Collecting the fruit

Distant Tundra

Location of the Dapper Blob in the Distant Tundra.

The Dapper Blob in the Distant Tundra is placed on a high stump across the river from the landing site, and is guarded by a Joustmite. Pikmin can only reach it by climbing a nearby stick. Simply charge the climbing Pikmin onto the fruit and they will carry it down the slide and back to the S.S. Drake. However, there is a lone Bearded Amprat along their carrying route, which will attempt to eat the carrying Pikmin if not dealt with.

Tropical Wilds

Location of the Dapper Blob in the Tropical Wilds.

The Dapper Blob in the Tropical Wilds is buried in the ground on a high plateau visited on the story route through the area. It is near bridge fragments and a Swooping Snitchbug. To speed up the digging, it is recommended you kill the Snitchbug before trying to retrieve the fruit.

Twilight River

Location of the Dapper Blob in the Twilight River.

The Dapper Blob in the Twilight River is encased in a large crystal. It is located behind an electric gate and across a small body of water, along with two Yellow Wollyhops. Once the Wollyhops are dealt with, throw Rock Pikmin across the water and use them to shatter the crystal and harvest the fruit within.

Notes

Brittany's notes

US version

“There's something compelling about this shapeless fruit with its tiny hat. It's like the fruit is heading to a fancy party full of debonair berries and upscale squashes! As a botanist, I have to say that that party sounds like the cutest thing that ever cuted!”

European version

“A blob dressed up in a fancy bonnet. I imagine this suave little chap out hobnobbing with the movers and shakers of the botanical world. It's a pity we must eat you, little blob. Fear not though, your bonnet will make a fine addition to my wardrobe.”

Schnauz's notes

“It looks for all the world like this fruit is wearing a jaunty hat! Ah, but the Dapper Blob's attire is beside the point. It's the juicy flesh inside... deeply sweet yet delightfully bitter too...that's the real star of the show here! A fruit fit for royalty!”

Olimar's notes

“Don't ask me how I know, but if you draw a face on this fruit, it bears an uncanny resemblance to my wife wearing a hat. It even emits the same stylish and judgmental aura... Funny how the doodled version of her is as intimidating as the real thing.”

Louie's notes

“Peeling this fruit is a sure way to dye your fingers purple. And it'll be a while before they go back to normal.”
