The Tremendous Sniffer (オフランス?, lit.: "The France") is a fruit in Pikmin 3. It is a pear. This fruit provides 2 cups of juice (one in Ultra-Spicy mode) for the leaders, and there is only one in the game, which is found in the Twilight River. In Mission Mode, it appears in Silver Lake Remix, where it is valued at 200 pokos.

Collecting the fruit

 
Location of the Tremendous Sniffer and bomb rocks.

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

The Tremendous Sniffer is found in the Twilight River. It is located past a reinforced wall in the area with the clipboards and an Arachnode. To obtain it, bomb rocks are required, because of the wall. The only bomb rocks in the area are found on the tin can near where the Puffy Blowhog is located. Throw 3 bombs to break the wall and recover the fruit.

There is a glitch that forgoes the use of bomb rocks. Order any Pikmin to grab onto the fruit. The next day, the fruit will somehow appear outside of the wall, making for an easy retrieval.

Collecting the treasure

There is a Tremendous Sniffer inside of a Puffstool left of the center of the Primordial Thicket. To collect this treasure, you must first defeat the Puffstool and clear out the nearby sticky mold; then, throw 12 Pikmin at it.

There is a Tremendous Sniffer inside of the third Emperor Bulblax in the center of Sublevel 5 of the Cavern for a King in the Primordial Thicket. To collect this treasure, you must first defeat all three Emperor Bulblaxes. Then, throw 12 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Brittany's notes

  US version
This specimen has a sweet flavor and a soft texture...kind of like my Auntie Bea. The shape reminds me of her nose, too. So elegant! So glamorous! She's the envy of the family with that nose... I miss my aunt. I want to go home.

This specimen has a sweet flavour and a soft texture...somehow reminiscent of my Auntie Bea. Her nose is shaped a bit like this fruit, too. So elegant! So glamorous! She's the envy of the family with that nose...I miss my aunt. I want to go home!
