The '''Sphere of Beginnings''' is a [[treasure]] in {{P4}}. It is a billiards ball, specifically the 4 ball. It is located in the [[Below-Grade Discotheque]] in the [[Serene Shores]].

== Collecting the treasure ==
{{guide}}
The Sphere of Beginnings is half-buried in the northeastern section of sublevel 4 of the [[Below-Grade Discotheque]]. Access to it is blocked by a [[sizzling floor]], which can be extinguished by constructing the [[clay valve]] in the northwestern corner of the sublevel and turning it. It is also guarded by two [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, which should be defeated before attempting to collect this treasure, although it is not strictly necessary if using Red Pikmin. To collect this treasure, you must throw 7 Pikmin at it.

== Trivia ==
* The Sphere of Beginnings is pink whereas the standard color for a 4-ball is purple. This change is primarily used in televised pool games as the more distinct colors are easier to see through television monitors.
** The 7-ball is similarly altered on television to be a lighter shade of brown. However, this change is not reflected in the [[Sphere of Good Fortune]].
