Pikmin Treasure Hunt

Pikmin Treasure Hunt is a lost Pikmin game where players would recover treasures from various web sites. It was released on October 13th 2004 and seemingly run by Nintendo of America employee "NOA_MATT" from the NSider forums. Players would receive hints from their own ship's computer, and even one hint from the president of Hocotate Freight himself. These clues and hints would let the player learn which treasures were on which web site. The first 100 players who won would get free Pikmin plushies, but the rest would receive a free wallpaper.

Clues

Gyro Bust

Captain, my data has discovered ancient text, a joke, that I shall read: "Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side." My CPU does not get it. Where would this chicken cross the road? The BEAST-TRAIL?

The chicken joke still bothers my circuits. What purpose would a chicken have to use the CREATURE-PATH when it could use wings and flap over the road?

So many clues and you still can't get the Gyroid Bust? Very well, if my scans read correctly, I believe you'll find the treasure at an ANIMAL CROSSING.

Stone of Glory

In some civilizations, my research shows, bravery is rewarded with a ROCK OF HONOR. Sometimes it's mounted to a ribbon and placed around the brave one's neck.

In other civilizations, greatness is rewarded with a GEM OF GLORY. But instead of giving it to the person, the person just gets to look at until someone else does something great. Then they get to look at the stone.

Captain, my sensors are recording... music. How odd. And yet...satisfying. Hmmm... the name of their next album is STONE OF GLORY. Ah! The treasure!
