The Zest Bomb (カボストニタリヨタリ) is a Lime found in Pikmin 3. In the Story Mode of Pikmin 3, it will give you 1 and a half bottles of Juice. The Zest Bomb can be found in the Tropical Wilds, the Garden of Hope, and the Distant Tundra. The fruit is also seen many times throughout Mission Mode, and will give 70 Pokos if returned to the SPERO. They also appear as items in certain Bingo Battle stages, where they function like any ordinary item.

How to Obtain

Tropical Wilds

The fruit is held inside a Peckish Aristocrab located in the large, shallow body of water filled with Yellow Wollywogs and with nearby Fiery Blowhogs. Killing the Aristocrab gives the fruit. Since the crab is in the water, it is recommended to use the Bomb Rock method of killing the Aristocrab to retrieve the fruit, as Rock Pikmin cannot traverse through water.

Garden of Hope

Near the path to the Armored Mawdad's arena is a side area with two sets of Elevator Platforms. The first set is rather simple, and the Zest Bomb is on a cliff near the Platforms. To obtain it, first throw a Pikmin onto one of the two platforms, weighing it down. Next, throw a captain and five Pikmin onto the lower platform. On the opposite platform, throw 7 Pikmin on it to rise the other captain up. From there, the fruit is within easy reach.

Distant Tundra

At first, it'd seem like the fruit is within reach from the land site, but to access it, the player must have rescued Charlie. To start, throw 2 captains over to the area where the Dodge Whistle is. To the far left of the cliff is a Bouncy Mushroom. Proceed to throw a captain and a good amount of Yellow Pikmin over to it. Afterwards, the captain will be on a higher up area near the land site with 2 Bearded Amprats and a Citrus Lump. Kill the creatures and proceed to have the Pikmin work on assembling a slope with the nearby stack of Hay. Now, with the slope complete, the fruit is able to be reached. Be warned, as an Arctic Cannon Larva will shoot snowballs to prevent the player from climbing up the hill. At the top lies a Zest Bomb encased in Crystal.

Notes

Brittany's Notes

"This one's sour but smells really nice. I wonder if the juice would work as a deodorant? I also wonder if we can spare a little for the experiment? Finally, I wonder if the Captain would notice if I doused him in it while his back was turned?"

Brittany's notes are the same for both versions of the game.
