The Love Nugget (ヒトメボレ?, lit.: "Love at First Sight") is a treasure found in the Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4 and is actually a red, ripe tomato. It is found on the first sublevel of the Citadel of Spiders. There are a few Shearwigs that may try to kill Pikmin on the way to the Ship, but it's still rather easy to obtain.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“This tasty red snack isn't quite a fruit, but doesn't seem like a vegetable either. I've analyzed it extensively, and it appears to be releasing stimulating pheromones. Maybe I should feed it to my wife...”

Sales pitch

“One bite and your heart will be filled with a burning fever. Is the feeling love...or hallucination?”

Collecting the treasure

There are two Love Nuggets lying at the bottom of the sink on the upper left edge of the Hero's Hideaway, submerged underwater. To collect them, you must throw 10 Blue Pikmin at each treasure, or 10 of any Pikmin after pressing the nearby button which drains the sink of its water.

Trivia

  • The Love Nugget is one of two fruits in Pikmin 2 that does not appear in Pikmin 3, the other being the Combustion Berry.
  • Olimar's journal entry for the Love Nugget likely references the famous debate around if tomatoes are a fruit or a vegetable.
