The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The Collector's Room is the thirteenth level in Challenge Mode in Pikmin 2. Very little time is given for each level, so it is recommended to simply find The Key and move on to the next level.

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. Then they will 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. This will not work on the third floor, as the sublevel is too small, and the Bulblorb will reach you no matter what. It is recommended to use a spray here. Then, on the final sublevel, use both types of sprays.

Caution: the Gatling Groink here will be standing right in front of the Pod, so the Pikmin should be taken away from the landing position immediately.

The level is a circle with sandy ground and a small path for the Pod or treasures, depending on how the level is generated. The name Collector's Room comes from the Nintendo objects in this sublevel.
