Editing Treasure

__TOC__

In ''Pikmin 2'', each treasure is worth a certain amount of [[Poko]]s, much more than [[enemy]] corpses. As such, collecting them is important to repaying the debt. Because they are so important, treasures [[Area|above ground]] can be commonly found behind some challenge that must be overcome in order to collect it. [[Cave|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 [[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".

In total, there are 201 unique treasures to collect, with some returning in {{p3}} 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. Because of this, some treasures change in appearance, name, value or index number between [[Region|version]]s of the game. That said, there is a total of {{pokos|26,985}} worth in treasures in the US version, {{pokos|26,885}} in the European version, and {{pokos|26,181}} in the Japanese version.

Every time a treasure is collected, a cutscene plays, as explained [[Cutscene#Pikmin 2|here]].

==Dynamic weights==

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. The change happens when the treasure pops out of the beast, which means that this feature can be triggered either if the player brings too few Pikmin with them to the sublevel, or if too many Pikmin die in battle. It also means that if the player loses Pikmin after the battle, they risk being unable to carry the reward back.

==Shizakipiki Soda==

The very first treasure that is used to repay the debt in ''Pikmin 2'' is not acknowledged in-game, and is only seen in the opening [[cutscene]]. It is a bottle cap that Olimar brings in his hand as a souvenir to his son. When he drops it after hearing the debt's total amount, the [[Hocotate ship]] beams it up and knocks down {{pokos|100}} from the debt total, turning it into a round {{pokos|10000}}. It is a small white bottle cap, smaller than collectible ones seen in-game, and is slightly bent. Although very hard to see, due to the way it faces from the camera, the face is cyan, has a red border with the white words "SHIZAKIPIKI SODA" written twice, and has a red star in the center. This is a fictional brand, with "piki" being [[Pikmin family#Naming|short for Pikmin]].

* The following treasures from ''Pikmin 2'' reappear as [[fruit]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'': [[Citrus Lump]], [[Cupid's Grenade]], [[Disguised Delicacy]], [[Insect Condo]] and [[Sunseed Berry]].

* While ''Pikmin 3'' does not feature treasures as a main collectible, there are 2 significant treasure-like objects collected during the story: the [[Data Glutton]] and the [[Folded Data Glutton]]. [[Upgrade]]s are also collected like treasures in ''Pikmin 3''.

* In ''Pikmin 2'', 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.
