Explosions and electricity are some of the hazards

Hostile Territory is a Pikmin 2 arena for 2-player battle. It is also one of the areas with a mass number of enemies.

• Anode Beetles,
• Careening Dirigibugs
• Bomb rocks
• Cherries (From the sky)
• Yellow Marbles (Some buried in the ground)

Hazards:

• Electric nodes
• Fire
• Water

Dangers:

• Throwing Pikmin into the endless void.

Bomb Rock Strategies:

• Unlike the single player game, you can pick up large bomb-rocks by simply by walking up to them while holding down the A button.
• When your opponent is occupied and cannot react, you can get rid of a number of his/her Pikmin by throwing a bomb-rock at a group of idle Pikmin. Note that bomb-rocks are thrown further than the pointer's reach.
• You can also lure enemy Pikmin into attacking you and then detonate a bomb-rock near yourself, killing all the offending Pikmin and leaving you damaged but still alive, that is assuming you haven't taken too much damage already.
• If you're feeling evil and your opponent has 15+ pikmin with him, you can start a bomb rock's count down, than pick it up and chase your opponent. For maximum pikmin casulalties, just let the bomb explode in your hands.
• Note that you can use an ultra-bitter spray on a live bomb rock to stop it's countdown for 8 seconds.

Bomb Rock Controls
