Piles of '''gold nuggets''' are [[treasure]]s in {{p4}}. Each nugget in the pile can be taken by a Pikmin and delivered to the [[S.S. Beagle]] for [[Sparklium]]. Once all nuggets are taken the pile will disappear. These are comparable to real-world {{w|gold nugget}}s. On the mini-map, they are displayed differently from other treasures, as instead of being represented by a star, they're represented by a small pile of three.

There are 15 Gold Nuggets in the northeastern corner of sublevel 3 of the [[Secluded Courtyard]]. To collect them, you must throw between 1 and 15 Pikmin at them. The nearby [[Sunsquish]] should be dealt with first, and unless you're using [[Blue Pikmin]], so should the [[water geyser]] in the way.

There are 50 Gold Nuggets sitting on the ground near the pool at the top of sublevel 2 of the [[Doppelgänger's Den]]. There are water hazards nearby which should be eliminated prior to collecting the treasure. To collect the treasure, throw between 1 and 50 Pikmin at it.

There are 30 Gold Nuggets sitting on the ground in the bottom right corner of sublevel 3 of the [[Doppelgänger's Den]]. It is guarded by a [[Flighty Joustmite]], which should be defeated before attempting to collect this treasure, although it is not strictly necessary. To collect this treasure, you must throw between 1 and 30 Pikmin at it.

There are 10 Gold Nuggets inside of a set of ceramic pots in the bottom half of the arena in sublevel 4 of the [[Doppelgänger's Den]]. To collect them, you must first break the pots with a [[Rush]] from [[Oatchi]], then throw between 1 and 10 Pikmin at them.

There are 15 Gold Nuggets in the far right corner of sublevel 2 of the [[Plunder Palace]]. They are guarded by a [[Whiptongue Bulborb]], which should be defeated before attempting to collect the treasure. To collect them, you must throw between 1 and 15 Pikmin at the pile.

There are 10 Gold Nuggets engulfed inside of a sticky mold hazard near the top right of the overworld. To collect them, you must first clear out the mushrooms to remove the mold, causing the nuggets to show up. Then, throw 10 Pikmin at them.

There are 15 Gold Nuggets lying in a fallen-over clay pot left of the center of sublevel 4 of the [[Subterranean Swarm]]. They are guarded by a [[Shearwig]], which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect them, you must first clear the sticky mold in front of it. This will prompt a swarm of Mitites to emerge from the ground and induce fear in your Pikmin and [[Oatchi]], requiring you to round them all up again. Then, throw between 1 and 15 Pikmin at the pile.
