Pikmin Treasure Hunt is a lost Pikmin browser game where players would recover treasures from various websites. It was released on October 13th 2004 and seemingly run by Nintendo of America employee "NOA_MATT" from the official NSider forums. Players would receive hints from their own ship's computer, and even one hint from the president of Hocotate Freight himself. These clues and hints would let the player learn which treasures were on which web site. When the game released there was a competition exclusive to American and Canadian players.The first 100 players who beat Treasure Hunt would get free Pikmin plushies, but the rest would receive a free wallpaper. The sprites used for Pikmin Treasure Hunt are the same as the ones used for Pikmin 2 Virtual World, another lost Pikmin game which was hosted on the European Pikmin 2 website. Treasure Hunt was accessed from www.pikmin.com. | Pikmin Treasure Hunt is a lost Pikmin browser game where players would recover treasures from various websites.
