Gold Nugget: Difference between revisions

A pile of '''gold nuggets''', each nugget being taken by a Pikmin, much like how bridges work, once all nuggets are taken the pile will disappear. These are comparable to real-world {{w|gold nugget}}s.

=== Schnauz’s Notes ===

{{transcript|What can I say that hasn't been said a thousand times before? Obviously it's gorgeous! And oh, how it glitters! Still, it's not every day one gets to see a Gold Nugget of THIS size. Will the wonders of this strange planet ever cease? I certainly hope not!|block=y}}

=== Olimar’s Notes ===

{{transcript|Appears to have the same composition as the gold on my planet. I've heard that some heavy elements, like gold, are created during rare collisions between neutron stars, but to think the same element exists on a faraway planet reminds me...space is so vast.|block=y}}

=== Louie’s Notes ===

{{transcript|When I see this, all I want is more.|block=y}}
