The Arboreal Frippery (イチコロダオレ?, lit.: "One-hit Death") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. It is actually a leaf from a Japanese maple tree, although it is easily confused with a marijuana leaf. The treasure is found in the fourth sublevel of the Shower Room, which is a large, calm area with only harmless Unmarked Spectralids and two Queen Candypop Buds. The water is too shallow to drown Pikmin, so it can be crossed with any type of Pikmin. The treasure is in a pipe, so the Treasure Gauge can be used to find the correct pipe. Since it weighs only one unit, throwing a single Pikmin at it should easily transport the treasure back to the Ship's Pod in a hasty manner. It is tied with several treasures for the least amount of Pokos it's worth.
In the Japanese version, Olimar's journal entry states that the treasure has a strong sleep-inducing effect, and states that he might want to try it some day, as he has not been able to sleep well recently. The journal and the sales pitch also denote that the wrong amount of it can lead to "eternal sleep", with the ship calling it "dangerous drugs". Its name in the Japanese version means "One-hit Death".
The leaf is red in the European version, as well all regions of the Switch port, presumably to drive away the comparison to marijuana. The red leaf version is reused from an earlier set of treasures found in the game's disc.[1]
