Before the battle starts, players can also set the following match options:
Before the battle starts, players can also set the following match options:


*'''Victory Macaroon''': Setting this to on will make each team start with their [[#Victory Macaroon|Victory Macaroon]] near their Onion. The default value is off. Victory Macaroons will not appear if this is turned off.  
*'''Victory Macaroon''': Setting this to on will enable the [[#Victory Macaroon|Victory Macaroons]]. The default value is off.
*'''Battle Type''': Allows players to choose the number of starting [[leader]]s: one or two. The default value is 1 vs 1. Every other time this option is set to on, the secondary leader on player 1's team toggles between [[Brittany]] and [[Charlie]].

*'''Number of Pikmin''': Allows players to choose the starting number of Pikmin (excluding those buried), for each team individually, in increments of five. If the chosen number of starting Pikmin plus the number of Pikmin buried in the wild exceeds 50, the number of starting Pikmin will be decreased accordingly. The option to start with 1 Pikmin is also available. The maximum amount is 50, and the default value is 5 for each team.

===Using items===
===Strategies===
Just as always, there is a proper time and way to use all items.  
{{guide}}
*[[File:Bingo Battle 10 icon.png|20px]] / [[File:Bingo Battle 5 icon.png|20px]]: These items are best used if the Pikmin count isn't at the maximum of 50. It is also used well after losing Pikmin to an enemy. Note that if the Pikmin count is at 50, the item will not spawn any more Pikmin, as it is impossible to access the [[Onion]] menu in Bingo Battle.  
====Using items====
*[[File:Bingo Battle Lightning icon.png|20px]]: Use the lightning when the leader has a large group of Pikmin with them. It is best used when the leader is fighting an enemy.  
Just as always, there is a proper time and way to use each item.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Rock Storm icon.png|20px]]: This is also best used when the leader is with a large group of Pikmin. Try not to use it if your opponent is near an enemy, as the rocks will destroy the enemy.  
*'''More Pikmin''': Because you can have no more than 50 Pikmin, you shouldn't use this if the sum goes over 50, otherwise it will be a waste.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Ultra-Spicy Spray icon.png|20px]]: Best used before fighting a miniboss. It is also good to use it before fighting your opponent's Pikmin. Also good to use if any Pikmin are not flowered yet.  
*'''Lightning''': Use the lightning when the opponent's leader has a large group of Pikmin with them. It is best used when the leader is busy fighting an enemy.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Enemy Annihilator icon.png|20px]]: Use this with as many enemies on screen as possible. If there is just one enemy left to win, find it and then use the powerup.  
*'''Rock Storm''': This is also best used when the leader is with a large group of Pikmin. Try not to use it if your opponent is near an enemy, as the rocks will destroy the enemy.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Warp icon.png|20px]]: Use it when your opponent is near an item or enemy that they need to win. Also good to use when they are trying to steal your Victory Macaroon.  
*'''Ultra-Spicy Spray''': Best used before fighting a mini-boss. It is also good to use it before fighting your opponent's Pikmin. Finally, it is also good to use if any Pikmin are not flowered yet.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Bomb icon.png|20px]]: Best to use whenever necessary. As always, use it to destroy enemies. Alternatively, try using it on any of your opponent's Pikmin trying to carry back an object.  
*'''Enemy Annihilator''': Use this with as many enemies on screen as possible. If there is just one enemy left to win, find it and then use the powerup.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Shuffle icon.png|20px]]: The Shuffle should be used when your opponent is close to a victory.  
*'''Warp''': Use it when your opponent is near an item or enemy that they need to win. Also good to use when they are trying to steal your Victory Macaroon.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Mine icon.png|20px]]: This is essentially just another bomb rock. You can use it on enemies and obstacles, but it should be put onto an object that your opponent needs to win. Therefore, when they try to get it, they will lose Pikmin. Placing it near the Onion is also good. Try to keep it out of view as well, so the leader won't notice it at first.  
*'''Bomb''': Best to use whenever necessary. As always, use it to destroy enemies. Alternatively, try using it on any of your opponent's Pikmin trying to carry back an object.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Macaroon Recovery icon.png|20px]]: Use it if your Macaroon is being taken. It won't have any effect otherwise.  
*'''Shuffle''': The Shuffle should be used when your opponent is close to a victory.
*'''Mine''': This is essentially just another bomb rock. You can use it on enemies and obstacles, but it should be put onto an object that your opponent needs to win. Therefore, when they try to get it, they will lose Pikmin. Placing it near their Onion is also good. Try to keep it out of view as well, so the opponent won't notice it at first.
*'''Macaroon Recovery''': Use it if your Macaroon is being taken. It won't have any effect otherwise.


===Avoiding Items===
====Avoiding items====
These are defensive strategies if any items are used against you.  
These are defensive strategies if any items are used against you.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Lightning icon.png|20px]]: Disband your Pikmin, or, if they are carrying an object, move away from them.  
*'''Lightning''': Disband your Pikmin before it gets used or, if they are carrying an object, move away from them. You can also switch to another leader, if you know that said leader and their Pikmin will suffer less from the shock.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Rock Storm icon.png|20px]]: The same strategy as the lightning applies here. If possible, go near some enemies, as the rocks can potentially kill them.  
*'''Rock Storm''': If you see it coming, the same strategy as the lightning can also be used. If they're already coming, just keep moving forward, and if possible, go near some enemies, as the rocks can potentially kill them.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Enemy Annihilator icon.png|20px]]: Try to use this to your advantage and carry back any enemies affected by this.  
*'''Enemy Annihilator''': Try to use this to your advantage and carry back any enemies affected by this. Because the opponent might use it to kill enemies they need, try salvaging those enemies before the opponent can reach them.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Shuffle icon.png|20px]]: There is no real way to avoid this. However, by having many items on the board, it is possible that it will still result in you being one away.  
*'''Bomb''': If you see the opponent rushing in for you, keep in mind that they could have bomb rocks, so try to avoid them or bait them into using the bomb in a way where you can escape.
*[[File:Bingo Battle Mine icon.png|20px]] / [[File:Bingo Battle Bomb icon.png|20px]]: Make sure you listen for the bomb detonating if it is out of view.
*'''Shuffle''': There is no real way to avoid this. However, by having many items on the board, it is possible that it will still result in you being one away.
*'''Mine''': If you can notice that your opponent has one, keep a look out to see where they put it. Otherwise, if you think a mine is set somewhere, try sending mine-checker Pikmin ahead of the group, so that if there's a detonation, only one Pikmin perishes. Remember to also rotate the camera around before recovering important objects, as a mine might reveal itself from a different angle.
