Captain Olimar's Journal

 * NTSC version:"What a perplexing plant... It appears to be carrying two different types of berries! They must be a rare species of fruit. Both have odd traits. One seems to be a suppressant, while the other is a stimulant. It's not easy to tell which is which. I'd better be careful with them. I should also warn Louie, or else he may try to bake these berries in a pie."


 * PAL version:"What a perplexing fruit... It appears to possess two curiously conflicting traits. At times, consuming it can bring forth wonderful feelings of love and affection. At other times, it can completely suppress all romantic inclinations. Its unpredictable nature means that I must be careful with it. I'll also warn Louie, or else he's liable to try baking it in a pie."

Sales Pitch
"Fate's tapestry has unraveled. Tomorrow weeps. Romance has fallen, love is madness. ...To amend the rift between two cross lovers, this is the ultimate weapon in Cupid's arsenal."

Story Mode
In Pikmin 3, there are three of the fruits, two of which are found at the Distant Tundra, and one at the Tropical Wilds.

Bingo Battle Mode
Similar to 2-Player Battle mode in Pikmin 2, the Cupid's Grenade is here to be used to spin a roulette in Bingo Battle mode. Each player can hold a total of 5 cherries at one time.
