Nintendo is celebrating its popular Pikmin video game characters with a web-based AR experience called Pikmin Finder, which allows people to befriend different colors of Pikmin and collect virtual treasures in augmented reality.

The Pikmin Finder experience can be activated by scanning a QR code with a mobile device. The AR “game” allows people to pluck the friendly creatures from the ground in augmented reality and send them on treasure hunts.

These treasure hunts last only a few seconds, with the Pikmin bringing back items such as a rubber duck, a strawberry or a waffle. 

Twenty different items are available to collect.
