If Player 1 gets the Marble Return power-up from a cherry, they can make the marble jump all the way back to their base, stopping Player 2 from stealing it.

In Pikmin 3

This treasure returns in Pikmin 3’s Bingo Battle under the name Red Marble. It serves predominantly as an item for the bingo card, and is often a counterpart for the Blue Marble. It’s weight is reduced to 3 and up to 8 pikmin can carry it.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“I speculate that this crystal is in fact highly intelligent. It must possess telepathic powers. When I peer into it, the reflection of my face is bright red. It must be sensing my stress! Tomorrow, I think I'll sleep through the whole day.”

Sales pitch

“This thought crystal checks your stress levels with its telepathic powers! It is currently all red! RED! RED! RED! The world is filled with stress, and this is the color that represents our society!”
