In ''Pikmin 2'', [[treasure]] that is completely underground does not have any obvious indicator of its presence. Only [[White Pikmin]] have the ability to detect this type of treasure, and when they're told to work on the spot the collectible is at, they will begin slowly digging it out until it peaks to the surface, at which point other types of Pikmin may help. The only way a player has to tell that there's treasure in that location is with the [[Treasure Gauge]], or by having White Pikmin scan the floor with the [[swarm]] mechanic.

[[Yellow Pikmin]] have been given an extra trait to be the fastest diggers. Also in this game, [[bomb rock]] explosions can help dig out buried items, but they don't affect spacesuit [[upgrade]]s. [[Flukeweed]]s can also be used to pull out objects under the ground, but that does not involve the digging ability Pikmin possess. | ||
In ''Hey! Pikmin'', a small number of treasures are found partially buried, and need to be dug out before Olimar can collect them. The Pikmin can also dig out some special objects, like a [[Minor obstacles#Metal pipe|pipe that gets used as a ramp]] in [[Below the Ice]]. They can also dig buried [[Sparklium Seed]]s. | In ''Hey!
