In the official guide

The mission starts with one crew member located near each of the map's Onions. Have the crew member near the Red Pikmin's Onion collect the five Red Pikmin.

Switch to the crew member near the Rock Pikmin's Onion. Gather all eight Rock Pikmin and lead them onto the incomplete bridge at the edge of the platform. Throw all of the Rock Pikmin over to the Dwarf Bulborbs across the gap.

You can achieve a very high score if you minimize the time spent in combat and ignore most of the map's obstacles. Some of the recommended tactics are fairly risky, but using them should allow you to complete this mission much faster than more conventional methods would allow.

Time Limit: 8:00
