Challenger's Cavern

Challenger's Cavern is the first cave in Darkness Plateau. It is a very difficult, long cave with almost all of the enemies in the game living in it, but there are many treasures inside. It has 16 sublevels.

Sublevel 1
This sublevel seems peaceful at first, but once you step out of the Research Pod's light, things will turn ugly. Burrowing monsters live everywhere in this sublevel. There are two treasures here.

Enemies

 * Shearwig x8
 * Cloaking Burrow-nit x2
 * Fiery Dweevil x1

Sublevel 2
A large sublevel with a tiled appearance. There are four rooms connected by maze-like passages, as well as several Blowhogs. There are three treasures here. Watch out for the pools of acid!

Enemies

 * Fiery Blowhog x1
 * Watery Blowhog x1
 * Voltage Blowhog x1
 * Poisonous Blowhog x1
 * Sticky Blowhog x1
 * Acidic Blowhog x1
 * Mortar Blowhog x1
 * Woolly Blowhog x1 (falls)

Sublevel 3
The entire sublevel is like a big slope, with boulders rolling down occasionally. You always start in a safe room at the bottom. The enemies here often fall from the ceiling, so watch out! There is only one treasure here.

Enemies

 * Armored Cannon Beetle Larva x2
 * Dwarf Red Bulborb x5 (falls)
 * Dwarf Bulbear x2 (falls)
 * Watery Bulblax x1
 * Flame Jet x4

Sublevel 4
This sublevel is similar to the previous one, but there is a large portion at the bottom. The slope is much steeper, so you must throw Pikmin onto the platforms sticking out and then use the small geysers to follow them. No boulders roll down the slope, but sometimes they'll fall from the ceiling. There are two treasures here.

Enemies

 * Juggling Dirigibug x1
 * Anode Dweevil x3
 * Dwarf Orange Bulborb x2 (falls)
 * Poison Pipe x4

Sublevel 5
A maze-like sublevel floating above a bottomless void. It's full of dangerous bomb-rocks and electric traps, so be careful. There are three treasures here.

Enemies

 * Grey Wollywog x4
 * Blazing Cheragor x1
 * Toxic Dumple x8
 * Earthquake Crawbster x1 (falls)
 * Charging Blowhog x2

Sublevel 6
A rest level, with some eggs and candypop buds. It's simple in its layout, and has no treasures.
