Special Spot
Special Spots are points of interest in Pikmin Bloom that are marked with a special flower, similar to Big Flowers but slightly smaller and always bloomed. These points of interest are placed at specific locations as part of brand sponsorships. Currently, the only participating company is Nintendo. Special Spots were fully added to the game on September 29th, 2022.
Mechanics
Special Spots appear at defined locations on the map. They have a small circle on the ground surrounding them. If the player is inside the radius, the flower will glow and it will be possible to receive rewards from it; otherwise the flower will not glow.
Tapping on a Special Spot will open an information screen about it. Swiping down on the flower when it is glowing will make it drop a Golden Seedling. The type of Decor Pikmin this seedling grows into depends on the Special Spot, as does the frequency at which players can get the seedlings, and the maximum amount of seedlings a Special Spot can give.[1]
Locations
Currently, Special Spots only appear in 2 locations: Nintendo Tokyo and Nintendo New York. The seedlings provided by these Special Spots grow into Blue Pikmin with Mario Hat decor. Only 1 seedling can be obtained in a day this way.
