The Princess Pearl (ヒメシンジュ^?, lit.: "Princess Pearl") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. In Pikmin 2, it appears as something resembling the bead of a pearl necklace, an earring, or a Christmas tree ornament. In Pikmin 4, the treasure instead resembles the natural pearl of a clam. Being found inside of a Pearly Clamclamp it can be assumed that it is the creature's pearl, though serving the role of a treasure in this game as opposed to the creature's carriable corpse in Pikmin.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 2

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

This treasure can be found on sublevel 6 of the Cavern of Chaos, inside of a Wollyhop. Due to this sublevel featuring many electrical hazards in the form of Anode Beetles and electrical wires, Yellow Pikmin are highly recommended in dealing with these hazards before carrying back the treasure. Additionally, there are lot of water bodies present in this sublevel, meaning that there is a chance that the Wollyhop containing the Princess Pearl can spawn in the water. If this is the case, Blue Pikmin should be used due to their water immunity.

Location of the Princess Pearl in the Serene Shores.

This treasure is inside a Pearly Clamclamp in the circular arena in the northeastern corner of the Serene Shores. This enemy only appears after the middle of the day, when the tide is low. To collect this treasure, the Pearly Clampclamp must be defeated, which can be done by throwing Pikmin onto the treasure and whistling them off before the Clamclamp manages to clam its mouth down on your Pikmin.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“Salvaging this treasure was a dangerous and difficult task. I found it deep in the bowels of a dank, predator-infested cavern. My only hope of surviving was to strategically use all five colors of Pikmin.”

Sales pitch

“This stone is for all the fathers who want their daughters to grow up to be elegant, rather than flashy. There is nothing cheap about the sparkle of this stone. It is the gift you have been looking for!”

Sales pitch (Nintendo Switch)

“This stone is for all fathers who want something beautiful for their daughters, yet want to give a gift that has a hint of panache. There is nothing cheap about the shine of this stone. It is the gift you have been looking for!”

Schnauz's notes

“It's said a king gave this orb to his beloved daughter and that it contains all the wisdom the princess would need as next ruler of the land. Note it is not especially flashy. One can assume that's because good leadership is not about flash but about substance.”

Olimar's notes

“My daughter's loved shiny jewels and trinkets for as long as I can remember. She used to be happy enough with pretty stones and pieces of sea glass, but now all she wants are the more illustrious items like this. That doesn't bode well for my wallet's future...”

Louie's notes

“This would be a great gift for Nana. She could use something shiny.”

Olimar's journal (Japanese)

Text: “このお宝を持ち帰るのは苦労した。複雑な地層から成る、深い洞窟の中で見つけたのだ。まさに混沌の魔窟と名づけるにふさわしい場所だった。生きてもどれたのは、５色のピクミンを状況におうじて使い分けたおかげだろう。”
Translation: “It was difficult to bring this treasure with us. We found it in a deep cave, made up of complex geological formations. It was a place worthy of the name Cavern of Chaos. We made it back alive by using the five different colors of Pikmin, according to the situation.”

Sales pitch (Japanese)

Text: “娘には美しく育ってほしいが、派手になってほしくはない。そんなお父さんの本音をついた宝石。派手なかがやきはないものの、だから娘さんへのプレゼントにぴったり！”
Translation: “You want your daughter to grow up to be beautiful, but not flashy. This jewel reflects such a father's true feelings. Although it does not have a flashy sparkle, that is exactly why it is a perfect gift for your daughter!”
