Snowy Descent

The Bamboo Garden is a cave encountered in the Jungle of Repose in Pikmin 2: New Year. This cave is one of the earlier caves, with particulary weaker enemies. It is still dangerous, as sublevels are filled to the brim with never ending fire geysers. The sublevels are coated in a thick layer of snow, filled with Hairy Bulborbs and Snow Bulborbs. There are × 685 worth of treasures, with the Treasure Gauge being the main treasure.

How to Reach
"As I expected, this cave appears to have a lot of snow, despite locating underground.

I am picking up signals of fire from some points too, a chimney powerhouse!

''At least we can keep warm. Be on your guard!"''

To get to the area, tear down the bramble wall blocking your progress. After that, make sure to kill the Toady Bloyster and Mamuta guarding the entrance. Then enter the cave.

Sublevel 1
The sublevel is filled with many Sheargrubs. Kill them all and collect the treasure.

Sublevel 3
There are no threatening enemies in this level. However, there are deadly fire geysers. Take them out before getting the treasures. Use Purple Pikmin or Red Pikmin to take out the Napalm Dweevils so they aren't a nuisance.

Sublevel 4
Be aware of the Insomniac Snitchbug, as it can leave your Pikmin defenseless to the other enemies in the sublevel. Make sure to kill the armada of Bulborbs with Purple Pikmin in order to obtain the two treasures in the sublevel.

Sublevel 5
The Empress contains the final treasure. You can either swarm the side of her body, or attack her from the head on. Once she starts shaking off your Pikmin, whistle them all and quickly run out of the arena before you are squished. Repeat this until you defeat the Empress, and collect the treasure. Ultra-spicy sprays are most effective.

Trivia

 * The boss battle in the final floor may seem like other normal sublevels seen before in the Pikmin games. It may seem like the Bulblax is out of place being in a non-boss sublevel. However, the cave unit is labeled as a boss arena, being used in Sublevel 3 of the Snagret Hole in Pikmin 2.
 * "At least we can keep warm. Be on your guard!" is actually "Atleast we can keep warm. Be on your guard!" most likely due to a spacing error in game.
