The Arboreal Frippery is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. The Arboreal Frippery is actually a leaf from a Japanese maple tree. Although, some people thought this was marijuana, because the Japanese version refferes it as a "one-hit kill. Some versions also have the ship warn you not to over-dose. RATED E FOR EVERYONE, KIDS!!! It 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 Buds. 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, throwing in one Pikmin should easily transport the treasure back to the Ship's Pod in a quick, hasty manner. It is tied for the least valuable treasure.
In the Japanese 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 is Ichikorodaore, which means "One-hit kill". This may actually suggest it is marijuana, as it resembles the drug. It is red in the PAL version.
Notes
Olimar's Journal
"The ship seems to think this leaf would be a smash hit among naturalist interior designers. I just think it looks and feels like a soft blanket. In the interest of scientific discovery, I'd better give it a test run..."
Sales Pitch
"Perfect for those who love natural designs in their home, this leaf applique is a bargain! Use it in pieces, or cover an entire wall in leafiness!"
