Order your Pikmin to defeat the nearby enemies in the west area while you go and pluck the buried Pikmin to increase your squad.

Starting with the western area, proceed to the northern area and finish up tasks there, going into the next room in a clockwise pattern.

There's a pipe that you can let Oatchi enter in the eastern room. Switch the controls to Oatchi and press the button to lower the iron fences, creating a path closer to the S.S. Beagle.

Pull the roots in the south room to secure a faster path for your Pikmin when collecting treasures. This makes it so the Pikmin will be able to bring the treasures they're carrying faster to the S.S. Beagle.
Just like Castaways, Dandori Challenges are not tied to a location. You're always going to do them in a specific order regardless of what area you are in.
