When playing throughPikmin 4, I generally didn’t want to stop. The joy of treasure hunting, discovering new areas, and taking breaks to hang out at the home base (or go on Castle Defense-esque night missions) was too enticing: and now its existence has spawned a real-life treasure hunter.
A self-described “clay artist with a love of Pikmin,”Twitter user ZatchMehris trying to eventually locate and acquire every in-gamePikmin 4treasurein real life.They’ve noted that they started their quest roughly three days after the game came out, and it’s taken them about a month to get this far.
If you’re curious, they’ve even been chronicling their journey with tweets of individual collections, in a near 1:1 recreation of the in-game collection screenshots:
As a reminderPikmin 4has 239 treasures (that are uniquely designed): so there’s still a ways to go.

How many treasures do you have?
In terms of the electronic stuff, I own that exact Wavebird, the small Game and Watch portable, the GameCubeWave Racedisc, the SNES mouse, the red/blue Switch Joy-Con set, and that blue GBA SP. It was a blast going throughPikmin 4and pointing at the screen like that Leo meme: the idea of collecting Earthly “treasures” during your adventure is genius.
The attention to detail is impressive, as some of these items are exact replicas, and many come as close as humanly possible without resorting to making aPikmin-specific Etsy store. As for the food items, ZatchMehr explains that “fake fruit comes in clutch,” so don’t worry about it spoiling!
