The '''Zest Bomb''' ({{j|カボストニタリヨタリ|Kabosutonitariyotari|Just Like a ''{{w|Kabosu}}''}}) is a [[fruit]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and a [[treasure]] in {{p4}}. It is a {{w|Lime (fruit)|lime}}, and it produces 1.5 bottles of [[juice]] in ''Pikmin 3'' and is worth 60 [[Sparklium]] in ''Pikmin 4''. In ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} [[Story Mode]], it can be found in the [[Tropical Wilds]], the [[Garden of Hope]], and the [[Distant Tundra]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', it can be found in the [[Serene Shores]], the [[Frozen Inferno]], and the [[Cavern for a King]].

=== Tropical Wilds ===

 

=== Garden of Hope ===

In the [[Garden of Hope]], there is a [[segment]] on the side of the area with two sets of [[elevator platform]]s. The first set is rather simple, and the Zest Bomb is on a plateau near the platforms. To obtain it, first throw a Pikmin onto one of the two platforms, weighing it down. Next, throw a leader and five Pikmin onto the lower platform. On the opposite platform, throw at least 7 Pikmin on it to rise the other leader up. Switch to the other leader, and the fruit will be easily reachable.

 

=== Distant Tundra ===

The Zest Bomb in the [[Distant Tundra]] is not far from the landing site, but it is recommended that you have rescued [[Captain Charlie]] before collecting it. Throw 2 leaders over to the plateau next to the [[Dodge Whistle]]. To the far left of the cliff is a [[Bouncy Mushroom]]. Throw a leader and a large amount of Yellow Pikmin onto it. Afterwards, the leader will be on another plateau near the landing site with 2 [[Bearded Amprat]]s and a [[Citrus Lump]]. Kill the enemies and proceed to have the Pikmin work on assembling a slope with the nearby stack of [[hay]]. With the slope complete, the fruit is able to be reached, by following a narrow path between a wall and a small cliff. An [[Arctic Cannon Larva]] will shoot snowballs along this path, so use the alcoves to the left for safety. At the end lies the Zest Bomb encased in a [[crystal]]. Destroy it with [[Rock Pikmin]] to access the fruit. Alternatively, if you have not rescued Charlie, Rock Pikmin can be thrown from the ledge below, but this is an unreliable method.

=== Serene Shores ===

{{location map | width = 350 | height = 325 | image = Serene Shores high tide map.png | caption = Location of the Zest Bomb in the Serene Shores. | icons =

The Zest Bomb in the [[Serene Shores]] is submerged underwater in the southeasternmost body of water. A cluster of [[Dawn Pustules]] is located nearby. It is guarded by a [[Pricklepuff]] and four [[Puckering Blinnow]]s, which should be defeated before attempting to collect this treasure. It can only be collected by [[Blue Pikmin]], or by [[Oatchi]]'s Doggy-Paddle level 3 skill.

 

 

There is a Zest Bomb inside the [[Freezecake]] in the northeastern room of sublevel 3 of the [[Frozen Inferno]]. To collect this treasure, you must first defeat the Freezecake, then retrieve the treasure.

 

 

There is a Zest Bomb lying in a pond along the western edge of sublevel 19 of the [[Cavern for a King]], near to three [[Cupid's Grenade]]s and a [[Blonde Impostor]]. It can only be collected by [[Blue Pikmin]], [[Winged Pikmin]], or [[Oatchi]].

* If the player obtains a Zest Bomb and a [[Juicy Gaggle]] consecutively, such that both types of [[juice]] are combined into the same bottle, the resulting combination will be an odd cyan color, as explained [[Fruit#Blending|here]].
