Treasures are items scattered across the areas in Pikmin 2 that must be retrieved in order to repay Hocotate Freight's debt. Each one is worth a certain amount of Pokos.
Being the main source of Pokos in the game, and their full collection being necessary to complete the adventure, their importance in the game is quite high. As such, treasures above ground can be commonly found behind some challenge that must be overcome in order to collect it. Underground treasures are usually easier to reach, but because of the caves' cramped nature, it might be hard to retrieve some treasures without first killing enemies that are in the way. A cave must first be exited successfully before the Poko amount of the collected treasures within is counted and they are considered "collected".
Some treasures have special properties in that they add a new ability to the player's arsenal. These belong to the Exploration Kit, and are normally found inside bosses.
In total, there are 201 unique treasures to collect, with some returning in Pikmin 3 as fruits, bearing the same name. Treasures are normally objects found in the real world, but given ridiculous names and descriptions by the clueless Captain Olimar and his ship. Because some items are directly taken from the real world, culture differences are bound to happen. As such, some treasures change in appearance, name, value or index number between versions of the game. Thus, there is a total of 26,985 Pokos' worth in treasures in the NTSC version, 26,790 in the PAL version and 26,181 in the Japanese version.
Treasure Hoard
- Main article: Treasure Hoard.
The Treasure Hoard is an in-game menu in Pikmin 2 that lists all collected treasures. In this screen, the player is able to learn a treasure's value in Pokos, Olimar and the ship's notes and Sales Pitch, and a dynamic view around the object using a free camera mode.
For a list of treasures as well as their attributes, please read the Treasure Hoard article.
