After defeating the two enemies, you will find it shocking that there is a third enemy in the room with you. The giant red and white wall isn’t a wall, but another enemy called Spotty Bulbear. It won’t attack you until you attack it first, so make sure to charge into it to give it a surprise attack. Once the enemy is down, pick up the item that it was guarding.

Go back to the ship and look for a wall. Charge into the wall to bring it down and have your Pikmins do the rest of the work.

While your Pikmins are working to bring down the wall, head to the opposite side the area and there, you can find mushrooms and sticky mold on the ground. Charge through and take down the mushrooms to remove the sticky mold to reveal a jumping pad for you to use.

With more Pikmins at your arsenal, you will be able to take down the three enemies in the next room, two Bulborbs and one Spotty Bulbear. Make use of the charging ability to take down the smaller enemies with ease, then throw your Pikmins at the larger enemy. Eventually, the large one will fall down, which should only leave 5 enemies left to defeat.

In the room after the last enemy, there will be a Bulborb, a Spotty Bulbear and some more Red Pikmins in the ground. Throw all your Pikmins at the two enemies and immediately go to the Red Pikmins on the ground and pluck them out. If the enemies are still alive, then throw them as well to speed up the process.
