Lots of Buds here. Make a mix of Blue, Red & Yellow Pikmin and use an ultra-spicy spray if you want. If you want to collect everything, time will get tight. The Key should be behind one of the many gates, as will the hole.

We meet the Shower Room style and you will need all Pikmin types. A Fiery Blowhog should have The Key. There will be lots of Danger Chimes here. Take The Key and exit.
