2-Player Battle is a mode in Pikmin 2. 2 Players duke it out generating an army of up to 50 pikmin. Each player tries to win by either getting their opponent's marble or getting 4 yellow marbles. The players can get cherries to give them a boost, like dropping enemies at the other players. In Pikmin 3, this mode was succeeded by Bingo Battle.
Rules[]
The 2 players are the two captains, each with a certain type of Pikmin. Player 1 is Olimar with Red Pikmin. Player 2 is Louie with Blue Pikmin. The player choose their handicap of Pikmin spawning in sets of 5 up to 50. Having 50 means no more Pikmin spawn and any pellets or enemy bodies. When different Pikmin approach, they will fight and then defeat each other. This will respawn the pikmin at the base. Otherwise, it plays like the regular game, complete with both sprays.
The main goal is to get the opponent's marble (based on the treasure Crystallized Telepathy and Crystallized Clairvoyance) or 4 Yellow marbles (Crystallized Telekinesis) scattered through the stage. Enemies can hold the yellow marbles occasionally so players must beat them to win while others must dig them up. The opposing player can stop the opponent from carrying back to the base by sending Pikmin which forces them to fight and drop the thing they are carrying including marbles. The opponent losing the captain or getting Pikmin Extinction is a also a win condition but hard to pull off since the player cannot hurt the opponent without power-ups.

Cherry[]

Trivia[]
- The Cherries are easily glitched in that one can find a few cherries in one spot. The reason this occurs is that the cherry spawn is on a timer that checks if the cherry is in the spawn position. However, the cherries are affected by physics and spawn in the air so, when they land, they bounce out of the checking area and starts up the spawning timer
