When the mission starts, throw one crew member onto the Red Pikmin sprouts on the ledge near the SPERO.
Switch back to the crew member you left in the starting area and use the small squad of Red Pikmin to collect the Golden Sunseed and the Cupid's Grenade on the nearby ledge.
This map contains Candypop Buds that can transform some of the available Pikmin into White Pikmin and Purple Pikmin. Although White Pikmin and Purple Pikmin can be useful, the recommended tactics do not make use of these Pikmin types.
