Bamboo Garden

The Bamboo Garden is one of the first caves encountered in Pikmin 2: New Year. The cave is found in the Jungle of Repose. The sublevels are the first caves to contain bamboo; one of the new plants in the game. The cave is full of weaker enemies such as Dwarf Forest Bulborbs. Purple Pikmin are also encountered in the Bamboo Garden. There are × 500 worth of treasures, with the Spherical Atlas being the main treasure.

How to Reach
"Very interesting.. warm air and scents of flora approach from this hole.

Perhaps we could check if there's anything interesting in the underground?

''Have no fear, the group of Pikmin will join you. I will dispatch my research pod.''

Approach the hole and press A if you so choose to enter!"

The cave is found where the Emergence Cave is located in Pikmin 2. In order to get to the cave, you must tear down a gate, and then kill the Easter Chrysanthemum guarding the cave. Small, glowing butterflies can be seen around the cave.
