Pikmin 2 - Challenge Mode 23: Hidden Garden
The Hidden Garden is tackled by two players.
You start with zero Pikmin, but two Bulbmin. You need to make a return profit on these substitutes. But the first thing to do in this stage is to throw these at as many Unmarked Spectralids (butterflies) as you can, for they will fly away soon. You may get some nectar or sprays.
There are Queen Candypop Buds you have to find in this stage. But they will only appear when you explore a specific spot (and drop down when you find them). Meanwhile, there are a bunch of Skitter Leafs lying around, and each of them have treasure while one of them holds The Key, but they are a pain to knock out. There are also marbles to collect. So you will have to keep moving and slowly make progress in this stage to avoid timing out.
I believe this challenge stage is a part of the Shower Room, a cave I ventured through recently in single-player mode.
