The Snack Bean (オツマメ^?, lit.: "Snack Bean") is a treasure in Pikmin 4 that can be found overground in the Sun-Speckled Terrace and Giant's Hearth. It is actually a peanut.

Collecting the treasure

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

Sun-Speckled Terrace

Once at the northwestern section of the area, entered by clearing the Aquiferous Summit, you can drop down from the Porquillion battle arena to the west onto a bag full of dirt. The Snack Bean is buried right next to it inside of a flower pot to the west.

Giant's Hearth

There is a Snack Bean half-buried near the southwestern corner of the grill at the center of the overworld. To collect this treasure, you must throw 2 Blue Pikmin at it, or 2 Pikmin if the clay valve has been constructed and the sprinklers have been turned off. The nearby Masterhops should be dealt with first, although it's not strictly necessary.

Notes

Schnauz's notes

“I love how this stylish bean comes with its very own hard wrapper. It's as if it was made to be carried around and snacked on at a convenient time. It smells quite yummy too. Funnily enough, even thinking about having a bite makes me get quite thirsty.”

Olimar's notes

“I don't need any special tools to break open the shell, and the fruit inside is edible. Cracking these open is so satisfying that I find myself getting carried away and opening more than I could possibly eat. Note to self: work on moderation.”

Louie's notes

“Crack open the shell to snack on the crunchy nuts inside. Don't forget a drink. These make you thirsty!”
