The Love Nugget (ヒトメボレ?, lit.: "Love at First Sight") is a treasure found in the Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4 and is actually a red, ripe tomato. It is found on the first sublevel of the Citadel of Spiders. There are a few Shearwigs that may try to kill Pikmin on the way to the Ship, but it's still rather easy to obtain.

Notes

Olimar's journal

This tasty red snack isn't quite a fruit, but doesn't seem like a vegetable either. I've analyzed it extensively, and it appears to be releasing stimulating pheromones. Maybe I should feed it to my wife...

Sales pitch

One bite and your heart will be filled with a burning fever. Is the feeling love...or hallucination?

Trivia

  • The Love Nugget is one of two fruits in Pikmin 2 that does not appear in Pikmin 3, the other being the Combustion Berry.
  • Olimar's journal entry for the Love Nugget likely references the famous debate around if tomatoes are a fruit or a vegetable.
