TheArboreal Frippery (イチコロダオレ?, lit.: "One-hit Death") is atreasure found inPikmin 2. It is actually a leaf from aJapanese maple tree, although it is easily confused with amarijuana leaf. It is tied with several treasures for the least amount ofPokos it's worth.
In the Japaneseversion,Olimar's journal entry states that the treasure has a strong sleep-inducing effect, and states that he might want to try it some day, as he has not been able to sleep well recently. The journal and thesales pitch also denote that the wrong amount of it can lead to "eternal sleep", with the ship calling it a "dangerous drug". These notes were slightly altered inthe Switch port.
The leaf is red in the European and Nintendo Switch versions, presumably to drive away the comparison to marijuana. The red leaf version is reused from an earlier set of treasures found in the game's disc.[1]
Collecting the treasure[edit]
The following article or section containsguides. |
The Arboreal Frippery is found inSublevel 4 of theShower Room, which is a large, calm area with only harmlessUnmarked Spectralids and twoQueen Candypop Buds. The water is too shallow to drown Pikmin, so it can be crossed with any type of Pikmin. The treasure is in a pipe, so theTreasure Gauge can be used to find the correct pipe. Since it weighs only one unit,throwing a singlePikmin at it should easily transport the treasure back to theShip's Pod in a hasty manner.
