'''Gold Nuggets''', called '''Nuggets''' in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} cave results menu, are [[treasure]]s in {{p4}} and special collectible items in {{p3}}{{'s}} [[Mission Mode]] and [[Side Stories]]. They are found in piles, and each individual nugget in the pile can be [[Carry|carried]] by 1 Pikmin and delivered to the [[S.S. Beagle]] or [[SPERO]]. If not enough Pikmin are directed to the pile to carry all the nuggets, they will walk back and forth between the S.S. Beagle or SPERO and the pile until all have been taken. If a Pikmin carrying a nugget is whistled, the nugget will disappear and return to the pile. Once all nuggets have been taken from the pile, the pile will disappear. In ''Pikmin 3'', each nugget is worth {{pokos|3|y}}. In ''Pikmin 4'', each nugget is worth {{sparklium|p4|5}}, or 1 point in Dandori stages. They are comparable to real-world {{w|gold nugget}}s. On ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} [[radar]], Gold Nuggets are displayed differently from other treasures, as instead of being represented by a star, they're represented by a small pile of three nuggets, similar to the icon for [[raw material]]s, which have similar carrying mechanics.

{{guide}}

There are 10 Gold Nuggets lying on the ground on the northern section of sublevel 2 of the [[Aquiferous Summit]], next to the [[Memory Fragment (Top Left)]]. The path is blocked by two [[sizzling floor]]s, but the nearby [[paper bag]] can be pushed down to provide a path.
=== Drafty Gallery ===
There are 10 Gold Nuggets near the center of sublevel 2 of the [[Drafty Gallery]]. To retrieve them, either use [[Red Pikmin]], or destroy one of the [[fire geyser]]s along the way back to the [[S.S. Beagle]].
=== Secluded Courtyard ===
There are 15 Gold Nuggets in the northeastern corner of sublevel 3 of the [[Secluded Courtyard]]. To collect them, you must throw between 1 and 15 Pikmin at them. The nearby [[Sunsquish]] should be dealt with first, and unless you're using [[Blue Pikmin]], so should the [[water geyser]] in the way.
