The '''Temporal Mechanism''' ({{j|こわれたタイムマシン|Kowareta Taimumashin|Broken Time Machine}}) is a [[treasure]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It's actually a {{w|pocket watch}} labeled with Roman numerals and has the [[Nintendo]] logo on its face. The second hand ticks back and forth between two seconds. In ''Pikmin 4'' the words "Every second is of infinite value." are inscribed on its back, a quote by {{w|Johann Wolfgang von Goethe}}. In ''Pikmin 2'', it is found in the [[Valley of Repose]] and is held by a [[Fiery Bulblax]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', it is found on a fence in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]] near a [[Bulborb]]. It also appears in that game's [[title screen]], in the [[Dandori Challenge]] menu accessed by talking to [[Jin]], and when choosing a sublevel in the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]].


The '''Temporal Mechanism''' is a grayish-looking [[wikipedia:Pocketwatch|pocket watch]] labeled with Roman numerals and has the Nintendo logo on its face. The second hand ticks back and forth between two seconds. It is found in the [[Valley of Repose]], held by a [[Fiery Bulblax]]. It is located at the far side of the field near a body of water inhabited by [[Water Dumple]]s. The best way to defeat the Bulblax is to lure it into the water and attack it with [[Blue Pikmin]] after [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrifying]] it.
== Collecting the treasure ==
{{guide}}


Note: It is wise to go after this treasure near the start of the day. If the Bulblax is killed but the treasure does not get back to the ship before day's end, it will be inside another Bulblax the next day (unlike other above ground treasures which are not held by enemies. They will be there where you left them the next day).

==Notes==
It is wise to go after this treasure near the start of the day. If the Bulblax is killed but the treasure does not get back to the ship before day's end, it will be inside another Bulblax the next day (unlike other above ground treasures, which stay in place from day to day, seeing as they are not held by enemies).
===Olimar's Journal===
 
''"While exploring this warped land, I got the feeling that time passed faster than usual. Upon researching it further, I realized it was just my mind playing tricks on me. But whenever I touch this object I can feel the space-time continuum bending!"''

===Sales Pitch===
 
''"Believe! Believe in the future, in dreams, in unknown wonders, like this broken time machine part. This does not work, so there is no way to confirm its abilities, but surely your heart believes."''
=== ''Pikmin 4'' ===

{{guide}}
It is mounted on a wall near the center of the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], slightly to the north. To collect it, you must first knock it off of the wall with a [[rush]] from [[Oatchi]], then throw 7 Pikmin at it. The nearby [[Bulborb]] should be defeated, otherwise it will wake up when the Pikmin carry the treasure back.
