The '''Cupid's Grenade''' ({{j|ヤブレカブレ|Yaburekabure|Desperation}}) is a [[treasure]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}, and a [[fruit]] in {{p3}}. It is actually a {{w|cherry}}.


The '''Cupid's Grenade''' appears as a [[treasure]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and as a [[fruit]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is simply a {{w|cherry}}. In ''Pikmin 2'', it is on the [[Snagret Hole]], and in ''Pikmin 3'', it appears three times in story mode, and several times in [[Mission Mode]]. This fruit plays a special role in both games' competitive two-player mode.
In ''Pikmin 2'', it is found in the [[Snagret Hole]], and is worth 20 [[Poko]]s. It and the [[Science Project]] are tied for the third least-valuable treasures in the game.


==Collecting the treasure==
In ''Pikmin 3'', it is found twice in the [[Distant Tundra]] and once in the [[Tropical Wilds]], and contributes half a bottle of [[juice]] to the player's supply (a quarter in [[Difficulty|Ultra-Spicy difficulty]]). This fruit also has a special role in [[2-Player Battle]] and [[Bingo Battle]], as collecting one in those modes gives the player a power-up.
 
In ''Pikmin 4'' it can be found in groups of three at a time. One group is in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]], the other in the [[Cavern for a King]].

The Cupid's Grenade in ''Pikmin 2'' is found on sublevel 4 of the [[Snagret Hole]], and is located in one of the many alcoves, near multiple [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e and other [[hazard]]s.
The Cupid's Grenade in ''Pikmin 2'' is found on sublevel 4 of the [[Snagret Hole]], and is located in one of the many alcoves of the sublevel, near multiple [[Armored Cannon Larva|Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e and other [[hazard]]s, which should be cleared before collecting the treasure to ensure safety.

===Tropical Wilds===
=== Tropical Wilds ===
The Cupid's Grenade in the Tropical Wilds is on a small, raised island near the landing site. One Blue or Winged Pikmin is all that is needed to recover the cherry.

The Cupid's Grenade in the [[Tropical Wilds]] is on a small island in a lake just north of the landing site. [[Throw]] a [[Blue Pikmin]] or [[charge]] a [[Winged Pikmin]] at the fruit to pick it up and carry it to the [[S.S. Drake]].

=== Distant Tundra ===
{{location map | width = 350 | height = 327 | image = Distant Tundra minimap.png | caption = Locations of the Cupid's Grenade in the Distant Tundra. The one on the left is in the northwest; the one on the right is near the landing site. | icons =

==== Landing site ====
The [[Distant Tundra]] has 2 of this kind of fruit. One is located on top of a snowman near the landing site, slightly buried in the ground. While it may seem like it requires [[Yellow Pikmin]] to obtain due to its height, any Pikmin can reach the fruit. It is the closest fruit to the landing site in the game.
 
==== Northwest ====
The other Cupid's Grenade in the Distant Tundra is next to an [[iron ball]] embedded within a snowdrift at the top of a hill, in the northwest of the main segment of the area. This fruit is directly on the main route through the story in the area, so it is very easy to collect.

===Distant Tundra (landing site)===
=== Blossoming Arcadia ===
This Cupid's Grenade is on top of a snowman near the landing site, and while it seems like it requires Yellow Pikmin to obtain, any Pikmin can reach the fruit.
There are three Cupid's Grenades near a [[Waddlequaff]] in the southwestern section of the overworld. The Cupid's Grenades are swallowed by the Waddlequaff almost immediately, so they will probably be inside of it. To get to the Waddlequaff in question, you will need to build a bridge from the westernmost part of the area. Then, either defeat the Waddlequaff and throw 1 Pikmin at each treasure, or throw 1 Pikmin when the Waddlequaff spits each one out, and distract it while the treasure is being carried off.


===Distant Tundra (northwest)===
=== Cavern for a King ===
The second Cupid's Grenade in the Distant Tundra is next to an [[iron ball]] embedded within a snowdrift at the top of a hill, on the northwest of the main section of the area.
There are three Cupid's Grenades lying in a pond along the western edge of sublevel 19 of the [[Cavern for a King]], next to a [[Zest Bomb]] and a [[Blonde Impostor]]. To collect them, you must throw 1 [[Blue Pikmin]] or [[Winged Pikmin]] at each treasure.


==In battle modes==
{{clear}}
The Cupid's Grenade appears in [[2-Player Battle]] and [[Bingo Battle]].


While playing, a cherry spawns somewhere on the area every once in a while. It only takes one [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to carry, and it is brought to the team's [[Onion]]. When a cherry is acquired, a roulette appears and the player who got the cherry will obtain a special item that will give an edge in battle. Up to five of these rewards can be stored at any given time.
== In 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle ==
[[File:P3 Using the Rock Storm.png|thumb|200px|Player 1 carries a cherry and uses a power-up to attack Player 2.]]
The Cupid's Grenade appears in [[2-Player Battle]] and [[Bingo Battle]], and plays a special role in each of these modes. During a match, Cupid's Grenades will spawn in various locations in the stage every once in a while, increasing in frequency as the match continues. They can be carried back to a team's [[Onion]], and upon doing so, the player will obtain a random power-up. A roulette wheel will spin in the HUD and when it finishes spinning, the player who collected the cherry can press a button to use the power-up. By collecting multiple cherries, each player can have additional powerups stored, up to 5 at a time. A list of powerups is available at [[2-Player Battle#Roulette wheel]] and [[Bingo Battle#Items]].

'''Golden Grenades''' are fruits only found in the [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]] of ''Pikmin 3''. They are golden versions of the Cupid's Grenade, and are worth a lot more. In Bingo Battle, they play a role similar to Cupid's Grenades in the fact that they give the player items via roulette. However, getting a Golden Grenade automatically awards five powers at once. As a result, they are much more rare than Cupid's Grenades.
'''Golden Grenades''' are fruits only found in [[Mission Mode]], [[Bingo Battle]], and the [[Side Stories]] in ''Pikmin 3''. They are golden versions of the Cupid's Grenade, and are worth many more [[Poko]]s. They appear very rarely in Bingo Battle, where they reward 5 power-ups to the player upon collection. According to [[Loading#Tip|loading screen tips]] in Mission Mode, they are packed with Piktamin U.

==Names in other languages==
== Trivia ==
* [[Olimar's notes]] version in some versions of ''Pikmin 2'' appear to be detailing the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]. However, this is not the case, as the Japanese and European versions of the notes more clearly describe the treasure. This mistake stems from the original Japanese text, where the cherry was described to be the produce of a tree that bears two different fruits. The separation between the tree and the fruit was mistranslated away in the North America release, causing the confusion.
** Olimar's notes on the Cupid's Grenade in ''Pikmin 4'' are almost entirely unaltered from their incarnation in ''Pikmin 2'', with a minor edit removing Olimar's comment on Louie baking the berries into a pie, making it closer to the Japanese version.

The Cupid's Grenade (ヤブレカブレ?, lit.: "Desperation") is a treasure in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4, and a fruit in Pikmin 3. It is actually a cherry.

In Pikmin 2, it is found in the Snagret Hole, and is worth 20 Pokos. It and the Science Project are tied for the third least-valuable treasures in the game.

In Pikmin 3, it is found twice in the Distant Tundra and once in the Tropical Wilds, and contributes half a bottle of juice to the player's supply (a quarter in Ultra-Spicy difficulty). This fruit also has a special role in 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle, as collecting one in those modes gives the player a power-up.

In Pikmin 4 it can be found in groups of three at a time. One group is in the Blossoming Arcadia, the other in the Cavern for a King.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 2[edit]

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

The Cupid's Grenade in Pikmin 2 is found on sublevel 4 of the Snagret Hole, and is located in one of the many alcoves of the sublevel, near multiple Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae and other hazards, which should be cleared before collecting the treasure to ensure safety.

Collecting the fruit[edit]

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

Tropical Wilds[edit]

Location of the Cupid's Grenade in the Tropical Wilds.

The Cupid's Grenade in the Tropical Wilds is on a small island in a lake just north of the landing site. Throw a Blue Pikmin or charge a Winged Pikmin at the fruit to pick it up and carry it to the S.S. Drake.

Distant Tundra[edit]

Locations of the Cupid's Grenade in the Distant Tundra. The one on the left is in the northwest; the one on the right is near the landing site.

Landing site[edit]

The Distant Tundra has 2 of this kind of fruit. One is located on top of a snowman near the landing site, slightly buried in the ground. While it may seem like it requires Yellow Pikmin to obtain due to its height, any Pikmin can reach the fruit. It is the closest fruit to the landing site in the game.

Northwest[edit]

The other Cupid's Grenade in the Distant Tundra is next to an iron ball embedded within a snowdrift at the top of a hill, in the northwest of the main segment of the area. This fruit is directly on the main route through the story in the area, so it is very easy to collect.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 4[edit]

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

Blossoming Arcadia[edit]

There are three Cupid's Grenades near a Waddlequaff in the southwestern section of the overworld. The Cupid's Grenades are swallowed by the Waddlequaff almost immediately, so they will probably be inside of it. To get to the Waddlequaff in question, you will need to build a bridge from the westernmost part of the area. Then, either defeat the Waddlequaff and throw 1 Pikmin at each treasure, or throw 1 Pikmin when the Waddlequaff spits each one out, and distract it while the treasure is being carried off.

Cavern for a King[edit]

There are three Cupid's Grenades lying in a pond along the western edge of sublevel 19 of the Cavern for a King, next to a Zest Bomb and a Blonde Impostor. To collect them, you must throw 1 Blue Pikmin or Winged Pikmin at each treasure.

In 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle[edit]

Using the Rock Storm item in Bingo Battle.
Player 1 carries a cherry and uses a power-up to attack Player 2.

The Cupid's Grenade appears in 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle, and plays a special role in each of these modes. During a match, Cupid's Grenades will spawn in various locations in the stage every once in a while, increasing in frequency as the match continues. They can be carried back to a team's Onion, and upon doing so, the player will obtain a random power-up. A roulette wheel will spin in the HUD and when it finishes spinning, the player who collected the cherry can press a button to use the power-up. By collecting multiple cherries, each player can have additional powerups stored, up to 5 at a time. A list of powerups is available at 2-Player Battle#Roulette wheel and Bingo Battle#Items.

Notes

Olimar's journal

GameCube GameCube
What a perplexing plant... It appears to be carrying two different types of berries! They must be a rare species of fruit. Both have odd traits. One seems to be a suppressant, while the other is a stimulant. It's not easy to tell which is which. I'd better be careful with them. I should also warn Louie, or else he may try to bake these berries in a pie.

Wii Wii European version European version
What a perplexing fruit... It appears to possess two curiously conflicting traits. At times, consuming it can bring forth wonderful feelings of love and affection. At other times, it can completely suppress all romantic inclinations. Its unpredictable nature means that I must be careful with it. I'll also warn Louie, or else he's liable to try baking it in a pie.

Sales pitch

Fate's tapestry has unraveled. Tomorrow weeps. Romance has fallen, love is madness. ...To mend the rift between two cross lovers, this is the ultimate weapon in Cupid's arsenal.

Brittany's notes

Yes! The people of Koppai will be thrilled that we found this sweet, entirely delicious food source. They'll adore us forever when we introduce them to the weapon of mass nutrition.

Olimar's journal (Nintendo Switch)[edit]

What a perplexing fruit... It appears to be from a tree that produces two types of berries that look identical. But some inspire romance, and others do the opposite. It's not easy to tell which is which. I'd better be careful with them. I should also warn Louie, or else he may try to bake this berry in a pie.

Sales pitch (Nintendo Switch)[edit]

Fate's tapestry has unraveled. Tomorrow weeps. Romance has fallen. Love is madness. ...To mend the rift between two cross lovers, this is the ultimate weapon in Cupid's arsenal.

Schnauz's notes[edit]

A fruit both powerful and delicate! It reminds me of something I once read... "Fate's tapestry has unraveled. Tomorrow weeps. Romance has fallen; love is madness. To mend the rift between two cross lovers, this is the ultimate weapon in Cupid's arsenal."

Olimar's notes[edit]

What a perplexing plant... It appears to be carrying two different types of berries! They must be a rare species of fruit. Both have odd traits. One seems to be a suppressant, while the other is a stimulant. It's not easy to tell which is which.

Louie's notes[edit]

The balance between sweet and sour is almost addictive. I always want just one more bite.

Golden Grenades are fruits only found in Mission Mode, Bingo Battle, and the Side Stories in Pikmin 3. They are golden versions of the Cupid's Grenade, and are worth many more Pokos. They appear very rarely in Bingo Battle, where they reward 5 power-ups to the player upon collection. According to loading screen tips in Mission Mode, they are packed with Piktamin U.

Trivia[edit]

  • Olimar's notes version in some versions of Pikmin 2 appear to be detailing the Burgeoning Spiderwort. However, this is not the case, as the Japanese and European versions of the notes more clearly describe the treasure. This mistake stems from the original Japanese text, where the cherry was described to be the produce of a tree that bears two different fruits. The separation between the tree and the fruit was mistranslated away in the North America release, causing the confusion.
    • Olimar's notes on the Cupid's Grenade in Pikmin 4 are almost entirely unaltered from their incarnation in Pikmin 2, with a minor edit removing Olimar's comment on Louie baking the berries into a pie, making it closer to the Japanese version.
