The Disguised Delicacy (ミカケダマシ, "Deceiving Appearance") is a recurring item in the Pikmin series. It first appears in Pikmin 2, as a treasure within the Succulent Series. Disguised Delicacies then appear in Pikmin 3 as collectible fruits. In Pikmin 4, a few Disguised Delicacies appear as treasures, now as part of the Autumn Harvest Series. Disguised Delicacies are actually kiwifruits. There is a similar fruit, the Blonde Imposter, which is a golden kiwi.
Appearances[]
Pikmin 2[]
In Pikmin 2, the Disguised Delicacy can be found on the first floor of the Dream Den in the Wistful Wild, with multiple Dwarf Orange Bulborbs, Lesser Spotted Jellyfloats, a couple of Hermit Crawmads, and poison emitters between this treasure and the ship making it a challenging salvage.
Pikmin 3[]
A total of four halves of the Disguised Delicacy appear in Pikmin 3, although in pairs. One pair is found in the Distant Tundra, suspended in a crystal, and the other is in the Tropical Wilds, where it is dropped by the Shaggy Long Legs.
Pikmin 4[]
In Pikmin 4, there are three Disguised Delicacies to collect. In Secluded Courtyard, a Disguised Delicacy appears in sublevel 2, but an Anode Dweevil drops from above when approaching the treasure. In Subzero Sauna, a Disguised Delicacy appears inside of a Hydro Jelly at the northeastern corner of sublevel 1. In Plunder Palace, a Disguised Delicacy is located on a high table in sublevel 5 with the Sweet Torrent, but like the Disguised Delicacy of Secluded Courtyard, an enemy appears while approaching it, in this case a Puffy Blowhog.
Notes[]
Olimar's Journal[]
"The fruit on this planet is astonishingly large. If we could cultivate these ample fruits on Hocotate, nobody would ever go hungry again! Sadly, I don't know anything about agriculture. Maybe I should have listened to my wife when she told me to do yard work..."
Sales Pitch[]
"Fruits cannot be judged by their outer coverings, no matter how hairy. This one is quite yummy. It is times like these that make me wish I were equipped with advanced taste capabilities."
Brittany's Notes[]
- NTSC "Ha! This Fuzzy produce thought it could disguise itself as one of the native creatures, but I'd know the smell of Piktamin U anywhere! Take that, fruit!"
- PAL "Ha! This fuzzy specimen thought it could disguise itself as one of the native creatures, but I'd know the smell of Piktamin U anywhere! You can't fool the senses of a hungry Koppaite!"
Schnauz's Notes[]
"It's a miracle anyone tried to eat this unpleasant-looking fruit the very first time. You'd think its hairy exterior would have scared them off. Yet eat it they did! And we should all be grateful, for what a tasty treat it is! Further proof that luck favors the bold."

Louie's Notes[]
"The black seeds are a delight and have a satisfyingly grainy mouthfeel. But I don't recommend eating the fuzzy exterior."
