Notes: The article is, in my opinion, horribly designed. Major cleanup is necessary.

Stage preview for the Colosseum arena.

Colosseum is an arena for 2-Player Battle in Pikmin 2. The arena has a theme similar to that of the caves in the Valley of Repose. The layout for the levels here is pretty straightforward. It is home to a large number of Dwarf Red and Snow Bulborbs, as well as a few Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae.

Strategies

  • The Cannon Beetle Larva do not hold any reward at all, besides their carcasses. They may be a great way to deal with the pesky Dwarf Bulborbs, as their rocks have enough strength in them to kill a Dwarf instantly.
  • Lots of Dwarf Bulborbs are resting in this area. Depending on what configuration of the colosseum you are in, it may depend on how many Armored Cannon Beetle Larva are in the area. Usually, the Cannon Beetle Larva rest close to at least one player's onion, meaning if you're low on Pikmin you may want to pick these up to raise the population of your Pikmin.
  • Like previously noted, the Dwarf Red Bulborbs may drop yellow marbles. Sometimes this is common, other times it happens quite rarely. If you have a configuration with many cannon beetles, at least one Dwarf will be holding a marble. The Snow Bulborbs may also become an annoyance, as they usually unite in a gang of three, four, and sometimes even five.
  • This is also one of the arenas with no hazards, apart from the enemies. The volatile dweevil from the roulette wheel may be a very dangerous enemy in this arena, as most of the colosseum's walls are quite narrow and it is very easy to get cornered by an unwanted enemy.
  • The Colosseum can be home to many eggs, meaning more nectar for your Pikmin or, if you're lucky, some Ultra Spicy/Bitter Sprays. These can be used against your opponent or against powerful enemies, such as the cannon beetles. It is recommended to break all of the eggs to get the sprays and nectar before your opponent can.
