Collecting the treasure

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

Kingdom of Beasts

There is a Planetary Rubber Cutie lying on the ground at the northwesternmost corner of sublevel 4 of the Kingdom of Beasts. To collect this treasure, you must first send Oatchi through his nearby tunnel to press a button that drops the iron fences blocking it. Then, you must throw 5 Pikmin at it. There is a Whiptongue Bulborb and fire geysers along the way which can be dealt with first, although it's not necessary.

Seafloor Resort

There are two Planetary Rubber Cuties on the large island in the southeastern corner of sublevel 2 of the Seafloor Resort. Each one has a Fiery Dweevil underneath it, which must be defeated to collect the treasure. Then, throw 5 Blue Pikmin at each one to collect them.

Plunder Palace

There is a Planetary Rubber Cutie hanging from a cobweb in the southwestern corner of sublevel 4 of the Plunder Palace. To collect this treasure, you must throw 5 Yellow Pikmin at it. A nearby Breadbug may attempt to steal it, in which case you will need to either damage it or best it in tug-of-war.

Cavern for a King

There is a Planetary Rubber Cutie sitting atop a floating platform near the center of sublevel 6 of the Cavern for a King. To collect this treasure, you must navigate your way through several moving platforms and fans before ending up at the fan on the eastern edge of the sublevel, which will take you to the treasure.

Notes

Schnauz's notes

Look at those adorable features and darling proportions! This creature may be rather medium in size, but that does not mean it is a medium amount of cuteness. No! I'm quite certain it possesses enough cuteness to charm an entire planet!

Olimar's notes

Has well-proportioned facial features and a smooth exterior. Its hollow interior allows it to float on water. I thought long and hard about what creature inspired this treasure, and before I knew it, I was petting its beak. I'm powerless in the face of cuteness!

Louie's notes

Still not sure if it's edible. Also not sure if something can taste as handsome as it looks.
