- For a list of treasures as well as their attributes, see Treasure Hoard.
The first collectible treasure in Pikmin 2, the Courage Reactor.
Treasures are items scattered across the areas in Pikmin 2 that must be retrieved in order to repay Hocotate Freight's debt. Each one is worth a certain amount of Pokos.
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 caves' 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".
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 bosses.
In total, there are 201 unique treasures to collect, with some returning in Pikmin 3 as fruits, 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 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 versions of the game. Thus, there is a total of 26,985 Pokos' worth in treasures in the US version, 26,790 in the European version and 26,181 in the Japanese version.
Some treasures can be found inside of enemies, while others are 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 article: Treasure Hoard.
The Treasure Hoard is an in-game 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.
Prototype Detector
- Main article: Prototype Detector.
The Prototype Detector is an Exploration Kit upgrade. With it, a needle appears 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.
Brands
- For Nintendo brand references, see reference.
Some treasures are branded objects that exist in the real world.

Trivia
- Out of all treasures, the following are also fruits in Pikmin 3: Citrus Lump, Cupid's Grenade, Disguised Delicacy, Insect Condo and Sunseed Berry.
- All treasures in the overworld areas emit a faint oscillating sound, not unlike the ambient noises heard in caves. They only emit this sound while they are not being carried by Pikmin.
