Treasure (Pikmin franchise)

Treasures are collectible items in the Pikmin franchise, debuting in Pikmin 2.
==Description==
The purpose of treasures is different in every game, but a consistency is that all of them have some form of value that plays a role towards the game's objective. In Pikmin 2, treasures are valued in Pokos, and they pay off the debt of the Hocotate Transportation Company. In Hey! Pikmin and Pikmin 4, treasures are valued in Sparklium, the power source of the S.S. Dolphin II in Hey! Pikmin and the S.S. Shepherd in Pikmin 4.
A few Mario-themed treasures appear in the Pikmin games. Pikmin 2 has Decorative Goo, a tube of acrylic paint branded "Mario Paints", and Flame of Tomorrow, a box of cigarettes of the fictional "Bowser Breath Brand." Neither of the two treasures have Mario branding in original Japanese releases. Regardless, they are stored in the Treasure Hoard after being collected. Hey! Pikmin has several treasures of amiibo figures from other Nintendo franchises, predominantly Mario, that appear in a Secret Spot when the actual figure is scanned in real life: One example is the Colossus in Suspenders, which is a Mario amiibo figure that appears by scanning one in real life. In his log, Olimar even comments on the treasures themselves.
