The Tremendous Sniffer (オフランス?, lit.: "The France") is a fruit in Pikmin 3. It is a pear. This fruit provides 2 cups of juice (one in Ultra-Spicy mode) for the leaders, and there is only one in the game, which is found in the Twilight River. In Mission Mode, it appears in Silver Lake Remix, where it is valued at 200 pokos.

Collecting the fruit

A map of the Twilight River as it appears on the mini radar in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. This was made by manually arranging the textures for each section of the area to align with the corresponding radar map.

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

The Tremendous Sniffer is found in the Twilight River. It is located past a reinforced wall in the area with the clipboards and an Arachnode. To obtain it, bomb rocks are required, because of the wall. The only bomb rocks in the area are found on the tin can near where the Puffy Blowhog is located. Throw 3 bombs to break the wall and recover the fruit.

There is a glitch that forgoes the use of bomb rocks. Order any Pikmin to grab onto the fruit. The next day, the fruit will somehow appear outside of the wall, making for an easy retrieval.

Collecting the treasure

There is a Tremendous Sniffer inside of a Puffstool left of the center of the Primordial Thicket. To collect this treasure, you must first defeat the Puffstool and clear out the nearby sticky mold; then, throw 12 Pikmin at it.

There is a Tremendous Sniffer inside of the third Emperor Bulblax in the center of Sublevel 5 of the Cavern for a King in the Primordial Thicket. To collect this treasure, you must first defeat all three Emperor Bulblaxes. Then, throw 12 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Brittany's notes

US version icon.png US version
This specimen has a sweet flavor and a soft texture...kind of like my Auntie Bea. The shape reminds me of her nose, too. So elegant! So glamorous! She's the envy of the family with that nose... I miss my aunt. I want to go home.

This specimen has a sweet flavour and a soft texture...somehow reminiscent of my Auntie Bea. Her nose is shaped a bit like this fruit, too. So elegant! So glamorous! She's the envy of the family with that nose...I miss my aunt. I want to go home!

Golden Sniffer

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.
Particularly: Add an image and specify the item's weight.

During Dandori Battles in Pikmin 4, there is a chance of a Golden Sniffer appearing somewhere in the arena. This is one of the heaviest and thus most valuable items in the mode.
