The '''Slapstick Crescent''' ({{j|カワスベール|Kawa Subēru|Slippery Peel}}) is a [[fruit]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and a [[treasure]] in {{p4}}. It is a {{w|banana}}, and in ''Pikmin 3'', is found buried in the [[Tropical Wilds]]. It produces 2 and a half bottles of juice (one and a quarter in [[difficulty|Ultra-Spicy mode]]), similar to a boss fruit. In ''Pikmin 4'', it has a sticker on with a generic banana brand, and appears in the [[Serene Shores]] and [[Giant's Hearth]].
The '''Slapstick Crescent''' is a fruit found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is a Banana found in the [[Tropical Wilds]] behind a body of water protected by a [[Peckish Aristocrab]], which itself holds a [[Scaly Custard]]. It must be dug out of the ground and  takes 15 Pikmin to carry.

{{guide}}
In the [[Tropical Wilds]], first go to the northern area containing the [[seesaw block]]s. Nearby, there should be a large body of water. On land, there are two [[Fiery Blowhog]]s which should be killed. In the water, there will be a [[Peckish Aristocrab]]. This will need to be killed as it will be very troublesome for retrieving the fruit if it is still alive. After that, you will reach a dry spot with a small part of the fruit sticking out the ground. You can then set the Pikmin to start [[digging]] it up. It is recommended to do this early in the day and to bring about 30-40 [[Blue Pikmin]] to speed up digging as the Slapstick Crescent will take a very long time to dig up. Alternatively, activating a [[bomb rock]] next to the fruit will cause it to instantly become unearthed. This works with all fruits, but it is most valuable with this fruit, especially for [[speedrun]]s, as it is very time-consuming to unearth it and retrieve it otherwise.

===Brittany's Comments===
 
''"Gosh, this is delicious! [[Alph|Alph's]] gone absolutely bananas over this... Thing. The peel seems quite slippery. But how slippery, I wonder? Slippery enough to dispatch a person? How about a [[Charlie|fully-grown man]] with a moustache? I must find out... in the interests of science."'''

==Trivia==
{{guide}}
*Its name, "Slapstick Crescent", comes from "Slapstick", a form of comedy which is exaggerated comedy which the banana is known for (banana peel slips), and "Cresent", it's shape.
 
*It is the only fruit in the game that isn't dropped by a boss to give more than 2 bottles of juice, giving two and a half.
=== Serene Shores ===
*Brittany mentions in her notes that Alph has "gone bananas" over the Slapstick Crescent. This is a pun on the fact that the Slapstick in, in fact, a banana.
There is a Slapstick Crescent on a small ledge at the easternmost lake of the overworld, a bit to the northeast of the lake's center. It is submerged during high tide and exposed during low tide. To collect this treasure, you must throw 15 [[Blue Pikmin]] at it.
*In real life, bananas lack juce. Thus, it is unknown how the S.S. Drake harvests juice from the Slapstick.
 
*A possible theory to this is that the Juice harvested from the Slapstick is actually just the insides of the Slapstick mushed into a juice. This would be possible, as the edible part of bananas are very soft.
=== Giant's Hearth ===
[[Category:Fruit]]
There is a Slapstick Crescent hanging from a cobweb to the northeast of the grill at the center of the area. It is guarded by two [[Mama Sheargrub]]s, which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect this treasure, you must throw 15 Pikmin at it.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Decor Rock Supermarket 2.png|thumb|One of the Banana Decor Pikmin (Rock Pikmin) that wears a sticker matching the Slapstick Crescent in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
* The Slapstick Crescent and the [[Pocked Airhead]] are the only fruits that aren't given by a boss which give 2.5 bottles of juice.
* The European text for Brittany's log mentions that "Alph's gone absolutely bananas". This indicates that [[Koppai]]tes might have some idea of what a banana is, or have a similar expression or object in their language, that is different from a real world banana.
* Modern day bananas, primarily Cavendish, do not have seeds and are technically sterile. This would make collecting the fruit pointless for the purpose of the Koppaites' mission in {{p3}}, as they would not be able to extract any seeds from it to cultivate.
** Despite this, the Slapstick Crescent is still required for the all-fruits ending, implying that the Koppaites were either able to extract seeds from the banana, or otherwise duplicate it.
* The sticker on the Slapstick Crescent in ''Pikmin 4'' is the same one seen on certain Banana [[Decor Pikmin]] in ''[[Pikmin Bloom]]''.
