Pikmin 2 Hints

On the Hostile Territory stage in the multiplayer mode, if you walk into a bomb-rock, you'll pick it up.

Throw with the "A" button.
Drop with the "B" button.

You can also pick up bomb-rocks that are being set off. Just remember to get far away from it before it blows up in your face.

In sublevel 4 there are tons of emperor blublax right? Well when you get to this sublevel, get all your pikmin and put them all in one spot where they will be safe from the emperors. There should be an emperor next to the ship when you enter the level. If you can, lure him into the main room with all the BOMBROCKS. (They will be the most useful object on this sublevel) Okay you know the emperors use their tongues to slurp up pikmin, well they will do the same to the bombrocks. There are two ways you can use the bombrocks, 1) have the bulblax slurp them up ( this way is best, when the bombs explode, the bulblax takes reasonable damage, you don't have to lift a finger, and the bulblax is stunned be the blast in side him) 2) the other ting to do is harder yet does more damage I think, What you do is punch a bombrock with olimar (or the pres.) and lure the emperors over to the rock when it explodes, doing this causes more damage if I remember correctly, but doesn't stun the bulbus bulblax. This way is also more hazerdous to you because you could get hit by the blast if your not careful.

Go in the pikopedia and go to the votile dwevil (the dwevil with the bomb rock) then throw a pik pik carott at it. if you do it corectly the bomb rock will glow and in a few seconds the votile dwevil will blow up. just for fun.

Use yellow pikmin. They are the ONLY ones that don't get killed by electricity. You should destroy the Water attack thing on Titan Dweevil first, for it has a very wide attack range, then the electricity, then poison, and finally, fire. Once you've destroyed the electricity attack, feel free to use any other color pikmin, but yellows fly the highest, therefore making Titan Dweevil easier to hit. I REALLY hope I helped any of you having trouble with Titan Dweevil.

Well, I'm not gonna tell you what this scene is, but... If you get a pink/purple flower on every challenge mode level, you unlock a scene, telling you the truth about why you're going everywhere to repay Hocotate Freight's debt.
