Nintendo Land's plaza contains several prizes of items and objects the player can encounter in each attraction. Some of these prizes represent items found in the Pikmin Adventure attraction. By touching the prizes on the GamePad or by jumping into them with the controllable Mii, the player can see each prize's name as well as a brief description of the item represented, provided by Monita. The following article will detail the relevant objects and items in Pikmin Adventure.

Bulborb Dropping

 
A Bulborb Dropping as seen in the Nintendo Land plaza.

When players are eaten by most Bulborbs, they are turned into a Bulborb Dropping, rendering them almost useless unless they are attacked by other players, enemies, or enter a body of water. To return to normal, the player had to either be attacked by other players, harmed by enemies, or enter a body of water.

Monita's notes

People eaten by a Bulborb are forced to wear this. It's the little details that make this attraction feel like a real Pikmin adventure!

Draft Jumper

 
A Draft Jumper as seen in the Nintendo Land plaza.

Draft Jumpers are gameplay elements that propel the player to another location of the level.

Monita's notes

Drafts of air shoot up from these contraptions, propelling you to a new area. They're usually locked with a key, but don't worry--you'll probably find one.

Heart

 
The regular heart as seen in the Nintendo Land plaza.

Hearts appear in many attractions, including Pikmin Adventure. They restore the player's health. In Pikmin Adventure, the player can have up to three hearts. However, by collecting a bigger version of the regular heart, the player can extend their maximum to six ones.

Monita's notes

This is always a source of relief when it finally appears. I heartily recommend this statue as a romantic meeting point if you're planning a date here at the park!

Jump Switch

 
A Jump Switch as seen in the Nintendo Land plaza.

Jump Switches are similar to Draft Jumpers in that they propel the player to another location. The main difference is that this item will send the players in a closer zone. Moreover, every player needs to stand on it to make it work.

Monita's notes

Gather everyone together on the switch, and you'll be catapulted through the air. Finally, an attraction where you don't have to wait in line!

Nectar

 
A drop of nectar as seen in the Nintendo Land plaza.

Monita's notes

Nectar is a condensed, highly nutritional food source that has been scientifically proven to encourage a Pikmin's growth. Also, it looks delicious.

Rock

 
A rock as seen in the Nintendo Land plaza.

Rocks are gameplay items that can be thrown at enemies. The latter not only get damaged but can also get stunned for some time.

Monita's notes

Pikmin are stronger than you think! Case in point: a single Pikmin can lift even this hefty rock. Just don't throw it carelessly, or you might end up flattening one of your teammates!
