The Sunseed Berry is a treasure found in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3. It appears to be a strawberry.

In Pikmin 2

The Sunseed Berry is found sitting on a ledge just across from the landing site in Awakening Wood, and can easily be obtained, as it is guarded only by a Red Bulborb and two Dwarf Red Bulborbs. The ledge is low enough that any type of Pikmin can be thrown up to collect the treasure.

In Pikmin 3

The Sunseed Berry is the first fruit to be found by Alph. There are four Sunseed Berries in the game.

In the Garden of Hope, there are three Sunseed Berries. One is on a ledge next to Brittany's crash site, and can be obtained easily. Another Sunseed Berry is on a ledge by a pile of Fragments used to build an orange bridge; defeat the Skutterchucks nearby, as they may throw crystals at your Pikmin. The last Sunseed Berry is underwater, near the Blue Onion.

In the Distant Tundra, the only Sunseed Berry is inside a Pyroclasmic Slooch, which is in an enclosed area sealed off by a Crystal Wall. Along the way back there is a Joustmite and a Bearded Amprat; defeat these as well to ensure the Pikmin have a safe route back to the ship.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“I found this fascinating fruit while out exploring today. The skies cleared up, and I felt peaceful watching the pink flower petals flutter in the wind. During this perilous expedition, it seems strange to have such softhearted, romantic thoughts. If I told my wife about this, I'm sure I'd get laughed at...again.”

Sales pitch

“This fruit is born of bright sunlight and cheerful warmth. Come, all you gloomy naysayers! One bite and even sad sacks will become foolhardy optimists. Eat one today and change your life!”

Brittany's notes

“As a scientist and as a food eater, I'm excited about this new source of potential nutrition. I just wish it didn't look like it was covered in pimples. Luckily, the taste of it is like delicious and scrumptious had a baby. Let's gather as many of these as we can!”
