There are some missables and one-time events in Pikmin 4. Read on to learn all the missable content and one-time events in the game.

Missable Content

Nothing is Truly Missable

Pikmin 4 encourages players to complete everything 100% by allowing revisits to all areas to pick up any missing treasures, castaways, and onions. There's also no day limit, so you can take your time doing so.

Easily Missable Treasures

Treasure	Value	Location/How to Get
Child of the Earth	50	Location: Sun-Speckled Terrace (Surface) How to Get: Command Oatchi to sniff out the treasure to find its exact spot then command him to dig up the potato.
Emperor Whistle	80	Location: Serene Shores (Surface) How to Get: Throw Yellow Pikmin to dig up the treasure and carry it back.
Foolish Fruit	80	Location: Serene Shores (Surface) How to Get: Dig it up using Pikmin or Oatchi.
Heroine's Tear	90	Location: Serene Shores (Surface) How to Get: Break the rock blocking the airstream then jump on it. You can dig up the treasure after getting to the higher ground.
Mooching Vase	80	Location: Blossoming Arcadia (Surface) How to Get: Dig it up using Pikmin or Oatchi.

It's still possible to overlook some well-hidden treasures and end up stuck with 99% progress. To avoid missing these treasures, command Oatchi to sniff out buried treasure and equip the Treasure Gauge.

One-Time Events

Surface Creatures Don't Respawn

Unlike caves, creatures defeated on the surface stay dead on future days if not collected. If they were transported back as nutrients for Pikmin, they don't respawn either. This can be useful so your Pikmin can move around undisturbed.

List of All Enemies

Can't Refund Pup Drive or Raw Materials

Whenever you train Oatchi or buy anything at the Lab, the Pup Drive and Raw Materials you use can't be refunded. This means you'll likely have to plan your skill upgrades or save up for more important gear.

Cannot Rewind Before Cave Sublevels

The rewind feature can ensure you'll still have Pikmin if things get hairy. However, you cannot rewind past sublevels in caves. This also applies to entering and exiting caves, so make sure you're satisfied with your Pikmin count before moving further!
