TheStellar Extrusion (ダンメンホシニタリ^?, lit.: "Stellar Cross Section") is afruit inPikmin 3 and atreasure inPikmin 4. It is astarfruit. InPikmin 3, the fruit comes in 2 halves and each half gives one cup of juice, so the fruit gives 2 cups in total (this is limited to a half and one respectively inUltra-Spicy mode). There are 3 Stellar Extrusions inStory Mode, and they are in theTropical Wilds,Garden of Hope, andDistant Tundra. InPikmin 4, the fruit only appears as a half each time, and can be found in theSerene Shores andFrozen Inferno.

Collecting the fruit[edit]

Tropical Wilds[edit]

File:Tropical Wilds minimap.png

Location of the Stellar Extrusion in the Tropical Wilds.

The Stellar Extrusion in theTropical Wilds is found hanging from a high branch above theseesaw blocks. To get to it, have one leader stay on the seesaw block by the beach, then throw 10Yellow Pikmin up onto theBouncy Mushroom on the other block. Switch to the leader that got raised and proceed to go to the Yellow Pikmin. Carefully guide them up the nearby root until they reach the top of the tree stump. From there,lock on to the fruit and throw the 10 Yellow Pikmin on it. It should fall down and break in half upon impact. It is best to bring more than 10 Pikmin along, in the event that a few don't grab onto the fruit.

By manipulating thecamera angle and usingWinged Pikmin, it is possible to avoid all this. Simply find a place where the Stellar Extrusion is in the view of the camera. Without turning around, move the pointer to the fruit,scan it andquickly order the Winged Pikmin to charge. It must be done quickly, as the game will cancel the scan shortly after it begins, given that the distance from the fruit is too large for the scan to normally work.

Garden of Hope[edit]

See also:Bug-Eyed Crawmad strategy.

The Stellar Extrusion in theGarden of Hope is dropped by aBug-Eyed Crawmad. This Bug-Eyed Crawmad is found in a cave past the area with theFiery Blowhogs and anelectric gate. Another entrance is past a different electric gate and someSkutterchucks. Simply defeat the creature to be able to carry the fruit.

Distant Tundra[edit]

Location of the Stellar Extrusion in the Distant Tundra.

See also:Shaggy Long Legs strategy.

The Stellar Extrusion in theDistant Tundra is dropped by aShaggy Long Legs. This boss can be accessed onceAlph andBrittany reunite, as the entrance to its arena is past a ledge in the cave where theYellow Onion was discovered. Another entrance to its arena is found past the small pond withSkeeterskates,Water Dumples and abamboo gate. (Using aglitch, it can be accessed even earlier, and without any time limit.) IfBlue Pikmin have not yet been found, it is recommended to time the battle so that the boss is defeated above dry land as the fruit pieces may sometimes land in the water at an angle such thatWinged Pikmin cannot retrieve them.

Collecting the treasure[edit]

Serene Shores[edit]

There is a Stellar Extrusion on top of a tall sand mound on the way to the top of the castle, located on the southern edge of the area. By standing on the center of the castle's top, it's located directly north. You can either throw 5Yellow Pikmin at it, or knock it down with arush fromOatchi and throw 5 Pikmin at it. Upon removing it from the sand mound, anArmored Cannon Larva will spawn nearby and attempt to attack you, which should be defeated quickly.

Frozen Inferno[edit]

It is inside of theIcy Blowhog in the northeastern corner of sublevel 2 of theFrozen Inferno. To collect this treasure, you must first defeat the Icy Blowhog, then throw 5 Pikmin at it. There is anice geyser blocking the exit which should be destroyed before attempting to transport it.
