Fruit: Difference between revisions

[[File:Sunseed Berry P3 close up.png|thumb|right|A [[Sunseed Berry]], the first fruit found in {{p3}}.]]

'''Fruits''' are the main collectible item in {{p3}}. There are 66 fruits scattered around 4 of the 5 [[area]]s of the game, and collecting them is necessary to complete the game. They are the reason for [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]]'s journey to [[PNF-404]], as the collection of seeds from fruits is necessary to solve the worldwide hunger crisis on their home planet of [[Koppai]].

In total, there are 66 fruits, belonging to 30 different types, with some of them having appeared as treasures in {{p2}}, bearing the same name. There is a grand total of 98 days' worth of juice, including the three bottles the explorers keep at the start as provisions. Day 99 can be played, but the Koppaites will have no juice at the end, causing a game over. In the [[Difficulty|Ultra-Spicy difficulty]] in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', there is only 49 bottles worth of juice, as the amount of juice provided from each fruit is halved. Interestingly, by highlighting day 1 on the [[day selection menu]], it'll show that at the start of that day, the explorers had 7 bottles of juice. Given that at the end of the day, there are only three bottles on the inventory, this means that when the Drake crash-landed, four of the provisions got lost.

When two different juices are placed on the same bottle, the resulting juice's color will end up as a blend between the two. This is purely aesthetic and affects only the color seen on the bottle. To determine the final color, the game averages the hue and value components of both the existing and the new juice. This works fine for most cases, but can have some oddities; in the case where the player collects a [[Juicy Gaggle]] and a [[Zest Bomb]] and their juices are combined, this results in the color #00FFE5, which is a vibrant blue. Although this color blend is correct, it does not look very natural; indeed, in the real world, combining raspberry and lime juice results in a grayish-brown mix.

"Piktamin U" is a fictional vitamin that the [[Koppai]]tes claim is in some fruits. Its name is a portmanteau of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and vitamin, and the "U" in the vitamin's name is a reference to the [[Wii U]]. Oddly, even the [[Golden Sunseed]], which seems to be more of a [[treasure]] and less of a food, is said to have a lot of Piktamin U, in a [[Mission Mode]] tip.{{cite quote|Golden Sunseeds are packed with Piktamin U! One of these gives you {{pokos|200|y}}!|[[Loading]] screen tip|Mission Mode}}

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', some [[treasure]]s are actually fruits. They do not serve the same purpose as the collectibles in ''Pikmin 3'', but are fruits nevertheless:

*{{icon|Love Nugget|y}}: a tomato; tomatoes are considered vegetables for culinary purposes, but are botanically fruits.

*{{icon|Infernal Vegetable|y}}: a bell pepper; likewise, bell peppers are botanically fruits.

In {{p3d}}, there are five [[badges]] the player can gain from collecting fruits:
