The Collector's Room is the thirteenth level in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. It is named after the large amount of treasures to collect, particularly the Nintendo related objects in the final sublevel. Very little time is given for each level, so it is recommended to simply find The Key and move on to the next level.

Sublevel 1

• Theme: Soil
• Music: Fire
• Time: 40 (80 seconds)
• Starting Pikmin:
  •  White Pikmin × 50 (flower)
• Treasures:
  •  Eternal Emerald Eye × 1
  •  Master's Instrument × 1
  •  Pink Menace × 1 (fully buried)
  •  Repugnant Appendage × 1
  •  The Key × 1 (inside Red Bulborb)
• Enemies:
  •  Red Bulborb × 1
• Obstacles:
  • None
• Vegetation:
  •  Horsetail × 2
• Others:
  • None

The level has a simple Y-shaped figure with the items scattered randomly around. An easy strategy is to wake the Bulborbs up, then run as far from them as they can, until you're out of their range. They will then walk back their original spot. Follow them (not too closely, or they'll notice) and the moment they reach their original spot and stop walking, throw Pikmin at them. They will fall asleep and take a few seconds to wake up, and with 50 Pikmin, they will likely lose a third of their health by the time they wake.
