Colosseum

This article or section needs to be cleaned up, either its format or general style. Notes: The article is, in my opinion, horribly designed. Major cleanup is necessary.

An Armored Cannon Beetle Larva expels a boulder

Colosseum is an arena for 2-Player Battle in Pikmin 2. The arena has a snowy theme to it. The layout is mostly many open rooms filled with enemies that are connected by corridors. It is home to many Dwarf Red and Snow Bulborbs as well as a few Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae, which gives this stage a mass number of enemies but no hazards.

Strategies

The Dwarf Red Bulborbs here may give up yellow marbles when defeated.

The Cannon Beetle Larva does not hold any reward at all, despite its carcass. They may be a great way to deal with the pesky Dwarf Bulborbs, as their rocks have enough strength in them to kill a Dwarf instantly.

Lots of dwarf bulborbs are resting in this area. Depending on what configuration of the colosseum you are in, it may depend on how many armored cannon beetle larva are in the area. Usually, the cannon beetles rest close by at least one player's onion, meaning if you're low on Pikmin population you may want to pick these up for a boost of Pikmin.

Like previously noted, the dwarf red bulborbs may drop yellow marbles, sometimes common, other times quite rarely. If you have a configuration with many cannon beetles, at least one may be holding a marble. The snow bulborbs may also become an annoyance, as they usually unite in a gang of three, four, and quite rarely five.

This is also one of the arenas with no hazards, apart from the enemies. The volatile dweevil from the roulette wheel may be a very dangerous enemy in this arena, as most of the colosseum's walls are quite narrow and it is easy to get cornered by an unwanted enemy.

The Colosseum can be home to many eggs, meaning more nectar for your Pikmin or, quite rarely, some ultra spicy/bitter sprays. These can be used against your opponent or against powerful enemies, such as the cannon beetles. It is recommended to break all of the eggs to get the sprays and nectar before your opponent can.
