Captain Olimar's Journal
"I found this fascinating fruit while out exploring today. The skies cleared up, and I felt peaceful watching the pink flower petals flutter in the wind. During this perilous expedition, it seems strange to have such softhearted, romantic thoughts. If I told my wife about this, I'm sure I'd get laughed at...again."

Sales Pitch
"This fruit is born of bright sunlight and cheerful warmth. Come, all you gloomy naysayers! One bite and even sad sacks will become foolhardy optimists. Eat one today and change your life!"

Story Mode
There are a total of four in the Story Mode of Pikmin 3, all of which are located in either the Garden of Hope or the Distant Tundra. the Sunseed Berry is the first fruit that Captain Alph encounters on his exploration for fruits. the first one is located next to where Brittany is found, and the second is found on the other side of that area. The third Sunseed Berry is located inside one of the Pyroclasmic Slooches close to the landing site of the Distant Toundra.

Captain Brittany's Notes

 * NTSC version:"As a scientist and as a food eater, I'm excited about this new source of potential nutrition. I just wish it didn't look like it was covered in pimples. Luckily, the taste of it is like delicious and scrumptious had a baby. Let's gather as many of these as we can!"


 * PAL version:"I've never experienced anything like it. Scientifically speaking, the flavour straddles the boundary between scrumptious and delicious, and can only be described as 'scrumplicious'. On the down side, this fruit appears to have a nasty case of pimples."

Trivia

 * In the first beta video of Pikmin, there was a strawberry that Yellow Pikmin were seen returning to their Onion, and it is rumored that the Sunseed Berry is based on said strawberry.
