The Unspeakable Wonder (トレジャー・オブ・ワンダー?, lit.: "Treasure of Wonder") is a treasure in Pikmin 2. It is a golden crown with rubies and sapphires embedded on each side, which closely resembles the crown worn by Princess Peach from the Super Mario series. It is found on top of a snowman's head in the Valley of Repose, near the Frontier Cavern.

Collecting the treasure

 
Location of the Unspeakable Wonder.

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

After clearing a path, be wary of the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva buried near the treasure. This beast has the vantage of location, so it can be difficult to attack. Try to have it release a rock down one side of the slope, then run up the other side quickly with Pikmin and throw them onto its body; when they are flung off, whistle them back up. This strategy should mean that the Cannon Beetle does not turn around, as long as Pikmin are quickly thrown back on.

Alternatively, a lone leader can be used as a decoy to distract the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva. If a leader uses the Five-man Napsack to lie down directly behind the enemy, the Cannon Beetle Larva will turn around and repeatedly shoot boulders at the wall. This creates ample opportunity for Purple Pikmin to follow the second leader up the slope, which can then be used to swiftly kill the enemy.

Because of its position, the treasure itself can be difficult to get Pikmin to carry. They often cannot reach the ground while holding it, and take a long time to maneuver into a suitable position. The best approach to collection is to throw Pikmin at all sides of the crown. Yellow Pikmin are recommended for this, as the treasure is somewhat high. Purple Pikmin are also viable, as only 3 are required to move the treasure. Moving the corpse of the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva, along with any pellets dropped by the enemy down the slope is also effective in getting the treasure down quickly.

Notes

Olimar's journal

What...is...this?! I've encountered countless treasures on this expedition, but I've never seen anything like this. All I can say about it is that it's both astounding and absurd.
