<h3>Cupid's Grenade</h3>
<h3>''Pikmin'' Short Movies</h3>


The '''Cupid's Grenade''' is a [[treasure]] in {{p2}} and a [[fruit]] in {{p3}}, and is a {{w|cherry}}. In ''Pikmin 2'', it is found in the [[Snagret Hole]], and is worth 20 [[Poko]]s. In ''Pikmin 3'', it is found twice in the [[Distant Tundra]] and once in the [[Tropical Wilds]], and contributes half a bottle of [[juice]] to the player's supply (a quarter in [[Difficulty|Ultra-Spicy difficulty]]). This fruit also plays a special role in [[2-Player Battle]] and [[Bingo Battle]], as collecting one in those modes gives the player a power-up.
The '''''Pikmin'' Short Movies''' are a trio of animated films, showing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] interacting with the environment of [[PNF-404]] alongside [[Captain Olimar]]. These films are drawn using computer generated 3D graphics. They were produced by TK3 Inc. and Nintendo Co., Ltd, and were animated by Dwango Pictures, Inc., with Shigeru Miyamoto as executive producer. The three shorts are called ''[[The Night Juicer]]'', ''[[Treasure in a Bottle]]'', and ''[[Occupational Hazards]]''.

The shorts are all based on the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They focus more on the Pikmin's interactions with the environment, as well as each individual Pikmin's behaviors and actions. These aspects cannot be elaborated on inside the games, due to technical and visual limitations, as well as deviating from the gameplay purposes of the games. Some of the actions the Pikmin perform in the shorts contradict what is known to happen in the game's [[canon]], meaning that it is not clear if the shorts take place in the same canon as the games'. These include the Pikmin being able to open up their leaves or buds into flowers seemingly at will, and [[White Pikmin]] being able to spit acid.
