There's one ultra-spicy spray and a large assortment of enemies. Swarming the sheargrubs is advised, as they don't bear much of a threat to the large force of Pikmin. The Bulborbs should be dealt with by throwing Pikmin on them, then the ultra-spicy spray should be used while facing the Beady Long Legs. With any remaining time, the treasures can be collected.
