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

The treasure is found near the landing site in the Perplexing Pool. It lies on top of a stump, which is rather tall, so it is only accessible to Yellow Pikmin, or Purple Pikmin thrown at the right angle, with a long throw.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“Yellow Pikmin are infatuated with high places! They seem to love it when I toss them high in the air. Once, I hurled them up to a high area, and they came down with this treasure!”

Sales pitch

“More shocking than a lightning bolt! Faster than a light mote! Able to crush rocks in one bash! This device can clear any impediment in one fell swoop!”
