Notes

Olimar's journal

“Among the treasures we've collected, many of them have strange scrawlings on them. Unfortunately, the alien writings are indecipherable. But the pictures can be understood easily enough. This one seems to have a picture of a fruit on it. Ahhh... If that's the case, then this canister must contain sweet nectar... A quick taste won't hurt...”

Sales pitch

“A taste of knowledge from a foreign world, this container holds juices of a primitive fruit! If you are a devotee of genuine taste, you cannot pass this up!”
