A pile of '''gold nuggets''', each nugget being taken by a Pikmin, much like how bridges work, once all nuggets are taken the pile will disappear. These are comparable to real-world {{w|gold nugget}}s.
'''Gold Nuggets''', called '''Nuggets''' in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} cave results menu, are [[treasure]]s in {{p4}} and special collectible items in {{p3}}{{'s}} [[Mission Mode]] and [[Side Stories]]. They are found in piles, and each individual nugget in the pile can be [[Carry|carried]] by 1 Pikmin and delivered to the [[S.S. Beagle]] or [[SPERO]]. If not enough Pikmin are directed to the pile to carry all the nuggets, they will walk back and forth between the S.S. Beagle or SPERO and the pile until all have been taken. If a Pikmin carrying a nugget is whistled, the nugget will disappear and return to the pile. Once all nuggets have been taken from the pile, the pile will disappear. In ''Pikmin 3'', each nugget is worth {{pokos|3|y}}. In ''Pikmin 4'', each nugget is worth {{sparklium|p4|5}}, or 1 point in Dandori stages. They are comparable to real-world {{w|gold nugget}}s. On ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} [[radar]], Gold Nuggets are displayed differently from other treasures, as instead of being represented by a star, they're represented by a small pile of three nuggets, similar to the icon for [[raw material]]s, which have similar carrying mechanics.

===Sun-Speckled Terrace===
There are 10 Gold Nuggets lying on the ground near the top of Sublevel 2 of the [[Aquiferous Summit]] in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]], next to the [[Memory Fragment (Top Left)]]. The path is blocked by [[sizzling floor]], meaning that [[Red Pikmin]] are essentially required to collect this treasure, although you can collect it with an [[Oatchi]] with fire immunity. To collect this treasure, you must first extinguish the sizzling floor, then throw 10 Pikmin at it, or 1 Pikmin if the nearby [[paper bag]] has been lowered.

The bridge is guarded by a [[Whiptongue Bulborb]], which should be defeated before anything else. Then, throw between 1 and 20 Pikmin at the treasure.

Gold Nuggets, called Nuggets in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4's cave results menu, are treasures in Pikmin 4 and special collectible items in Pikmin 3's Mission Mode and Side Stories. They are found in piles, and each individual nugget in the pile can be carried by 1 Pikmin and delivered to the S.S. Beagle or SPERO. If not enough Pikmin are directed to the pile to carry all the nuggets, they will walk back and forth between the S.S. Beagle or SPERO and the pile until all have been taken. If a Pikmin carrying a nugget is whistled, the nugget will disappear and return to the pile. Once all nuggets have been taken from the pile, the pile will disappear. In Pikmin 3, each nugget is worth Poko × 3. In Pikmin 4, each nugget is worth Sparklium × 5, or 1 point in Dandori stages. They are comparable to real-world gold nuggets. On Pikmin 4's radar, Gold Nuggets are displayed differently from other treasures, as instead of being represented by a star, they're represented by a small pile of three nuggets, similar to the icon for raw materials, which have similar carrying mechanics.

Notes[edit]

Schnauz's notes[edit]

“What can I say that hasn't been said a thousand times before? Obviously it's gorgeous! And oh, how it glitters! Still, it's not every day one gets to see a Gold Nugget of THIS size. Will the wonders of this strange planet ever cease? I certainly hope not!”

Olimar's notes[edit]

“Appears to have the same composition as the gold on my planet. I've heard that some heavy elements, like gold, are created during rare collisions between neutron stars, but to think the same element exists on a faraway planet reminds me...space is so vast.”

Louie's notes[edit]

“When I see this, all I want is more.”

Mission Mode tip[edit]

“Nuggets are beautiful gems that sparkle softly! One of these gives you Poko × 3!”
