The Micromanagement Station is a treasure in Pikmin 4. It is actually a Game Boy Micro, specifically a version made to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros. in 1985.^[1]

Collecting the treasure

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

It is on a shallow ledge in the southeastern corner of sublevel 1 of the Sightless Passage. To collect this treasure, you must defeat the Water Dumple along the way, as it will otherwise eat the Pikmin carrying it back. Then, you must defeat the Pyroclasmic Slooch guarding it and destroy the fire geyser nearby. Finally, throw at least 10 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Schnauz's notes

“This desk features a built-in display surely used to show important things such as maps and vital statistics. No doubt many heated discussions have taken place over the matters shown here. One hopes that those who worked and fought at this desk also took breaks for rest and frivolity.”

Olimar's notes

“During slow days at work, I like to play this game where I use the zero gravity to float toy rockets in front of the ship's window. Then I act out scenes from my favorite childhood TV show and pretend there's a galactic war going on in the distance... I should probably edit these notes before the president asks to review them.”

Louie's notes

“I jumped out of my skin the first time the display lit up!”
