In ''Pikmin 2'', [[treasure]] that is completely underground does not have any obvious indicator of its presence. Only [[White Pikmin]] have the ability to detect this type of treasure, and when they're told to work on the spot the collectible is at, they will begin slowly digging it out until it peaks to the surface, at which point other types of Pikmin may help. The only way a player has to tell that there's treasure in that location is with the [[Treasure Gauge]], or by having White Pikmin scan the floor with the [[group move]] mechanic. It should be noted that in this game, White Pikmin automatically start digging a buried item (whether it is partially or completely buried) without the player's consent; this does not apply to other Pikmin types. | In ''Pikmin 2'', [[treasure]] that is completely underground does not have any obvious indicator of its presence.

Digging is an ability Pikmin have in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3. Pikmin can both dig out something in the ground, or dig their way in some holes.
Digging out objects
Some objects may be partially or completely buried under the ground, and before they can be carried, they must first be completely unearthed by using the Pikmin. The more Pikmin digging out an object at once, the faster it is dug.
In Pikmin 2, treasure that is completely underground does not have any obvious indicator of its presence. Only White Pikmin have the ability to detect this type of treasure, and when they're told to work on the spot the collectible is at, they will begin slowly digging it out until it peaks to the surface, at which point other types of Pikmin may help. The only way a player has to tell that there's treasure in that location is with the Treasure Gauge, or by having White Pikmin scan the floor with the group move mechanic. It should be noted that in this game, White Pikmin automatically start digging a buried item (whether it is partially or completely buried) without the player's consent; this does not apply to other Pikmin types.
In Pikmin 3, all Pikmin types can unearth objects at any depth, removing the White Pikmin's exclusive digging ability. Yellow Pikmin have been given an extra trait, though, in that they can dig out objects faster than other types. Also in this game, bomb rock explosions can help dig out buried items, but they don't affect spacesuit upgrades. Flukeweeds can also be used to pull out objects under the ground, but that does not involve the digging ability Pikmin possess.
Digging into holes
In Pikmin 3, there are two hole obstacles that Pikmin can dig their way through. Dirt mounds are entrances to underground burrows that contain items and tunnels are pathways covered in rubble that can be dug out to allow passage.
List of buried objects
In Pikmin 2, whether a treasure is buried or partially buried is actually a property of the treasure itself and not its locations; the treasure will always have this trait no matter where it is generated.
Fully buried treasures
In Pikmin 2, these treasures are always fully buried and require White Pikmin to obtain:
Partially buried treasures
The following treasures are always partially buried and can have any Pikmin obtain them:
Anxious Sprout
Anti-hiccup Fungus
Toxic Toadstool
Growshroom
Colossal Fossil
Mystical Disc
Omega Flywheel
Spirit Flogger
Exhausted Superstick
Paradoxical Enigma
Courage Reactor- File:Denchi 1 red J icon.png Love and Courage Reactor
Open Architecture
Open Archive
King of Bugs (when spawned through hacking)
Pikmin 3 buried objects
In story mode, fruits and pellets are always partially buried while spacesuit upgrades are always fully buried and create a lump in the ground where they are located. This list applies to story mode only.
