Sparklium is the fuel used to power the S.S. Dolphin II in Hey! Pikmin. When Captain Olimar crashes on the planet introduced in Hey! Pikmin, the S.S. Dolphin II informs him that it has lost the entirety of its fuel and that they need to recover 30,000 Sparklium in order for the ship to become fully functional. The best source of Sparklium is treasures, but Sparklium is more abundant in the form of Sparklium Seeds, which come in golden and red varieties. Additionally, crystals that yield Sparklium can be found in the Sparklium Springs.
Sparklium is also used by the ship to provide Olimar with upgrades, which get unlocked after certain levels of Sparklium are collected. A list of upgrades can be found here.
Sparklium Seed
There are seeds scattered around each area that yield Sparklium when collected. They are collected by having Olimar touch them, and can be carried by Pikmin. These seeds can be found on the ground, floating in the air, appear from defeated enemies, or carried by Coppellers. There are two varieties: the golden seeds are the most common ones, and yield 1 Sparklium each. The red ones are larger and rarer, and yield 5. When the player re-enters an area that has already been explored, any treasure that has been collected will be replaced by a Rainbow Sparklium Seed, worth 50 Sparklium.
