Hazard Training is the eighteenth level in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. It focuses on the fire and water hazards.

Sublevel 1

• Theme: Concrete
• Music: Electricity
• 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:
  • [icon] Caustic Dweevil × 1
  •  Dwarf Red Bulborb × 4
  •  Fiery Blowhog × 1
  •  Fiery Bulblax × 1
  •  Fiery 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 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.

ID	Object	Amount	Fall method	Spawn location
20	Egg	1	None	Dead ends
Then it spawns "dead end" objects in as many dead ends as it can. Chances:
ID	Object	Chance	Fall method	Spawn location
20	Egg	100%	None	Dead ends

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.
