The Lesser Mock Bottom (コシリソックリ?, lit.: "Just Like a Little Butt") is a fruit in Pikmin 3. It is a Japanese plum, and is found in the Tropical Wilds, Garden of Hope, and Twilight River. It gives one bottle of purple-pink juice (one half in Ultra-Spicy mode). In Mission Mode, it is worth 50 Pokos.

Collecting the fruit

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

Tropical Wilds

 
Location of the Lesser Mock Bottom in the Tropical Wilds.

The Lesser Mock Bottom in the Tropical Wilds is found near some Pyroclasmic Slooches. From the small bridge near the land site, turn right and go past the waterfall. There will then be a dirt mound, and beyond that, some Pyroclasmic Slooches. There will be a cluster of Spotcaps, and next to them is the fruit. Make sure to have taken care of the Hermit Crawmad near the base to assure an easy collection.

Garden of Hope

 
Location of the Lesser Mock Bottom in the Garden of Hope.

The Lesser Mock Bottom in the Garden of Hope is in the second half of the area, accessible only after Louie runs off. Near where the pot-shaped bridge is/would be is a high ledge with a Flukeweed. With at least 3 Winged Pikmin, charge the Flukeweed from under the water. If the teacup is built, it is possible to throw a leader over with some Winged Pikmin, but charging should be enough to retrieve the fruit.

Twilight River

 
Location of the Lesser Mock Bottom in the Twilight River.

The Lesser Mock Bottom in the Twilight River is in the area where Winged Pikmin are discovered, hidden under a Flukeweed. It is under the Flukeweed closest to the river and requires three Winged Pikmin to uproot. Simply have the Winged Pikmin carry the fruit over the river to the S.S. Drake.

Sun-Speckled Terrace

There is a Lesser Mock Bottom hidden inside a ceramic pot in the top-right of the overworld. To collect it, you must Rush the pot with Oatchi to break it, then throw 3 Pikmin at it. The Pikmin will go up the slope, triggering three Female Sheargrubs to crawl up from the dirt if they have not yet been encountered, who will attempt to attack the carrying Pikmin.

Serene Shores

There is a Lesser Mock Bottom buried under a sand mound at the top-left of the overworld. To collect this treasure, you must throw 3 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Brittany's notes

  US version
This fruit's flesh is soft and pale yellow. It's juicy and has a sweet-sour flavor. I must also note that it's shaped almost exactly like a baby's bottom. While the scientific merit of this observation is debatable, the adorability is not.
  European version
This fruit's flesh is soft and pale yellow. It's juicy and has a sweet-sour flavor. I must also note that it's shaped almost exactly like a baby's bottom. What the scientific merit of this observation is, I have no idea.

Schnauz's Notes

It's true - the rounded surface of this fruit is smooth as a baby's bottom. Meanwhile, the pale yellow flesh inside offers a refreshing flavor profile that is at once sweet and also sour, really, as fruits go, it has much to offer.
