'''Gold Nuggets''', called '''Nuggets''' in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} cave results menu, are [[treasure]]s in {{p4}} and special collectible items in {{p3}}{{'s}} [[Mission Mode]] and [[Side Stories]]. They are found in piles, and each individual nugget in the pile can be [[Carry|carried]] by 1 Pikmin and delivered to the [[S.S. Beagle]] or [[SPERO]]. If not enough Pikmin are directed to the pile to carry all the nuggets, they will walk back and forth between the S.S. Beagle or SPERO and the pile until all have been taken. If a Pikmin carrying a nugget is whistled, the nugget will disappear and return to the pile. Once all nuggets have been taken from the pile, the pile will disappear. In ''Pikmin 3'', each nugget is worth {{pokos|3|y}}. In ''Pikmin 4'', each nugget is worth {{sparklium|p4|5}}, or 1 point in Dandori stages. They are comparable to real-world {{w|gold nugget}}s. On ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} [[radar]], Gold Nuggets are displayed differently from other treasures, as instead of being represented by a star, they're represented by a small pile of three nuggets, similar to the icon for [[raw material]]s, which have similar carrying mechanics.

{{guide}}

There are 10 Gold Nuggets lying on the ground on the northern section of sublevel 2 of the [[Aquiferous Summit]], next to the [[Memory Fragment (Top Left)]]. The path is blocked by two [[sizzling floor]]s, but the nearby [[paper bag]] can be pushed down to provide a path.
=== Drafty Gallery ===
There are 10 Gold Nuggets near the center of sublevel 2 of the [[Drafty Gallery]]. To retrieve them, either use [[Red Pikmin]], or destroy one of the [[fire geyser]]s along the way back to the [[S.S. Beagle]].

Gold Nuggets, called Nuggets in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4's cave results menu, are treasures in Pikmin 4 and special collectible items in Pikmin 3's Mission Mode and Side Stories. They are found in piles, and each individual nugget in the pile can be carried by 1 Pikmin and delivered to the S.S. Beagle or SPERO. If not enough Pikmin are directed to the pile to carry all the nuggets, they will walk back and forth between the S.S. Beagle or SPERO and the pile until all have been taken. If a Pikmin carrying a nugget is whistled, the nugget will disappear and return to the pile. Once all nuggets have been taken from the pile, the pile will disappear. In Pikmin 3, each nugget is worth Poko × 3. In Pikmin 4, each nugget is worth Sparklium × 5, or 1 point in Dandori stages. They are comparable to real-world gold nuggets. On Pikmin 4's radar, Gold Nuggets are displayed differently from other treasures, as instead of being represented by a star, they're represented by a small pile of three nuggets, similar to the icon for raw materials, which have similar carrying mechanics.

Notes

Schnauz's notes

“What can I say that hasn't been said a thousand times before? Obviously it's gorgeous! And oh, how it glitters! Still, it's not every day one gets to see a Gold Nugget of THIS size. Will the wonders of this strange planet ever cease? I certainly hope not!”

Olimar's notes

“Appears to have the same composition as the gold on my planet. I've heard that some heavy elements, like gold, are created during rare collisions between neutron stars, but to think the same element exists on a faraway planet reminds me...space is so vast.”

Louie's notes

“When I see this, all I want is more.”

Mission Mode tip

“Nuggets are beautiful gems that sparkle softly! One of these gives you Poko × 3!”
