The Anxious Sprout (ソダチノコ?, lit.: "Child of The Growth") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It is a bamboo sprout. In Pikmin 2, the treasure is found on sublevel 5 of the Bulblax Kingdom, a sublevel known for its extreme darkness, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs, Orange Bulborbs, and its maze-like layout along with many bomb-rocks. In Pikmin 4, it is likewise found in a dangerous cave, the Kingdom of Beasts, and is once again found buried, this time entirely.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 2Edit

The strategies shown are just suggestions.

It is mostly buried in the ground, with only a small tip visible. Use White Pikmin to quickly dig it out. Be careful while digging it out, because there is a good chance this will trigger a bomb-rock to fall onto your working Pikmin.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 4Edit

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Kingdom of BeastsEdit

There is an Anxious Sprout completely buried near the southeastern corner of sublevel 2 of the Kingdom of Beasts. It can be located with the Treasure Gauge or Oatchi. It is guarded by an Orange Bulborb, which should be defeated before attempting to collect this treasure, although it is not strictly necessary. To collect this treasure, you must throw 10 Pikmin in its vicinity.

Giant's HearthEdit

It is half-buried in a mound of ash near the mid-north of the overworld. It is guarded by two Dwarf Bulbears, which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect this treasure, you must throw 10 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Olimar's journal

I just realized I completely forgot to put something in my latest expedition report. When carrying fallen creatures or pellets, Pikmin will take them to the Onion of their same color. If a mixed crew of Pikmin are carrying spoils, the color majority dictates the destination. Carry pellets to same-colored Onions to maximize Pikmin seed production.

Sales pitch

A quick-growing plant. Good for garden hobbyists or for a snack. Use it however you see fit!

Schnauz's notesEdit

This plant grows very fast, which makes it a joy to tend to for garden enthusiasts. It also makes a great snack. Isn't it nice when a thing brings happiness to your life in more than one way? I say those are the sorts of things worth keeping around!

Olimar's notesEdit

This plant grows so fast it reminds me of my own children. One day they are little babies in my arms, the next day they've sprouted up into fully fledged people! I have my wife to thank for that. She does so much while I'm so frequently away for work.

Louie's notesEdit

These delights grow fast, but not faster than I can eat them. I'd be happy to prove it.
