TheSunseed Berry (ヒダマリノミ^?, lit.: "Sunny Spot Fruit") is atreasure found inPikmin 2 andPikmin 4, and afruit inPikmin 3. It is a regularstrawberry. InPikmin 2, it is found in theAwakening Wood, while inPikmin 3, there are four of them: three in theGarden of Hope and one in theDistant Tundra.

Collecting the treasure inPikmin 2[edit]

File:AW texture.png

Location of the Sunseed Berry.

The Sunseed Berry is found sitting on a ledge just across from the landing site inAwakening Wood, and can be quite easily obtained. It is guarded only by a singleRed Bulborb and twoDwarf Red Bulborbs. The ledge is low enough that any type ofPikmin can bethrown up to collect the treasure. Alternately, you can go around to the path that leads to theSnagret Hole and obtain it from there, but this is more time consuming, dangerous, and overall impractical.

Collecting the fruit[edit]

Garden of Hope[edit]

File:Garden of Hope minimap.png

Locations of the Sunseed Berry in the Garden of Hope. The leftmost is underwater, the uppermost one is at the lakeside, and the rightmost one is near Brittany's crash site.

Brittany's crash site[edit]

This Sunseed Berry is on a ledge next toBrittany's crash site, and is the very first fruit found in the game. It acts as a tutorial for fruit collecting, and will be obtained naturally during said tutorial. Defeat theBulborb on the path back to the ship to ensure a safe recovery.

Lakeside[edit]

Another Sunseed Berry is on a ledge by a pile of fragments used to build an orangebridge. It is recommended to let the bridge be built before the fruit is carried, as it will reach theS.S. Drake much faster. Be sure to defeat theSkutterchucks nearby (or alternatively break all of their crystals), as they may launch the nearbycrystal nodules at your Pikmin.

Underwater[edit]

Another Sunseed Berry in theGarden of Hope is underwater, past the large cinderblock that the Hocotatian blows up late into the game. It is near adirt wall. It is protected by severalPuckering Blinnows, which should be defeated so the Pikmin can safely carry the fruit.

Distant Tundra[edit]

File:Distant Tundra minimap.png

Location of the Sunseed Berry in the Distant Tundra.

In theDistant Tundra, the only Sunseed Berry is inside one member of a duo ofPyroclasmic Slooches, which are in an enclosed area sealed off by acrystal wall. Along the way back there is aJoustmite and aBearded Amprat; defeat these as well to ensure the Pikmin have a safe route back to the ship.

Collecting the treasure inPikmin 4[edit]

Sun-Speckled Terrace[edit]

File:P4 Map Sun-Speckled Terrace.png

Location of the Sunseed Berry in the Sun-Speckled Terrace.

The Sunseed Berry is on top of a small ledge in the central area of the map in theSun-Speckled Terrace, close to the Rugged Scaffoldbase. To get to it,Oatchi must be able tojump. Once near it, it can be collected simply by throwing 3 Pikmin up the ledge, or knocking it down with arush from Oatchi.

Seafloor Resort[edit]

File:Seafloor Resort Sublevel 1 map.png

Location of the Sunseed Berry in the Seafloor Resort.

A Sunseed Berry is sitting on top of a tall ledge on the far eastern side of sublevel 1 of theSeafloor Resort. It is blocked by the sprinkler system, so you must either build and turn the clay valve in the upper left corner, or bring onlyBlue Pikmin with you. To collect this treasure, jump into thegeyser north of it, then throw 3 Pikmin at it.

Cavern for a King[edit]

File:Cavern for a King Sublevel 19 map.png

There is a Sunseed Berry lying inside of a half-broken pail in the northwestern corner of sublevel 19 of theCavern for a King, next to aJuicy Gaggle. To collect this treasure, you must throw 3 Pikmin at it.
