The Insect Condo (バグズ・キングダム?, lit.: "Bugs' Kingdom") is a treasure in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4, and a fruit in Pikmin 3. It is an apple.

In Pikmin 2, it is located on sublevel 5 of the Dream Den inside of a Fiery Bulblax. It is also located in the game's Challenge Mode levels: Once in the Novice Training and once in the Green Hole.

In Pikmin 3, it is located in the Twilight River inside of the Burrowing Snagret. It can also be found in the game's Mission Mode levels: Once in the Tropical Forest, four times in the Silver Lake, three times in the Thirsty Desert, seven times in the Twilight Hollow, once in the Shaded Garden, twice in the Silver Lake Remix, three times in the Thirsty Desert Remix, seven times in the Fortress of Festivity and once in The Rustyard.

In Pikmin 4, it is located once on sublevel 4 of the Engulfed Castle and once in sublevel 2 of the Frozen Inferno. It can also be found in the game's Dandori Battles and once in the 8th Story of the Trial of the Sage Leaf.

In all games, the notes for this fruit imply that it is contaminated with parasites.

See also: Fiery Bulblax strategy.

The Insect Condo is found inside a Fiery Bulblax in sublevel 5 of the Dream Den. The player should be sure to defeat the Red Bulborbs and Blowhogs nearby, because they may attack the Pikmin while they're carrying the treasure.

Collecting the fruit in Pikmin 3[edit]

A map of the Twilight River as it appears on the mini radar in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. This was made by manually arranging the textures for each section of the area to align with the corresponding radar map.

See also: Burrowing Snagret strategy.

In Pikmin 3, the Insect Condo is inside a Burrowing Snagret, which is in an arena just past an electric gate in Twilight River. After defeating the Burrowing Snagret, the paper bag to the northeast of the arena should be pushed, creating a quick route back to the ship. Along the route are two Desiccated Skitter Leaves, which will eat the carrying Pikmin if not defeated.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 4[edit]

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Notes

Olimar's journal

This sumptuous nugget may look delicious, but internal scans indicate a parasitic infestation! The ship can't stand to even look at these pests, let alone store them. But I had to put my foot down on this one.

Sales pitch

Awash in color and sugars, this item makes an ideal home for many insect species. I am sure this is valuable to the scientific community, but it has little value as a commodity.

Brittany's notes

US version US version
That smell! I can't tear my nose away from that smell! I'd dive right in and start eating, but something about this name the computer supplied makes me just a touch suspicious about what's going on inside this thing...
European version European version
I'm having difficulties prying my nose away from the crisp, sweet scent. I'd dive in and devour, but something about the name leads me to suspect our ownership of this specimen may be contested. I won't trespass until we've conducted a proper survey.

Olimar's journal (Nintendo Switch)[edit]

Internal scans reveal that this juicy nugget can support a symbiotic community! Imagine the benefits... The ship can't stand to even look at bugs, let alone store them. But I had to put my foot down on this one.

Schnauz's notes[edit]

This fruit is a member of the plant family "Bugeatenidae." As its name implies, the Insect Condo is a popular abode choice for a number of insects. And who can blame the bugs for taking up residence here? This fruit is not just homey but also quite delicious.

Olimar's notes[edit]

This fruit could be hiding more than a tasty interior... On more than a few occasions, I've found bugs munching their way through the sweet flesh, presumably enjoying a snack of their own. How funny to think that I share the same taste in fruit as a worm.

Louie's notes[edit]

Crispy yet juicy. Light yet hearty. Always check for worms before taking a big bite. If you find one, it's a sign of good luck.

Olimar's journal (Japanese)[edit]

  • Text: 外見はおいしそうだが、内部をスキャンした結果、数十種類のバグに寄生されていることがわかった。バグが苦手のドルフィン初号機は収容するのをイヤがっていたが、私は有無をいわせなかった。やかましいあいつも今日はずっとおとなしかったな。
  • Translation: It looked tasty on the outside, but a scan of its interior revealed that it is parasitized by dozens of different kinds of bugs. The ship, who does not like bugs, didn't want to house it, but I didn't give it any choice. That loudmouth has been much quieter today.

Sales pitch (Japanese)[edit]

  • Text: ムシクイ科ノ植物デ、数十種類ノバグニ寄生サレテイルコトカラ、「虫王国バグズ・キングダム」ト呼バレ、学術的ニタイヘン貴重デス。ワ、私ニハ貴重デハアリマセンケドネ!
  • Translation: A plant of the bugeatenidae family, it's called the "Bugs' Kingdom" because it is parasitized by dozens of different kinds of bugs, and is very valuable academically. N-not so valuable to me, though![note 1]

Brittany's notes (Japanese)[edit]

  • Text: 果汁の量も多く、これだけあれば何日分かの食料になるだろう。しかし、この香りの誘惑に勝つのは困難だ。”ガマン”。これができれば、アタシたちの故郷はあんなことにはならなかっただろう。
  • Translation: The amount of juice is so great that this should feed us for several days. However, it's hard to resist the temptation of this aroma. "Patience". If we had it, our homeland would not be in such a state.
