The Anxious Sprout (ソダチノコ^?, lit.: "Child of The Growth") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. It is a bamboo sprout. The treasure is found on sublevel 5 of the Bulblax Kingdom, a sublevel known for its extreme darkness, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs, Orange Bulborbs, and its maze-like layout along with many bomb-rocks. It is mostly buried in the ground, with only a small tip visible. Use White Pikmin to quickly dig it out. Be careful while digging it out, because there is a good chance this will trigger a bomb-rock to fall onto your working Pikmin.

Collecting the treasure

Blossoming Arcadia

There is an Anxious Sprout completely buried near the bottom left of Sublevel 2 of the Kingdom of Beasts. It can be located with the Treasure Gauge or Oatchi. It is guarded by an Orange Bulborb, which should be defeated before attempting to collect this treasure, although it is not strictly necessary. To collect this treasure, you must throw 10 Pikmin in its vicinity.

Giant's Hearth

It is half-buried in a mound of sand near the top of the overworld. It is guarded by two Dwarf Bulbears, which should be defeated before attempting to collect it. To collect this treasure, you must throw 10 Pikmin at it.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“I just realized I completely forgot to put something in my latest expedition report. When carrying fallen creatures or pellets, Pikmin will take them to the Onion of their same color. If a mixed crew of Pikmin are carrying spoils, the color majority dictates the destination. Carry pellets to same-colored Onions to maximize Pikmin seed production.”

Sales pitch

“A quick-growing plant. Good for garden hobbyists or for a snack. Use it however you see fit!”
