Despite the similarities, there are some differences: for example, large parts are missing in the later version, and obstacles such as bridges and gates have been changed. The size of the lake to the west has been changed as well. Also, the small piece of land in the south is now the entrance to the [[Shower Room]] and the drain to the lake.

You must navigate around the stumps and use the [[scales]] to get to higher elevation. Alternately, if you are skilled enough, you can throw your Pikmin onto the ledge near the bridge to the right of the large stumps, then carefully guide them to building the bridge. Should any Pikmin fall in the water, quickly whistle them back to you. If you wish, you can bypass the Fiery Blowhog. Then, you must fight a [[Fiery Bulblax]] with [[Red Pikmin]]. After killing the Fiery Bulblax, you have to have your [[White Pikmin]] break down a bramble gate with poison pipes inside. The yellow Pikmin are on the other side of this gate.

-==Changes overtime==
+The '''Perplexing Pool''' is the third area discovered in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' of the four in the game, the last being the [[Wistful Wild]]. It is the wettest area in ''Pikmin 2'', with multiple lakes spread across its length and two of the caves being submerged ([[Submerged Castle|one of them]] permanently). The level contains four [[cave]]s, seven [[treasures]], and a variety of beasts, many of them spending a lot of time in water. The Perplexing Pool is considered a representation of Summer. There are 560 pokos worth of treasure in the US [[Region|version]] and 450 in the European version.
-Additional enemies appear after Day 30. Beady Long Legs appears east of the landing site. It carries no treasure, but instead will drop a great number of 1 pellets, which makes it a quick, effective way editdelete
+The area is noted to bear a number of striking resemblances to [[The Distant Spring]] in [[Pikmin (game)|the first game]], for which reason it can be confidently considered to be the same area of the [[Planet of the Pikmin|Pikmin planet]]. At one point, Olimar points out how much the area has changed since his last visit.
-of raising more Pikmin, as by now, many should be skilled enough to defeat it with ease. After Day 10, [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s will appear. Then, after Day 30, a [[Spotty Bulbear]] will appear, making it similar to the [[Distant Spring]] from the first game. But, the Perplexing Pool has only 1 Spotty Bulbear where the Distant Spring has 6 of them.
+Additional enemies appear after day 30. These creatures are rather difficult to defeat, making it advisable for inexperienced players to complete the area before that day.
+This is a sample of what is heard in the area in terms of music. The more powerful part of music is played when enemies are nearby.

+==General layout==
+The Perplexing Pool has a close resemblance to the [[Distant Spring]] of the first game, though it does have some changes. There is a big area where there were only small islands and water, there is no water in the middle of the area, the [[Shower Room]] is where the [[Massage Machine]] was in ''Pikmin'', the [[Submerged Castle]] is where the [[Chronos Reactor]] was, most of the [[gate]]s are gone, and there are 3 berry plants in the area - 2 in the middle of the area and one in the water. There are some Yellow Wollywogs and one [[Toady Bloyster]] in the water to the left of the landing site.
