Pikmin Treasure Hunt is a lost Pikmin browser game where players would recover treasures from various websites. It was released on October 13th 2004 and seemingly run by Nintendo of America employee "NOA_MATT" from the official NSider forums. Players would receive hints from their own ship's computer, and even one hint from the president of Hocotate Freight himself. These clues and hints would let the player learn which treasures were on which web site. When the game released there was a competition exclusive to American and Canadian players.The first 100 players who beat Treasure Hunt would get free Pikmin plushies, but the rest would receive a free wallpaper. The sprites used for Pikmin Treasure Hunt are the same as the ones used for Pikmin 2 Virtual World, another lost Pikmin game which was hosted on the European Pikmin 2 website. Treasure Hunt was accessed from www.pikmin.com. | |||

The gameplay of Treasure Hunt is unknown, however it can be assumed that it played much like Pikmin SpaceForce. According to players at the time, players would be able to control a squad of Pikmin as well as the Onion itself. Currently, it is unknown how exactly Pikmin would be controlled. However, forum posts would speak about how they would use Pikmin to snatch up treasures. More Pikmin could be made using the Onion. The Pikmin seemed to be buggy, as people on the NSider forums discussed how their Pikmin would be "stuck". | |||
