The Arboreal Frippery is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. In the PAL version, the Arboreal Frippery is actually a red leaf from a Japanese maple tree. In the NTSC version of the game, it bears resemblance to a leaf from a Marijuana plant. However, one can easily argue that it could be a green leaf from a Japanese maple tree. It is suggested that it is a Marijuana leaf in the Japanese version, but Nintendo of America removed this in American version, most likely to avoid any problems. It is found in the 4th sublevel of the Shower Room. It is the 19th treasure on the List of Pikmin 2 treasures.

Notes[]

Captain Olimar's Journal[]

"The ship seems to think this leaf would be a smash hit among naturalist interior designers. I just think it looks and feels like a soft blanket. In the interest of scientific discovery, I'd better give it a test run..."

Sales Pitch[]

"Perfect for those who love natural designs in their home, this leaf applique is a bargain! Use it in pieces, or cover an entire wall in leafiness!"

Trivia[]

  • It is tied with the Leviathan Feather, the King of Bugs, and the Compelling Cookie for the least valuable treasure.
  • In the Japanese version, Olimar's journal entry and the sales pitch describe this treasure as the "ultimate drug", and Olimar even states that he might even want to use it some day. The Ship warns users not to overdose, as it may cause death.
