Editing Fruit

Fruits are found in specific locations of specific areas, usually accompanied by some sort of challenge which must be completed to access them. Some fruits are split into parts, where all parts must be recovered before the fruit is recognized as collected. On top of working towards the goal of kick-starting cultivation on Koppai, the fruits are directly useful to the explorers, as they provide bottles of [[#Juice|juice]], one of which is consumed every [[day]]. If the player runs out of juice, the game is over.

In total, there are 66 fruits, belonging to 30 different types, with some of them having appeared as treasures in {{p2}}, and all fruits later reappear as treasures in {{p4}}, bearing the same name. There is a grand total of 98 days' worth of juice, including the three bottles the explorers keep at the start as provisions. Day 99 can be played, but the Koppaites will have no juice at the end, causing a game over. In the [[Difficulty|Ultra-Spicy difficulty]] in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', there is only 49 bottles worth of juice, as the amount of juice provided from each fruit is halved. Interestingly, by highlighting day 1 on the [[day selection menu]], it'll show that at the start of that day, the explorers had 7 bottles of juice. Given that at the end of the day, there are only three bottles on the inventory, this means that when the Drake crash-landed, four of the provisions got lost.

In addition, special golden variants of some fruits can be found in the [[Mission Mode]], [[Bingo Battle]], and [[Side Stories]] of ''Pikmin 3'' or [[Dandori Battle]]s of ''Pikmin 4''. They are collected for [[Poko]]s or {{icon|dandori|y|n=points}} instead of juice, and are worth several times the amount of their non-golden counterparts.

*{{icon|Golden Grenade|y}}: a golden Cupid's Grenade, often several are found in groups or dropped by enemies.

*{{icon|Golden Sunseed|y}}: a golden Sunseed Berry, more valuable but less common than Golden Grenades.

*{{icon|Golden Sniffer|y|v=P4}}: a golden Tremendous Sniffer, only  spawns once per match and often in places that [[Oatchi]] and [[Moss]] cannot reach.

==Juice==

The collection of fruits serves more than just completing the overall goal: fruit collected is juiced at the end of the [[day]] to provide rations for the explorers. The juice is stored in bottles, and a bottle is only closed and made available if it's filled to the top. If needed, the leaders will mix juice from different fruits to fill up a bottle. After all of the fruits of the day have been juiced, the crew gets the oldest bottle and consumes it, regardless of how many people there are to feed with it. As such, the amount of juice the player has will determine the number of days left they can explore. If a day ends and there are no more bottles of juice, the player is taken to the game over screen, although they are allowed to retry from a previous day.

 

Different fruits provide different amounts of juice, with the lowest possible being half a cup, the maximum being 3, and the average being 1.4. The bottles have some [[Koppaite text]] on them. On the glass, there is the text {{kt|F|J}} ("FJ"), which could mean "fruit juice". On the frame, the word {{kt|S|U|R|V|I|V|A|L}} ("survival") can be read.

The Fruit File is one of the options available on the [[KopPad]]. It provides information on all collected pieces of fruit, and by tapping on fruit, the player can read [[Brittany's Notes]] on it.

"Piktamin U" is a vitamin that the [[Koppai]]tes claim is in some fruits. Its name is a portmanteau of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and vitamin, and the "U" in the vitamin's name is a reference to the [[Wii U]]. Even the [[Golden Sunseed]] and [[Golden Grenade]] are said in [[Mission Mode]] tips to contain large amounts of Piktamin U, despite their composition.{{cite quote|Golden Sunseeds are packed with Piktamin U! One of these gives you {{pokos|200|y|v=P3}}!|[[Loading]] screen tip|Mission Mode}}{{cite quote|Golden Grenades are packed with Piktamin U! One of these gives you {{pokos|100|y|v=P3}}!|[[Loading]] screen tip|Mission Mode}}

Some [[treasure]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' are fruits, particularly those in the [[Succulent Series]]. Most of these returned in ''Pikmin 3'' with the same name:

 

*{{icon|Love Nugget|y}}: a tomato.

*{{icon|Infernal Vegetable|y}}: a bell pepper.

 

All 30 fruits from ''Pikmin 3'' reappear in ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' as treasures. They have the same name as in ''Pikmin 3'', though some have different [[weight]]s.

 

Along with the {{icon|Love Nugget|y|v=P4}}, which now weighs 10 instead of 20, there are 5 new treasures in the [[Nature's Candy Series]] that are botanically fruits:
