The Slapstick Crescent (カワスベール^?, lit.: "Slippery Peel") is a fruit in Pikmin 3 and a treasure in Pikmin 4. It is a 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 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.

Collecting the fruit[edit]

File:Tropical Wilds minimap.png

Location of the Slapstick Crescent in the Tropical Wilds.

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

In the Tropical Wilds, first go to the northern area containing the seesaw blocks. Nearby, there should be a large body of water. On land, there are two Fiery Blowhogs 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 speedruns, as it is very time-consuming to unearth it and retrieve it otherwise.

Collecting the treasure[edit]

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

Serene Shores[edit]

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[edit]

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 Sheargrubs, which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect this treasure, you must throw 15 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Brittany's notes

US version

“Oh my gosh but this is delicious! So sweet and comforting... I can imagine a little kid eating just gobs of these things. They'll have to be careful around the inedible peel, though. It's extremely slippery and could be a safety hazard.”

European version

“Gosh, this is delicious! Alph's gone absolutely bananas over this...thing. The peel seems quite slippery. But how slippery, I wonder? Slippery enough to dispatch a person? How about a fully-grown man with a moustache? I must find out...in the interests of science.”

Schnauz's notes[edit]

“Clearly this fruit was designed to be sent on outings with children. Note the built-in wrapper that's easy to remove. But children mustn't toss the wrapper on the ground. Someone is sure to slip on it and land on their behind! Hilarious? Maybe. Painful? Definitely.”

Olimar's notes[edit]

“I must confess...I once slipped and fell on a peel that I thoughtlessly discarded onto the floor after eating the fruit inside. I'm really too old to be making mistakes like that. I can even hear my own voice scolding myself. "Don't forget to clean up your trash!"”

Louie's notes[edit]

“Ah, the taste of healthy yet unremarkable choices.”

In other media[edit]

A Slapstick Crescent is one of the treasures that can be acquired in the browser game Pikmin Finder.

Technical information[edit]

Pikmin 3 technical information (?)
Internal name	`banana`
Juice	2.5
Juice color	(255, 255, 0, 255)
Mission Mode points	300
"Size"?	5

Naming[edit]

"Slapstick" is a form of comedy with exaggerated physical actions, in which the banana is often known for banana peel slips. "Crescent" refers to the fruit's curved "C"-like shape.

Names in other languages[edit]

Language	Name	Meaning
Japanese	カワスベール^? Kawa Subēru	Sliiippery Peel
Chinese (traditional)	滑一跤 Huá Yījiāo	Slip Fall
Chinese (simplified)	滑一跤 Huá Yījiāo	Slip Fall
Dutch	Lollige maan	Funny moon
French	Croissant dérapant	Sliding crescent
German	Scherzmond	Jape Moon
Italian	Insidia bucciosa	Peely trap
Korean	껍질미끄덩 Kkeopjil-Mi-Kkeudeong	Shell Slide

Trivia[edit]

One of the Banana Decor Pikmin (Rock Pikmin) that wears a sticker matching the Slapstick Crescent in Pikmin 4.

The Slapstick Crescent and the Pocked Airhead are the only fruits that aren't given by a boss which give 2.5 bottles of juice.
The European text for Brittany's log mentions that "Alph's gone absolutely bananas". This indicates that Koppaites 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. This would make collecting the fruit pointless for the purpose of the Koppaites' mission in Pikmin 3, as they would not be able to extract any seeds from it to cultivate.
- 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.
