Meanwhile, some Pikmin make their way through a crack at the back of the backhoe, where the battery is. Two Yellow Pikmin approach and interact with a battery post, learning that it transmits [[Electricity|electrical current]]. Delighted, they hold on to the post to feel the discharge through their bodies, and when doing so, their leafs evolve to buds, and begin blinking like a Christmas tree light set. A curious Blue Pikmin nearby attempts to do the same and touches one of the Yellows, electrocuting itself and dying, as evidenced by its [[spirit]].

The scene changes to some Pikmin playing around on a pile of tubes. As a Red Pikmin looks inside one of the tubes that are lying down, a Blue Pikmin behind it kicks it inside. The Red Pikmin slides all the way and comes out on the other end, along with some dust. Other Pikmin come out of tubes, carrying some dust and some treasures, including a mushroom similar to [[mariowiki:Super Mushroom|the one in the ''Mario series]] or a [[Spotcap]]. Above them, a [[mariowiki:Warp Pipe|green tube]] begins shaking, and [[mariowiki:Coin|coins]] come out, accompanied by the coin sound effect from ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]''. The "pipe entered" sound from the same game, and a Red Pikmin with dust on its face comes out; the dust clouds make it look like [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]]. The Mario Pikmin jumps out, accompanied with the jump sound and main theme from ''Super Mario Bros.''

Nearby, some Pikmin investigate what appears to be a small red tube, but turns out to be the snout of a [[Fiery Blowhog]], which soon after, shoots fire. The Yellow and Blue Pikmin in the group run away, but the Red Pikmin braves the fire and jumps on the Blowhog's head; a second Red Pikmin appears and joins the first one. The first Red grabs the enemy's snout, which sends it on a rampage. The other Pikmin try to run away from it and its fire while the Red Pikmin enjoy the ride. Eventually, the Blowhog trips on a rock and slides onto a puddle of mud, where the Pikmin ran off to. After a wave of mud, everybody stops, and the Pikmin stare at the enemy's snout, preparing for an incoming attack. Instead of fire, however, the creature cannot help but spit out some more mud onto the Pikmin. With the exhausted Blowhog now immobile, the Pikmin frolic on the mud and play around its body. For some reason, a Red Pikmin emerges out of the mud and its leaf is quickly turned into a flower.

Back to Olimar, he continues issuing Pikmin to fall on the ramp, and notices some Pikmin approaching with a large melted metal bolt. Surprised, it quickly tells them to put it on the pile. As the camera points to the top of the backhoe, it is possible to notice a hole on the arm piston, indicating that that's where the previous treasure was taken from. At the top of the crane, some Pikmin attempt to pry out a nut with their leaves, but fail. A White Pikmin approaches them, and spits acid at the screw keeping the nut in place, disintegrating it. Two Pikmin hurry to bring the nut away, as the third Pikmin looks down upon the melted metal hole, which gives a clear view of the scene down below. Midway through carrying the nut, it melts into a puddle of iron. The White Pikmin eventually moves to the base of a guard rail at the side of the driver's cabinet in the vehicle, which is a U-shaped metal pole stuck to the cabinet's floor. The White Pikmin melts down most of the bases of each end of the pole. It then kicks one of them, trying to make the guard rail fall, but is stopped by the other Pikmin nearby. After squirming under a Red Pikmin's grasp, it spits out some acid around itself, scaring away the others, while a relaxing Red Pikmin on the pile of screws laughs. During this, the rail eventually does fall down and off the backhoe.

Meanwhile, back at the mud puddle, we can see a Red, a Yellow, and a Blue Pikmin throwing mud at each other, and a Red Pikmin climbing the exhausted Blowhog's head, leaving muddy footprints in the process. Then, a Yellow Pikmin notices a large dark tube with something shining inside. It hurries in and grabs the shiny screw, noticing a second one further inside. As the Pikmin kneels down to grab the second screw, it notices some normal-sized mushrooms and a gigantic mushroom-like bulb. It kicks it twice, and it is revealed that it is actually the hide of a [[Red Bulborb]]. The Pikmin drops the screws and runs away from the tube, screaming. The other Pikmin wonder why that was, until the Bulborb exits its dark den.

The Pikmin all get out of the mud as the Bulborb gives chase. It eventually catches up to a Red and a Blue Pikmin, grabs them with its mouth, and swallows them. They do not die, however, as they eventually pop out out of its nostrils. In terror, they round around its forehead and grab its eye stalks, and later, its eyes. After shaking them off, the Bulborb comes face to face with a worker glove standing upright, with its fingers in a "stop" gesture. Under the glove, one can see Pikmin feet. The hand then extends the index finger, shakes it negatively, points at the Bulborb, and starts spinning the finger in circles, hypnotizing the beast. It then wildly flails the finger about, with the Bulborb quickly facing to the direction it points, and after pointing up, the Bulborb rapidly flips backwards and lands on its back. In this state, a thought bubble appears on the Bulborb, showing the glove, and highlighting the Pikmin feet under it. Upon this realization, the enemy gives chase to the glove, and catches it, shooting away the Pikmin inside.
