Pikmin 2

Get the Sphere Map in the Emergence Cave level.

Whenever you get a treasure called "Flame Of Tomorrow" (matchbox), on top of it is a picture of Bowser from the Mario game series.

These little creatures are parasitic Pikmin that infect and control Bulborbs (see Olimar's Notes in the Piklopedia for more details). They can be found underground (for example, at Green Hole). You will see a Bulborb with a leaf coming out of its back, just like the ones on your Pikmins' heads. Following it around will be a few smaller versions of the parent. Note: There will not be any if you have 100 Pikmin. There are only a few available, and only enough to make up the difference to give you 100 Pikmin/Bulbmin following you around. For example, if you have a party of 97 Pikmin in an area with Bulbmin available, there will be 3. However, if you only have a few Pikmin, there will not be a large quantity to make up the difference and give you a total of 100. When you defeat the parent Bulbmin, the little ones will run around and obey you if you whistle for them. They are immune to fire, water, poison, and electricity, can carry things, and will fight for you. However, they will not come above ground with you. They are only temporary allies that will remain with you only when you are underground.

Use White Pikmin to carry items. They can do it much faster than any other type of Pikmin. However, for items which have a weight value of 100 or more, use a combination of White and Purple Pikmin.

Defeat Beady Long Legs at the bottom of the Spider Citadle and collect the key. Take the key the "recon drone".

Collect 10,000 Pocos.

Press Y at the title screen to make a Chappie appear. Press C-stick Left or C-stick Right to move it around. When it is close to the Pikmin in the logo, press Z to make it eat them. Press L to make the Chappie disappear.

Press X at the title screen to make a beetle appear. Press C-stick Left or C-stick Right to move it around. When the beetle is close to the Pikmin in the logo, they will also begin moving. Press L to make the beetle disappear.

Press R at the title screen to make the Pikmin that make up the title text to change into a "Nintendo" pattern.

Decorated Cannon Beetles resemble fat caterpillars and spit rocks at you and your Pikmin that will lock on to you and chase you around. These rocks will automatically kill any Pikmin they roll over. If there is a Decorated Cannon Beetle near other enemies on the ground, press X to drop off your Pikmin in a safe area, then stand in front of the Beetle to get it to shoot a rock at you. When it does, run behind another enemy so the rock will hit it trying to get to you. The rock will damage or kill the other enemy and leave you unharmed. This trick can be used to get Decorated Cannon Beetles to kill themselves as well, but this is more difficult and requires more open space. Wait for it to spit a rock at you, then run out and around in a circle, stopping behind it.

This Boss is found in the Hole of Heroes and Citadel of Spiders. To defeat it, throw Pikmin at its belly when it roars, and dips.

If you have a good number of White Pikmin when you get to the Boss of the hole you are in (15+), take a few of them into the arena with you, and nothing else. Get the Boss to eat the Pikmin. It will lose a very large amount, if not all, of its health.
