A Brass Snagret is on this floor. Use Red Pikmin and Purple Pikmin to attack the snavian. If the snagret does not get stuck in the ground upon emerging, move out of the area. Otherwise, swarm its head or throw Pikmin on it. White Pikmin can also be used to poison and kill it. Once it is defeated, it will spit up The Key. The Mamuta and eggs on this sublevel can be used to reflower any Pikmin with a maturity lower than flower.
