Overrun Laboratory

The Overrun Laboratory is an area that can be accessed by a large busted blast door in the depths of Fungal Grotto in Pikmin: Infection in Progress. The Overrun Laboratory once acted as a scientific research base within the deepest recesses of PNF-404, until its occupants fell victim to the infection. Lining the walls of the laboratory are counters, desks, and shelves. On the counters are beakers and chemical vials, all of which are shattered beakers or expired samples of chemicals. On the desks lie inactive lamps, illegible files, and dried writing utensils. On the shelves there are ruined books that are far too weathered to read. The former occupants, once live and healthy Hocotatians, Koppaites, and Pikmin, are now all but zombified. The laboratory is split up into somewhat of a small labyrinth of rooms. On one of the walls is a steel panel that is pressed subtly into the wall. Two Electrodes spread throughout Fungal Grotto can be repaired to access the large chamber behind it, which resides a secret boss, and other humanoid constructs found nowhere else. No friendly Pikmin are found here due to the interior nature of the area.

Overrun Laboratory's environmental hazard is Darkness.

Enemies
Infected Pikmin - Nineteen scattered throughout. Will cluster behind nearby Infected Scientists, with a maximum of five. Prioritizes Infected Scientists with a smaller group, an example being the two Scientists within close proximity of each other. Has an identical attack pattern to Mushroom Pikmin when initiated into combat without an Infected Scientist to guide them.

Infected Scientist - Five scattered throughout the area. Two are in the same room. Will utilize Infected Pikmin if any are following it. If initiated into combat without any usable Infected Pikmin, it will claw at the President to injure him.

Mushroom Pikmin - Three scattered throughout the area. Will latch on to allied Pikmin or the President to injure them. Does not revert back into a normal Pikmin, and glows faintly. Ignored by Infected Scientists and Infected Pikmin.

Skeletal Wollywog - One disguised as a heap of bone in a dark corner of an uninhabited room. Will animate and initiate combat upon being approached, and will attack any other individual in the laboratory if the President is far enough away.

Corrupted Animunculi - Multiple can appear during the secret boss fight against the Awakened Titan. Dives into President or his Pikmin, but injures itself in the process, and is generally weak. Deactivates and melts into the floor upon the Awakened Titan's defeat.

Boss
Awakened Titan - Encountered upon flipping a switch to open the door that closes behind the President and his squad upon entering the secret chamber. Uses a variety of attacks and is resilient, but cannot move and can be crippled if enough damage is done to independent parts. Will open the door to the chamber permanently upon defeat.
