Editing Pikmin Treasure Hunt

'''''Pikmin Treasure Hunt''''' is a lost ''Pikmin'' browser game created to promote {{p2}}. It was released on {{date|13|October|2004}} and seemingly run by Nintendo of America employee "NOA_MATT" from the official NSider forums. Gameplay primarily consisted of recovering [[treasure]]s by visiting various websites. 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 website.

When the game released there was a competition exclusive to American and Canadian players. The first 100 players who completed the game 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.

''Pikmin Treasure Hunt'' was never archived and so its gameplay is unknown. However it can be assumed that it played much like ''[[Pikmin.com SpaceForce]]'', given it similar premise. According to players at the time, players would be able to control a squad of [[Pikmin family|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".
