The '''Temporal Mechanism''' ({{j|こわれたタイムマシン|Kowareta Taimumashin|Broken Time Machine}}) is a [[treasure]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It's actually a {{w|pocket watch}} labeled with Roman numerals and has the [[Nintendo]] logo on its face. The second hand ticks back and forth between two seconds. In ''Pikmin 4'' the words "Every second is of infinite value." are inscribed on its back. In ''Pikmin 2'', it is found in the [[Valley of Repose]] and is held by a [[Fiery Bulblax]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', it is found on a fence in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]] near a [[Bulborb]]. It also appears in that game [[Title screen|title screen]].

==Collecting the treasure==

{{guide}}
It is located at the far side of the field near a body of water inhabited by [[Water Dumple]]s. The best way to defeat the Bulblax is to lure the Bulblax into the water and attack it with [[Blue Pikmin]] after [[ultra-bitter spray|petrifying]] it.

It is wise to go after this treasure near the start of the day. If the Bulblax is killed but the treasure does not get back to the ship before day's end, it will be inside another Bulblax the next day (unlike other above ground treasures, which stay in place from day to day, seeing as they are not held by enemies).

==Collecting the treasure==
{{guide}}

It is mounted on a wall near the top-left of the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]]. To collect it, you must first knock it off of the wall with a [[Rush]] from [[Oatchi]], then throw 7 Pikmin at it.

==Trivia==
* This treasure and the [[King of Bugs]] are the only two treasures in ''Pikmin 2'' that animate when not being carried &ndash; the Temporal Mechanism's second hand is always ticking back and forth.
