Fruit: Difference between revisions

[[File:Sunseed Berry P3 close up.png|thumb|right|A [[Sunseed Berry]], the first fruit found in {{p3}}.]]

'''Fruits''' are the reason for [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]]'s visit to [[PNF-404]]. By retrieving pieces of fruit scattered around the planet and extracting the seeds, the three explorers are able to solve the hunger problem in their home planet, [[Koppai]].

Similarly to [[Ship part|ship parts]] and [[Treasure|treasures]] in the previous two games, the collection of these items is necessary in order to complete the game, and they are normally found in specific locations, commonly accompanied by some sort of challenge which must be completed to access them. Some fruits are split into parts, where all parts must be recovered before the fruit is recognized. On top of working towards the goal of kick-starting cultivation on Koppai, the fruits are directly useful to the explorers, as they need to feed on their [[Fruit#Juice|juice]] every day.

The collection of fruits serves more than just completing the overall goal: fruit collected is juiced at the end of the [[day]] to provide rations for the explorers. The juice is stored in bottles, and a bottle is only closed and made available if it's filled to the top. If needed, the leaders will even mix juice from different fruits to fill up a bottle. After all of the fruits has been juiced, the crew grabs the oldest bottle and consumes it, regardless of how many people there are to feed on it. As such, the amount of juice the player has will determine the number of days left they can explore. If a day ends and there are no more bottles of juice, the player is taken to the game over screen, although they are allowed to retry from a previous day.

Different fruits provide different amounts of juice, with the lowest possible being half a cup, the maximum being 3, and the average being 1.4. The bottles have some [[Koppaite text]] on them. On the glass, there is the text   ("FJ"), which could mean "fruit juice". On the frame, the word {{kt|S|U|R|V|I|V|A|L}} ("survival") can be read.

That said, there is an exception for the first fruit of a [[saved game]]. When the player collects the first fruit, a [[cutscene]] plays showing said fruit being juiced. For unknown reasons, this cutscene affects the coloring calculations. If this fruit did not fill up a bottle, then when the player collects a second fruit, the resulting juice color will be more biased towards the first fruit collected. This can be seen easily with the aforementioned Juicy Gaggle and Zest Bomb – if the player collects one of these as their first fruit, the resulting "blue" juice will end up being greener or bluer than normal.{{cite youtube|yVkI5KdSNHk|demonstrating the different outcomes for blue juice|published={{date|21|September|2020}}|retrieved={{date|23|September|2020}}}}

"Piktamin U" is a fictional vitamin that the [[Koppai]]tes claim is in some fruits. Its name is a portmanteau of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and vitamin, and the "U" in the vitamin's name is a reference to the [[Wii U]]. Oddly, even the [[Golden Sunseed]], which seems to be more of a [[treasure]] and less of a food, is said to have a lot of Piktamin U, in a [[Mission Mode]] tip.{{cite quote|Golden Sunseeds are packed with Piktamin U! One of these gives you {{pokos|200|y}}!|[[Loading]] screen tip|Mission Mode}}

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', some [[treasure]]s are actually fruits. They do not serve the same purpose as the collectibles in ''Pikmin 3'', but are fruits nevertheless:

*{{icon|Love Nugget|y}}: a tomato; tomatoes are considered vegetables for culinary purposes, but are botanically fruits.

*{{icon|Infernal Vegetable|y}}: a bell pepper; likewise, bell peppers are botanically fruits.

In {{p3d}}, there are five [[badges]] the player can gain from collecting fruits:
