Nature's Candy series

A set of nine treasures found in Pikmin 2 (#8-#16).

The Spiny Alien Treat is one of seven treasures found above-ground in the Valley of Repose. It is buried beyond a pool of water near the Emergence Cave. It requires four Pikmin to carry, and is worth 50 Pokos.
- Olimar's Notes: The Valley of Repose is blanketed with a layer of snow. Despite this, here and there plants are sprouting out of the snow. I don't know how much longer the snow will last... It seems like it's getting warmer each day. I wish our frosty financial predicament would warm up a bit.
- The Ship's Ad: Delicious fried or baked, this is an invitation for your taste buds to the world of natural delights! ...As superior as I am, I must leave recipe recommendations to others. Machines are bad liars.

The Anxious Sprout is one of 10 treasures found in the Bulblax Kingdom of the Awakening Wood. It is buried in a random location on the fifth floor. It requires 15 Pikmin to carry, and is worth 50 Pokos.
- Olimar's Notes: 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.
- The Ship's Ad: A quick-growing plant. Good for garden hobbyists or for a snack. Use it however you see fit!

The Child of the Earth is one of 17 treasures found in the Cavern of Chaos of the Wistful Wild. It is buried in a random location on the third floor, along with one other treasure. It requires 15 Pikmin to carry, and is worth 40 Pokos.
- Olimar's Notes: Today, buried in a deep hole, I found a vegetable that I'd never seen before. This dark-dwelling vegetable stores all of its nutritious energy in its roots. The ship named it Child of the Earth, and I think it's fitting.
- The Ship's Ad: This plant has grown fat on the blessings of the land. Its nutritional value must be high!

The Love Nugget is one of 11 treasures found in the Citadel of Spiders of the Perplexing Pool. It is found in a random location on the first floor. It requires 20 Pikmin to carry, and is worth 40 Pokos.
- Olimar's Notes: This tasty red snack isn't quite a fruit, but doesn't seem like a vegetable either. I've analyzed it extensively, and it appears to be releasing stimulating pheromones. Maybe I should feed it to my wife...
- The Ship's Ad: One bite and your heart will be filled with a burning fever. Is the feeling love...or hallucination?

The Infernal Vegetable is one of 15 treasures found in the Cavern of Chaos of the Wistful Wild. It is found in a random location on the fourth floor, along with two other treasures. It requires 12 Pikmin to carry, and is worth 30 Pokos.
- Olimar's Notes: According to the ship's analysis, this gourd contains extremely bitter seeds. However, this analysis was done by a machine, so I'm not completely convinced. Normally I wouldn't mind trying it myself, but I haven't been feeling well since I ate that toxic berry...
- The Ship's Ad: A vegetable with spiciness beyond description. None want to eat it, so it must be healthy! Nutrition-conscious people of today! Numb your palate and eat!

The Anti-hiccup Fungus is one of five treasures found above-ground in the Wistful Wild. It is found in a cove near the Dream Den. It requires five Pikmin to carry, and is worth 30 Pokos.
- Olimar's Notes: What a shocking taste! ...I suppose young people like Louie might find it tasty, but the flavor is too intense for me!
- The Ship's Ad: One bite of this and the surprisingly earthy flavor will send your hiccups packing! Older individuals with a history of heart conditions should devour this with caution!

The Toxic Toadstool is one of six treasures found in the White Flower Garden of the Awakening Wood. It is found in a random location on the fourth floor, along with one other treasure. It requires five Pikmin to carry, and is worth 30 Pokos.
- Olimar's Notes: This dubious morsel doesn't look like it would be very agreeable with my innards. However, I bet Louie would try a bite. His appetite is insatiable...and he's always cooking up tasty meals! I'm glad that on this expedition, our ship's reactor can power our life-support systems indefinitely. This will give us all the time we need to thoroughly examine all of the treasure we recover. I don't care if the president wants us to hurry. I've had enough of his hassling! I think I'll move more slowly just to cause him indigestion.
- The Ship's Ad: This poisonous mushroom is so malicious, I cannot even bear to look at it! This fatal fungus overflows with venom and is perilous indeed...

The Growshroom is one of 17 treasures found in the Cavern of Chaos of the Wistful Wild. It is found in a random location on the sixth floor, along with one other treasure. It requires five Pikmin to carry, and is worth 50 Pokos.
- Olimar's Notes: According to the ship's analysis, you'll grow into a giant if you eat one of these. I'd like to field-test one of these babies. I wonder what would happen if I fed one to a purple Pikmin...
- The Ship's Ad: Eat one of these and grow to twice yoru normal size! Perfect for skinny beings unable to pack on any girth.

The Onion Replica is one of seven treasures found above-ground in the Perplexing Pool. It is buried behind a wall next to the landing site. It requires 20 Pikmin to carry, and is worth 30 Pokos.
- Olimar's Notes: This looks just like one of Hocotate's famous sweet onions! Come to think of it, I gave the Onion its name because it looked just like a Hocotate onion. To avoid confusion, I'll call this vegetable an Onion Replica.
- The Ship's Ad: This plant closely resembles the pride and joy of Hocotate. The comfort of its familiar form and the surprise of its unexpected taste mingle to form...veggie harmony? Try it in some hot soup today!
