The Sphere of Family is on the ground behind a numbered gate towards the north of sublevel 4 of the Drafty Gallery. To collect this treasure, you must lower the numbered gate, which requires you to defeat the Puffy Blowhog in the main arena. As the arena is surrounded by a pit, you should whistle your Pikmin off the Blowhog before it bucks them off into it. Once the gate has been lowered, you can simply retrieve the treasure.

Notes[edit]

Schnauz's notes[edit]

“This sphere is believed to be the patron of families. Parents often implore it to help their children flourish. And who can blame them? Parents treasure their children, who then treasure their own children, and on and on it goes. Such endless love is a beautiful thing.”

Olimar's notes[edit]

“It's often said that you don't realize how much your parents have done for you until it's too late to thank them. I try to show my gratitude and keep in touch as much as I can with video calls, but as soon as my kids pop on- screen, my parents forget I'm there.”

Louie's notes[edit]

“I like how round and smooth it is. I can't stop touching it.”
