Throughout ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', the [[leader]]s receive various '''upgrades'''. These are granted when specific objects are brought back to the ship. In ''Pikmin 2'', the upgrades can be found on a checklist called the [[Exploration Kit]] on the [[pause menu]], and there is a distinction between the treasure itself and the upgrade. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', upgrades are obtained in the form of {{w|Gashapon}} style capsules or cellphones, and there isn't much of a difference between the object and the upgrade proper. | Throughout ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', the [[leader]]s receive various '''upgrades'''.

In ''Pikmin 2'', collecting the treasures that give Exploration Kit upgrades is done by defeating the final [[boss]] of a [[cave]], with the exception of the [[Spherical Atlas]], which is not guarded by any enemy more dangerous than a [[Snow Bulborb]], the [[Geographic Projection]], which is found above ground and also in the open, and the [[Brute Knuckles]], which is obtained from a [[Mamuta]] on a [[rest sublevel]] of the [[Frontier Cavern]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', the spacesuit upgrades are found buried or off the beaten path. The two phones that allow for further exploration are obtained from defeating bosses, however. In ''Pikmin 4'', the spacesuit upgrades (along with collar upgrades for [[Oatchi]]) become available after [[Russ]] is rescued, at which point they can be bought from | In ''Pikmin 2'', collecting the treasures that give Exploration Kit upgrades is done by defeating the final [[boss]] of a [[cave]], with the exception of the [[Spherical Atlas]], which is not guarded by any enemy more dangerous than a [[Snow Bulborb]], the [[Geographic Projection]], which is found above ground and also in the open, and the [[Brute Knuckles]], which is obtained from a [[Mamuta]] on a [[rest sublevel]] of the [[Frontier Cavern]].

As soon as their associated object is collected, the upgrades take effect right away, and for all leaders. In ''Pikmin 2'', if the player gets an upgrade's treasure and exits the cave from the [[pause menu]] instead of through a geyser, the treasure will be left behind, but the leaders will keep the upgrade. | As soon as their associated object is collected, the upgrades take effect right away, and for all leaders.
