Collect Treasure! Tips and Tricks

Efficiently Use the Go Here Feature

During Collect Treasure! missions, the most important tool is effectively using the Go Here function. Missions will usually have 2 to 3 leaders progressing together. In order to not have one leader doing nothing, make use of the Go Here function to save time.

Divide Work and Effectively Recover Items

In order to obtain a platinum medal when gathering treasure, you must divide your work to effeciently recover fruits or enemies. Divide your work so that one team destroys a wall while another defeats an enemy and aim or a platinum medal!

Prioritize Recoveries from Far Places First

If fruits or enemies located far away are recovered first, it will be easy to save time. Things that are close to the starting point can be recovered at any time, so Pikmin on standby near the starting area can recover them. When working, recover items starting from the furthest ones first.

Gathering Nuggets in the Begining or Middle Stage Makes the Remaining Level Easier

When retrieving items in Collect Treasure! mode, the most dangerous items are Nuggets. Nuggets must be taken back one at a time to the starting site and will take up significant time no matter what. In some cases, there can be as many as 100 or 77 Nuggets, so confirm your Pikmin numbers and decide the transportation priority of them.

Use the Bomb Rocks on Enemies, Not Walls

During Collect Treasure! mode, Pikmin numbers cannot be increased using the Onion. Becuase you only have a set amount, use Bomb Rocks on dangerous enemies instead of walls.
