The '''Slapstick Crescent''' ({{j|カワスベール|Kawa Subēru|Slippery Peel}}) is a [[fruit]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and a [[treasure]] in {{p4}}. It is a {{w|banana}}, and in ''Pikmin 3'', is found buried in the [[Tropical Wilds]]. It produces 2 and a half bottles of juice (one and a quarter in [[difficulty|Ultra-Spicy mode]]), similar to a boss fruit. In ''Pikmin 4'', it has a sticker on with a generic banana brand, and appears in the [[Serene Shores]] and [[Giant's Hearth]].

{{guide}}
In the [[Tropical Wilds]], first go to the northern area containing the [[seesaw block]]s. Nearby, there should be a large body of water. On land, there are two [[Fiery Blowhog]]s which should be killed. In the water, there will be a [[Peckish Aristocrab]]. This will need to be killed as it will be very troublesome for retrieving the fruit if it is still alive. After that, you will reach a dry spot with a small part of the fruit sticking out the ground. You can then set the Pikmin to start [[digging]] it up. It is recommended to do this early in the day and to bring about 30-40 [[Blue Pikmin]] to speed up digging as the Slapstick Crescent will take a very long time to dig up. Alternatively, activating a [[bomb rock]] next to the fruit will cause it to instantly become unearthed. This works with all fruits, but it is most valuable with this fruit, especially for [[speedrun]]s, as it is very time-consuming to unearth it and retrieve it otherwise.


The '''Slapstick Crescent''' (カワスベール) is a [[fruit]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is a {{w|banana}} found in the [[Tropical Wilds]], buried. It produces 2 and a half cups of juice (one and a quarter in [[difficulty|Ultra-Spicy mode]]), equivalent to a boss fruit. In [[Mission Mode]], this fruit is found in the [[Fortress of Festivity]], where there are a whopping four of them. There they are worth 300 [[Pokos]] each when returned to the [[SPERO]].

=== Serene Shores ===
There is a Slapstick Crescent on a small ledge at the easternmost lake of the overworld, a bit to the northeast of the lake's center. It is submerged during high tide and exposed during low tide. To collect this treasure, you must throw 15 [[Blue Pikmin]] at it.
 
=== Giant's Hearth ===
There is a Slapstick Crescent hanging from a cobweb to the northeast of the grill at the center of the area. It is guarded by two [[Mama Sheargrub]]s, which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect this treasure, you must throw 15 Pikmin at it.

*The European text for Brittany's log mentions that "Alph's gone absolutely bananas". This indicates that [[Koppaite]]s might have some idea of what a banana is, or have a similar expression or object in their language, that is different from a real world banana.

*Modern day bananas, primarily Cavendish, do not have seeds and are technically sterile. Technically speaking, this makes collecting the fruit pointless, as the [[Koppaites]] wouldn't be able to extract any seeds from it to cultivate.
* Modern day bananas, primarily Cavendish, do not have seeds and are technically sterile. This would make collecting the fruit pointless for the purpose of the Koppaites' mission in {{p3}}, as they would not be able to extract any seeds from it to cultivate.
**Despite this, the Slapstick Crescent is still required to get the best ending, implying that the Koppaites ''did'' extract seeds from it. This could potentially be an [[oversight]].
** Despite this, the Slapstick Crescent is still required for the all-fruits ending, implying that the Koppaites were either able to extract seeds from the banana, or otherwise duplicate it.
 
* The sticker on the Slapstick Crescent in ''Pikmin 4'' is the same one seen on certain Banana [[Decor Pikmin]] in ''[[Pikmin Bloom]]''.
