'''Treasure in a Bottle''' is the second [[Pikmin Short Movies|''Pikmin'' Short Movie]]. It is 08:00 minutes in length, with the credits included, and has no introduction. In this film, a Red Pikmin finds a [[wikipedia:Ramune|Ramune bottle]] and attempts to retrieve the marble inside. After failing and becoming trapped inside the bottle's bottom, it asks passerby Pikmin for help, which, after other failed ideas, decide to create a chain of Pikmin to pull their trapped comrade outside.

== Transcript ==

The movie begins with a leaf [[Red Pikmin]] chasing a [[wikipedia:Pieris rapae|white cabbage butterfly]] (with extra tufts of white hair on its antennae). The Pikmin tries to jump up to catch it, but fails and flops on the ground. It tries again, this time with a somersault jump akin to the way Pikmin are [[throw]]n by [[leader]]s. It knocks the butterfly, making it emit some golden sparkles, but the Pikmin ends up falling on its face once more. With its nose-like facial feature seemingly broken, the Pikmin takes a look at it, straightens it, and chases after the butterfly again.

As the Pikmin runs forward, it passes by a tilted [[wikipedia:Ramune|Ramune bottle]]. The Pikmin stops, heads back, and examines its reflection on the glass. It poses two times, until it becomes distracted with the butterfly, which flies up into the sky, bringing the Pikmin's attention to the entire bottle, and eventually the marble within.

Shocked by the marble, the Pikmin looks around for ways to reach it, and begins climbing on the bottles and cans that the main bottle is tipped over. Reaching a dead end, it looks around, and finds that a nearby grass stalk could be used to jump onto the top of the bottle. The blade of grass it chooses to cross proves to be just shy out of reach, resulting in the stretching Pikmin to fall off and land on a bottle below. Angered, the Pikmin tries again, this time choosing a taller blade of grass from the same stem. As it approaches the end, its weight causes it to fall off, although the Pikmin manages to grab on and gently drop on the bottle's top.

Finally ready, the Pikmin dives inside the bottle, sliding off of its surface, and nearly falling on the second chamber of the bottle below. After taking a second to look at the drop and shivering, it turns its attention to the marble, and gleefully cuddles it. The Pikmin begins to push the treasure up the bottle, but gravity proves to be too strong, and the Pikmin and marble fall back down to the starting point. After fixing its broken nose for a second time, the Pikmin takes a running start by circling the inner part of the bottle, quickly pushing the marble all the way to the bottle's entrance. The object becomes stuck, and the Pikmin slides down. After some seconds, the marble detaches from the entrance and slides down as well. While running away from it, the Pikmin plunges into the bottle's large chamber. The camera at this point looks at the Pikmin's fall from below, and when it slams on the bottom, the viewer gets a clear shot of the Pikmin's face slammed against the glass, broken nose included.

The three rescuers begin thinking once more, and at this point, the Blue's flower is now a leaf. The Yellow Pikmin eventually comes up with an idea, its leaf also sprouting to a flower in the process. It too moves away and returns later carrying a fizzling [[bomb rock]]. The other two Pikmin on the ground run away in terror, and the Red Pikmin in the bottle nervously tries to signal the Yellow Pikmin to forget the idea. The Yellow winks and gives a thumbs up, sure that its idea will work. It runs away, and as the bomb is about the explode, the Red Pikmin cowers in fear.

The hands of a group of Pikmin appear carrying a soda can and placing it against the bottle. Meanwhile, a tired Red Pikmin wakes up to find a Blue Pikmin's hand reaching out, inside the bottle. The Red Pikmin excitedly grabs on after noticing this. A tether of several Red, Yellow and Blue Pikmin begins pulling the Red Pikmin up. Atop the bottle, a single Purple Pikmin holds the group from the bottle's entrance, and one by one, it pulls them to the exterior of the bottle, where they jump out from a makeshift can staircase. As the final Pikmin are being brought up, the Red Pikmin sheds a single tear of appreciation. In glee, the Red Pikmin hugs the Blue and the Purple Pikmin, now safely outside the bottle. As it readies to jump out, it hesitates and looks back at the marble, reluctant to let the treasure go. A large group of Pikmin observes the Red and its thoughts.

*On the scene where the Red Pikmin realizes the glass belongs to a bottle, a tune similar to ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rzDXNQxjHs Also Sprach Zarathustra]'' plays.

*The [[Japanese soda cans]] have rust on them and some Japanese on the sides, so the player won't be able to figure out the hidden ones.
