The '''Temporal Mechanism''' ({{j|こわれたタイムマシン|Kowareta Taimumashin|Broken Time Machine}}) is a [[treasure]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It's actually a {{w|pocket watch}} labeled with Roman numerals and has the [[Nintendo]] logo on its face. The second hand ticks back and forth between two seconds. In ''Pikmin 4'' the words "Every second is of infinite value." are inscribed on its back, a quote by {{w|Johann Wolfgang von Goethe}}. In ''Pikmin 2'', it is found in the [[Valley of Repose]] and is held by a [[Fiery Bulblax]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', it is found on a fence in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]] near a [[Bulborb]]. It also appears in that game's [[title screen]], in the [[Dandori Challenge]] menu accessed by talking to [[Jin]], and when choosing a sublevel in the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]].


This [[treasure]] reappears in ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', where is located on a fence next to a sleeping [[Bulborb]]. It is currently unknown how to obtain the '''Temporal Mechanism''' in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''

It is located at the far side of the field near a body of water inhabited by [[Water Dumple]]s. The best way to defeat the Bulblax is to lure the Bulblax into the water and attack it with [[Blue Pikmin]] after [[ultra-bitter spray|petrifying]] it.

{{guide}}
It is mounted on a wall near the center of the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], slightly to the north. To collect it, you must first knock it off of the wall with a [[rush]] from [[Oatchi]], then throw 7 Pikmin at it. The nearby [[Bulborb]] should be defeated, otherwise it will wake up when the Pikmin carry the treasure back.
