The Temporal Mechanism is a grayish-looking pocket watch labeled with Roman Numerals. It bears the Nintendo logo on its face. It is found in the Valley of Repose in Pikmin 2, held by a Fiery Bulblax, and the Sun-Speckled Terrace in Pikmin 4, hanging on a nail in a fence. In the Valley of Repose, it is located at the far side of the field near a body of water inhabited by Water Dumples. The best way to defeat the Bulblax is to lure it into the water and attack it with Blue Pikmin after petrifying it. Another helpful tip is that it is wise to go after this treasure near the start of the day. If the Bulblax is killed but the treasure does not get back to the ship before day's end, it will be inside another Bulblax the next day (unlike other aboveground treasures that are not held by enemies; those will remain where they were overnight if not collected). In the Sun-Speckled Terrace, just knock it off of the wall with Oatchi's Rush, and carry it back to the S.S. Beagle.

Olimar's Notes[]
"While exploring this warped land, I got the feeling that time passed faster than usual. Upon researching it further, I realized it was just my mind playing tricks on me. But whenever I touch this object I can feel the space-time continuum bending!"
Sales Pitch[]
"Believe! Believe in the future, in dreams, in unknown wonders, like this broken time machine part. This does not work, so there is no way to confirm its abilities, but surely your heart believes."
Schnauz's Notes[]
"This piece of technology doesn't work, so there's no way to confirm it... but I believe in my heart of hearts that it is part of a time machine. A foolish belief, maybe. But I have faith that the future holds many great things, and this is simply a sign of what's to come."
