'''Treasures''' are items scattered across the [[area]]s in {{p2}} that must be retrieved in order to repay [[Hocotate Freight]]'s debt. Each one is worth a certain amount of [[Poko]]s. The concept of a treasure also exists in {{p3}}, but only in [[Mission Mode]], where [[fruit]]s and other valuable collectibles are all referred to as "treasure".

Being the main source of Pokos in the game, and their full collection being necessary to complete the adventure, their importance in the game is quite high. As such, treasures above ground can be commonly found behind some challenge that must be overcome in order to collect it. Underground treasures are usually easier to reach, but because of the [[cave]]s' cramped nature, it might be hard to retrieve some treasures without first killing [[enemy|enemies]] that are in the way. A cave must first be exited successfully before the Poko amount of the collected treasures within is counted and they are considered "collected".

Some treasures have special properties in that they add a new ability to the player's arsenal. These belong to the [[Exploration Kit]], and are normally found inside [[Enemy#Boss|bosses]].

In total, there are 201 unique treasures to collect, with some returning in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' as [[fruit]]s, bearing the same name. Treasures are normally objects found in the real world, but given ridiculous names and descriptions by the clueless [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Hocotate ship|his ship]]. Because some items are directly taken from the real world, culture differences are bound to happen. As such, some treasures change in appearance, name, value or index number between [[Region|version]]s of the game. Thus, there is a total of 26,985 Pokos' worth in treasures in the US version, 26,885 in the European version and 26,181 in the Japanese version.

Some treasures can be found inside of enemies, while others are [[Digging|underground]]. Whether a treasure is underground or not depends on the treasure itself, meaning that if the same buried treasure appears in a different game mode or the game files are changed to make it appear elsewhere, then those appearances will be underground as well.

==Treasure Hoard==
{{main|Treasure Hoard}}

The '''Treasure Hoard''' is an in-game [[Menu#Treasure Hoard|menu]] in ''Pikmin 2'' that lists all collected treasures. In this screen, the player is able to learn a treasure's value in Pokos, Olimar and the ship's notes and [[sales pitch]], and a dynamic view around the object using a free [[camera]] mode.

==Treasure Gauge==
{{main|Treasure Gauge}}

The '''Treasure Gauge''' is an [[Exploration Kit]] upgrade. With it, a needle appears [[HUD|on-screen]], and the closer the current leader gets close to a treasure, buried or not, the more to the right the needle turns, and the louder it beeps. When there are no more treasures in a sublevel, the icon on the screen will become grayscale.

==Dynamic weights==
[[File:1 Pikmin required.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Five-man Napsack]] being carried by a single Pikmin.]]

There is a mechanic in ''Pikmin 2'' that can change the weight of some treasures. All of these treasures are inside strong enemies. If after defeating the beast, the player does not have enough Pikmin to carry the treasure, its weight will decrease to match the number of Pikmin (to a minimum of 1). This mechanic prevents the scenario where the player fights against a tough enemy until the end, but can't claim the reward because they are short on Pikmin. This can be triggered either if the player brings too few Pikmin with them to the sublevel, or if too many Pikmin die in battle. The following list contains every treasure possessing this property:

==Trivia==
*Out of all treasures, the following are also [[fruit]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'': [[Citrus Lump]], [[Cupid's Grenade]], [[Disguised Delicacy]], [[Insect Condo]] and [[Sunseed Berry]].
*All treasures in the overworld [[Area|areas]] emit a faint oscillating sound, not unlike the ambient noises heard in [[Cave|caves]]. They only emit this sound while they are not being carried by Pikmin.
:*When all the treasures in a sublevel are collected, those ambient noises will not play when the sublevel is visited again.
*It could be said that the [[Rubber Ugly]] is what represents treasures in ''Pikmin 2'', since it appears as the icon whenever the game needs to refer to treasures: it is the icon used on the saved game selection menu for the number of treasures, and the icon for the Treasure Hoard button while on the area selection screen.
* During a treasure collection cutscene, all other treasures will be invisible.{{cite youtube|aMwSrcuCWbo|showing how other treasures become invisible during the collection cutscene|m=9|s=18}} This also happens in {{p1}} with [[ship part]]s.
