, killing them) and go down the pipe, where you should see some fire geysers. Continue walking and you'll see a Fiery Bulblax. Use an ultra-bitter spray and your Reds. Snatch the key, watching the Pikmin carry it because Dweevils might appear: make sure they don't take it. Next, grab some more treasures if you like, and then go down the hole.

The high-strung, hungry Orange Bulborb has the key needed. Use your ultra-spicy spray. Sneaking up from behind is advisable, but most of the time it's in a small room, making that impossible. If you don't like its placement, reset the cave. Grab some treasure, since there should be lots of time (there is also a lot of treasure). Open the geyser and exit.
