Notes
Olimar's journal
“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.”
Sales pitch
“This plant has grown fat on the blessings of the land. Its nutritional value must be high!”
Schnauz's notes[edit]
“This plant sucks the good things out of the ground it grows in to get its lumpy, round shape. No, it doesn't look all that exciting, but I suspect the nutritional value is quite high.”
Olimar's notes[edit]
“During my explorations, I found vegetables like this. I've never seen anything like them. This dark-dwelling vegetable stores all of its nutritious energy in its roots. I think the name that it's been given, Child of the Earth, is very fitting.”
Louie's notes[edit]
“When left unattended, its leftovers will begin to sprout. I might try burying it underground to see if it takes root.”

Potatoes in real life.
Trivia[edit]
- Although Olimar claims he has never seen a potato before, it is clear that potatoes are known toHocotatians, given thatLouie's notes for theEmperor Bulblax mention the vegetable[1]. It is, however, possible that potatoes on Hocotate are different from those on Earth.
- The name is likely a reference to the French word for potato,pomme de terre, which translates to "apple of the Earth".
- Fitting to its name and biology as a potato, almost every instance of the Child of the Earth is found buried in the ground. The only exception is the (fake) Child of the Earth found in theOasis of Order.
