Arboreal Frippery: Difference between revisions

The '''Arboreal Frippery''' ({{j|イチコロダオレ|Ichikorodaore|One-hit Death}}) is a treasure found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is actually a leaf from a {{w|Maple tree|Japanese maple tree}}. The treasure is found in the fourth sublevel of the [[Shower Room]], which is a large, calm area with only harmless [[Unmarked Spectralids]] and two [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s. The water is too shallow to drown Pikmin, so it can be crossed with any type of Pikmin. The treasure is in a pipe, so the [[Treasure Gauge]] can be used to find the correct pipe. Since it weighs only one unit, [[throw]]ing a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] at it should easily transport the treasure back to the [[Hocotate ship#Research Pod|Ship's Pod]] in a hasty manner. It is tied with several treasures for the least amount of [[Pokos]] it's worth.

In the Japanese [[Region|version]], [[Olimar's journal]] entry and the [[sales pitch]] describe this treasure as the "ultimate drug", and [[Olimar]] even states that he might even want to use it some day. Users are also warned not to overdose, as it may cause death. Its name in the Japanese version means "One-hit Death". This may actually suggest it is {{w|Marijuana|marijuana}}, as it resembles the drug. The leaf is red in the European version, presumably to drive away the comparison. The red leaf version is in actuality reused from an earlier set of treasures found in the game's disc.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Version_Differences#Differences_Between_Japan_.2B_US_and_PAL|Pikmin 2/Version Differences|The Cutting Room Floor|published={{date|30|September|2021}}|retrieved={{date|7|March|2021}}}}
