TheDecorative Goo (オレの色^?, lit.: "My Color") is atreasure found inPikmin 2 andPikmin 4. It is a used tube of blue acrylic paint.

InPikmin 2, the label reads "あおいろ^? (lit.: "blue color")" in the Japaneseversion ofPikmin 2, and "Mario Paint" in the American and European version,referencing the gameMario Paint. InPikmin 4, the label is more generic with unreadable text, with the word "Blue" in bold alongside a yellow dot. Like other treasures in theSoulful Artist Series, this one is reminiscent ofBlue Pikmin. It can be found in a sublevel withwater and many water-based enemies, and is likely the first place the player will discover Blue Pikmin.

Treasure Hoard appearance[edit]

The treasure floating in the Treasure Hoard.

Oddly, depending on theregion andarea, the treasure will appear differently when viewed in theTreasure Hoard. In the Japanese version, the treasure always appears correctly. In the US version, the treasure always appears to float above the floor. In the European version, in all areas except thePerplexing Pool, the treasure again appears at ground level, but it lacks a shadow; in the Perplexing Pool, it looks the same as in the US version. All of these differences can also be found in the respectiveWii re-releases for each region.

The reason for this is because in the US version, something unknown changed in the treasure's geometry, making it appear slightly above its origin point, compared to the Japanese version. The US developers did not realize this, and so the treasure is visually floating in that version. For the European version, this oversight was caught, but instead of correcting the model's data, the developers altered the spawn position of the treasure to be five units below floor level.^[1] While this does visually place the tube on the floor, it also means its shadow doesn't appear, since the object's Y coordinate is technically under the floor, and there is no floor below that to project a shadow onto. The coordinates for the Perplexing Pool have not been changed since it is very hard to even notice the problem, given that the treasure is underwater.

Trivia[edit]

• Despite having a changed design in the North American and European versions, the icon for the Decorative Goo is unchanged from the Japanese version inPikmin 2'sNintendo GameCube andNew Play Control! releases.
• A blue stain can be found where thePikmin 2 version of the treasure is located, suggesting that some of the paint in the tube either leaked or was dumped out, possibly by the Blue Pikmin found lurking near it.
• The Decorative Goo is found near Blue Pikmin in both games it appears in, a trait carried over into theSoulful Artist Series with other colors.

The Blue Paint Decor Pikmin.

• The Pikmin 4 version of Decorative Goo is worn by a Blue PaintDecor Pikmin inPikmin Bloom. The paint tube is open, unlike in Pikmin 4.
