The '''Iridescent Glint Beetle''' ({{j|オオガネモチ|Oogane Mochi|Large Riches Holder}}) is an enemy in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Iridescent Glint Beetles resemble golden, sparkling [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s, but are much rarer. In comparison to the Flint Beetle, it stays above ground for less time but, on average, stands still for slightly longer every time it stops moving. In ''Pikmin 4'', however, it is a much more jittery creature, running away almost constantly.

=== Dalmo's Notes ===
{{transcript|The golden shine on its gleaming carapace really is gold! It's in this little darling's nature to collect gold from the soil. As you might expect, it's extremely rare to see one in person. I'd never hurt it, so I hope to have one appear before me someday!}}

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|Like Flint Beetles, Glint Beetles surface for only a few seconds at a time. When one appears near your troops, you'll have a couple of chances to aim and throw before it goes below the surface again. In a few rare circumstances, Iridescent Glint Beetles hold treasure.|block=y}}

==Behavior==
Glint Beetles move fast, making them difficult targets to pin, but at the same time, they have no offensive attributes, so an encounter with one can only end up as a chase. They hide underground, emerging only when approached. Much like the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the [[Doodlebug]], the Glint Beetle can only be damaged by a direct throw to its back, which will cause it to flip over and drop nectar, or in some cases, a treasure. Purple Pikmin can hit the creature with much more ease, as the shock wave caused by the impact of one is enough to flip a Beetle over. Once a Glint Beetle has dropped all it was carrying, it will quickly scurry back underground. It will do the same thing if left undisturbed for too long.

==Behavior==
{{Game help|p4|Will the Glint Beetles with treasure disappear if left unattended?}}
The Iridescent Glint Beetle will move slightly more erratically than its relatives, but not too much so. Once activated, it springs out from the ground, and will move quickly, usually away from the captain. If a Pikmin is landed directly onto one's back, it will flip over briefly and drop something (depending on which game). Once a Glint Beetle has been flipped over three times, it will quickly retreat underground. The same thing will happen if the bug is simply left undisturbed above ground for too long.

=== Pikmin 2 ===
When spawned above ground, the Glint Beetle drops three [[Randomness|random]]-colored 5-[[pellet]]s when first hit, and then a dose of [[ultra-spicy spray]] on the second and third hits. Underground, the pellets are swapped for three doses of [[nectar]]. If the ultra-spicy spray has not been unlocked yet, it just drops more nectar (three doses) in place of the sprays. Some of the Glint Beetles that are underground drop treasure instead, and the Beetles in Challenge Mode always drop a [[Lustrous Element]]. A Glint Beetle that drops a treasure will disappear after being hit the first time, dropping no nectar or sprays. If a Glint Beetle that would drop treasure is allowed to disappear before dropping its treasure, it will reappear elsewhere in the sublevel. Just like the Iridescent Flint Beetle, if it's killed whilst petrified, it will shatter instantly, leaving nothing behind except any potential treasure.

=== Pikmin 4 ===
Glint Beetles will never drop Pellets above ground in this game. By default, they will drop six doses of [[Ultra-spicy spray]]- one dose on the first hit, two on the second, and three on the third. However, the Glint Beetle found in [[Giant's Hearth]] will drop a [[Disc of Amusing Wisdom]] instead on the third hit, replacing the triple dose of spray. The Glint Beetle in [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]]'s third story Dig Deep will drop a [[Difficult-Choice Totem]], [[Chance Totem]], and [[Go-with-the-Flow Totem]] when hit three times.

==Strategy==
{{guide}}
Simply throw Pikmin at the creature's back while it is standing still for a few seconds and repeat until you have reaped all its items. Try to predict the creature's movements, and throw your Pikmin one step ahead of it. Be accurate but quick, as the Glint Beetle will only remain active for so long. Purple Pikmin work especially well, and if you have a good number of them, you can throw quickly without worrying about accuracy at all.

[[File:Glint Beetle SSB3DS.jpg|thumb|The Glint Beetle in Smash Run.]]
{{external|the enemy in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series|[[smashwiki:Iridescent Glint Beetle|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}
The Iridescent Glint Beetle appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'', as an enemy in each version's exclusive mode, as well as a trophy.

On Smash Run on the 3DS, the Iridescent Glint Beetle, like in the actual game, is a harmless enemy, and will drop gold if the player hits it. The quantities increase the more the player hits it, just like in ''Pikmin 2''. Similarly to the actual games, they move rather fast, and are hard to hit. Most enemies that fall off edges drop their spoils; the Glint Beetle will not do so.

On Smash Tour on the Wii U version, it is an enemy that moves around the board, and bumping against it will make it drop some fighters for the player to use.

The Iridescent Glint Beetle also appears as a spirit in {{ssbu}}.

==Naming==

{{naming

|internal   = Internally, its name is <code>wealthy</code>, which is a translation of its Japanese nickname. In {{p4}}, it is changed to <code>OOKOGANE</code>. The internal name of the Iridescent Flint Beetle is <code>KOGANE</code>.
|prerelease = In an [[Unused content in Pikmin 2|earlier version of the game's script]], inside the Japanese Disc, it is revealed that the enemy used to be called "Giant Flint Beetle".{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script#Names|Pikmin 2/Early English Script|The Cutting Room Floor}} This is likely due to its Japanese nickname translating to "Large Riches Holder" as opposed to the Iridescent Flint Beetle's "Small Riches Holder".

==Trivia==
*Though they bury underground after a while, this does not happen in the Piklopedia; this is the same with the Iridescent Flint Beetle and the Doodlebug.
*The Iridescent Glint Beetle is the only enemy in the {{ps}} that doesn't appear in {{p3}} but appears as a trophy in {{ssb4}}.
*As of ''Pikmin 4'', the Iridescent Glint Beetle is said to be a "variety of Beetle", with the word "Beetle" being strangely capitalized. In the Japanese version, it is stated to be a type of {{j|鋼虫|Kōchū|Steel Bug|f=tp}}.
