The Decorative Goo (オレの色?, lit.: "My Color") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It is a used tube of blue acrylic paint.
In Pikmin 2, the label reads "あおいろ? (lit.: "blue color")" in the Japanese version of Pikmin 2, and "Mario Paint" in the American and European version, referencing the game Mario Paint. In Pikmin 4, the label is more generic with unreadable text, with the word "Blue" in bold alongside a yellow dot. Like other treasures in the Soulful Artist Series, this one is reminiscent of Blue Pikmin. It can be found in a sublevel with water and many water-based enemies, and is likely the first place the player will discover Blue Pikmin.

It is sitting atop a ledge at the north of sublevel 1 of the Secluded Courtyard. To collect this treasure, you must throw 3 Pikmin at it. You can also knock it down with a rush from Oatchi.

Treasure Hoard appearance[edit]
Oddly, depending on the region and area, the treasure will appear differently when viewed in the Treasure Hoard. In the Japanese version, the treasure always appears correctly. In the US version, the treasure always appears to float above the floor. In the European version, in all areas except the Perplexing Pool, the treasure again appears at ground level, but it lacks a shadow; in the Perplexing Pool, it looks the same as in the US version. All of these differences can also be found in the respective Wii re-releases for each region.
The reason for this is because in the US version, something unknown changed in the treasure's geometry, making it appear slightly above its origin point, compared to the Japanese version. The US developers did not realize this, and so the treasure is visually floating in that version. For the European version, this oversight was caught, but instead of correcting the model's data, the developers altered the spawn position of the treasure to be five units below floor level.[1] While this does visually place the tube on the floor, it also means its shadow doesn't appear, since the object's Y coordinate is technically under the floor, and there is no floor below that to project a shadow onto. The coordinates for the Perplexing Pool have not been changed since it is very hard to even notice the problem, given that the treasure is underwater.

Trivia[edit]
- Despite having a changed design in the North American and European versions, the icon for the Decorative Goo is unchanged from the Japanese version in Pikmin 2's Nintendo GameCube and New Play Control! releases.
- A blue stain can be found where the Pikmin 2 version of the treasure is located, suggesting that some of the paint in the tube either leaked or was dumped out, possibly by the Blue Pikmin found lurking near it.
- The Decorative Goo is found near Blue Pikmin in both games it appears in, a trait carried over into the Soulful Artist Series with other colors.
- The Pikmin 4 version of Decorative Goo is worn by a Blue Paint Decor Pikmin in Pikmin Bloom. The paint tube is open, unlike in Pikmin 4.
