The '''Crimson Banquet''' ({{j|ヒトタマデラマンプク|Hitotama Dera Manpuku|Single Ball Super Fulfiller}}) is a [[fruit]] in {{p3}} and a [[treasure]] in {{p4}}. It is a {{w|watermelon}}.

In ''Pikmin 3'', it appears once in [[Story Mode]], in the [[Tropical Wilds]], and is held by the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]], the [[boss]] of the area. Upon defeating the boss, it will regurgitate the whole fruit; however, it smashes into many chunks upon hitting the ground. If all 6 pieces of this fruit are carried back to the [[S.S. Drake]], the total amount of juice will equal three full bottles, the highest total any fruit can give. (This amount is limited to one and one-half in [[difficulty|Ultra-Spicy mode]].)

 

== Collecting the fruit ==

* 1 small chunk, which takes a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to carry and gives 0.1 bottles of [[juice]],

== Collecting the treasure ==

The Crimson Banquet is in an alcove below the sandcastle, under the castle's northwestern wall, near the first [[base]] in [[Serene Shores]]. It is blocked by two [[hydro jelly|hydro jellies]] partially submerged in water during high tide, making the treasure much easier to collect during low tide. Because it has a weight of 100, it is recommended to use 10 [[Purple Pikmin]] during low tide. Otherwise, 100 Pikmin would be needed, with only [[Blue Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]] able to collect it at high tide. [[Oatchi]] can lower this requirement by upgrading his [[buff]] skill, and can carry the treasure entirely on his own with [[super buff]] level 3. He can carry it during high tide as well if he has [[doggy-paddle]] level 3. Note that approaching it during low tide will result in an [[Armored Cannon Larva]] appearing next to it, which should be dealt with before the treasure is retrieved.

 

 

 

== Technical information ==

== Glitch ==

There is a rare, but rather harmful glitch that can occur while retrieving the Crimson Banquet in ''Pikmin 3''. If the pieces are left overnight in the area just before the Sandbelching Meerslug arena, there is a possibility that one of them will not appear on any of the following days, making it impossible to collect all the pieces.

== Trivia ==

* This is the only fruit that must be collected in parts to have the parts vary in size and weight.

* Although the part that takes 15 Pikmin to carry appears to be more than half the fruit, the weight of that part is less than half of the overall weight.

* The Crimson Banquet is one of two fruits in ''Pikmin 3'' that can produce three cups of juice, the other being the [[Wayward Moon]], another fruit dropped by a boss. Coincidentally, both are part of the melon family.

* The Crimson Banquet is mentioned directly in a loading screen tip exclusive to the [[Hefty Haulway]] Dandori Challenge. The tip recommends that the player focus on transporting the heaviest and most valuable treasures in the stage, particularly this one.
