The Stately Rubber Cutie (万が一ハンサム?, lit.: "Ten Thousand to One Handsome") is a treasure in Pikmin 4. It is actually a small yellow rubber duck. There are ten of them throughout Story Mode: once in the Industrial Maze, three times in the Serene Shores, once in the Giant's Hearth and the last five are all found in the Cradle of the Beast, inside of the Empress Bulblax which needs to be defeated to collect them. They can also be found in one Dandori Challenge once; the Test Tubs.

Collecting the treasure

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

Industrial Maze

 
Location of the Stately Rubber Cutie on sublevel 2 of the Industrial Maze.

There is a Stately Rubber Cutie in the second sublevel of the Industrial Maze. Right near the starting base, if you jump north up the two steps, there will be some breakable pots nearby with the Stately Rubber Cutie inside. Smash the pots with a rush from Oatchi or with items and then retrieve the treasure.

Serene Shores

Submerged

There are two Stately Rubber Cuties completely submerged in the center of the area, to the east of the entrance to the sand castle. They become exposed when the tide is low, and are hidden behind some weeds. To collect them, you must throw 3 Blue Pikmin at each during high tide or 3 Pikmin at each during low tide. Alternatively, you can also use Oatchi, once his Doggy-Paddle skill is maxed out.

Engulfed Castle exit

There is a Stately Rubber Cutie sitting on a small platform at the southern part of the northwestern corner in the overworld. To collect this treasure, you must clear Engulfed Castle and throw 3 Pikmin at it; the treasure is near the cave's exit.

Giant's Hearth

 
Location of the Stately Rubber Cutie in the Giant's Hearth.

There is a Stately Rubber Cutie stuck on an Arachnode's web west of the center of the overworld. To collect this treasure, you must first defeat the Arachnode, then throw 3 Pikmin at it.

Cradle of the Beast

 
Location of the 5 Stately Rubber Cuties on sublevel 3 of the Cradle of the Beast.
See also: Empress Bulblax Strategy.

There are five Stately Rubber Cuties inside the Empress Bulblax in the northeastern room of sublevel 3 of the Cradle of the Beast. To collect these treasures, you must first defeat the Empress Bulblax and all of the Bulborb Larvae it has spawned nearby. Then, throw 3 Pikmin at each treasure.

Notes

Schnauz's notes

Ah, fret not, Stately Rubber Cutie. Yes, you may be smallish in size, but that does not matter. Cute is cute. In fact, it's quite possible you're even MORE cute because of your smallness. Yes, I do believe you are.

Olimar's notes

Compared to the other treasures found, this sculpture is tiny. Yet with its beak turned courageously upward and its round eyes brimming with the spirit of adventure, I can't help but admire its gallant image. Beauty really can be found around any corner...

Louie's notes

This seems like the right portion size for me.
