**{{icon|Air Brake|y}}: Only Blue Pikmin can use the [[seesaw block]]s that are underwater. With [[Throw#Longer throw trick|long throws]] and/or the [[Throw#High ledge glitch|high ledge glitch]], Yellow or Purple Pikmin can access the ledge the treasure is on and carry it back safely.

**{{icon|Decorative Goo|y}}: The path to carry the treasure back to the ship goes through water, but by using a certain glitch{{cite youtube|AmqzPQkyvFo|demonstrating how to retrieve treasures without Blue Pikmin}}, it's possible for treasures to be carried in water with non-Blue Pikmin during [[cutscenes]]. Another glitch called [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Carrying charge|charging]] also helps minimize how long the treasure is underwater for, meaning the treasure can be carried through the water in the duration of just one cutscene.

**{{icon|Citrus Lump|v=FF|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): The fruit is also fully submerged in water near the landing site.
**{{icon|Crunchy Deluge|y}}: Like the previous Citrus Lump, this fruit is located underwater at the far end of the [[Twilight River]].
**{{icon|Portable Sunset|y}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): This fruit is on a low branch above a pool of water. Upon throwing 8 Pikmin on it, it will fall into the water. Winged Pikmin can also be used to detach the fruit, but it'll land in the water regardless.

**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): The fruit is held by a [[Calcified Crushblat]], and to access the enemy, an underwater [[Gate#Dirt wall|dirt wall]] must be destroyed.

Blue Pikmin are intended to be used to collect these fruits, but through the use of glitches, exploits, or tricks, the fruits can be collected without Blue Pikmin.
*{{icon|Scaly Custard|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): The fruit is within a [[Peckish Aristocrab]] on an area of land that can only be reached by building a pot-shaped bridge with some of its fragments underwater. However, using [[Sequence break#Early Quaggled Mireclops|sequence-breaking techniques]], it is possible to bypass the building of this bridge and collect the fruit with Winged Pikmin.
*{{icon|Citrus Lump|v=FF|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): The fruit is fully submerged in water near the landing site. However, using the [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Invincible Pikmin|invincible Pikmin glitch]] with a [[Skeeterskate]], it is possible to collect it with Winged Pikmin, though doing the glitch with enough Pikmin is extremely difficult.
*{{icon|Crunchy Deluge|y}}: Like the Citrus Lump, this fruit is located underwater at the far end of the [[Twilight River]], and can be collected in the same way.
*{{icon|Scaly Custard|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): The fruit is within a [[Peckish Aristocrab]] on an area of land that can only be reached by building a pot-shaped bridge with some of its fragments underwater. However, using [[Sequence break#Early Quaggled Mireclops|a sequence break]], it is possible to bypass the building of this bridge and collect the fruit with Winged Pikmin.
*{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]], inside the crystal): Normally, a bridge must be built using fragments, some of which are underwater, but it is possible to build half the bridge and throw [[Rock Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]] across the gap, allowing the crystal to be broken and the fruit to be carried back.

*{{icon|Wayward Moon|y}}: Like with the [[Scaly Custard]] above, a pot-shaped bridge with some of its fragments underwater must be built to access the boss that contains the fruit normally, but [[Sequence break#Early Quaggled Mireclops|sequence-breaking techniques]] can be used to bypass the building of this bridge and collect the fruit with Winged Pikmin. (Note that at least 1 Blue Pikmin must be plucked to remove an invisible wall before the boss, but that Pikmin doesn't have to be used after that.)

**{{icon|Cupid's Grenade|v=FF|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): The fruit is on a small island surrounded by water. It is possible to lock onto the fruit with [[Winged Pikmin]] and charge them on, but it is easier to throw a Blue Pikmin onto it.

**{{icon|Face Wrinkler|y}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): This fruit can be collected with Blue Pikmin or Winged Pikmin, and there is not much difference between the 2 in collecting this fruit.

**{{icon|Juicy Gaggle|y}} ([[Twilight River]], group of 3): It is possible to get the fruits with Winged Pikmin, but using Blue Pikmin will not require defeating the [[Arachnode]].
