A Nugget appeared in Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?, where a man was seen polishing it, only to have it stolen by an item-snatching nicknamed "Greedy Rapooh".

Trivia

 * The Japanese name for Nugget, きんのたま kin no tama, literally means "golden ball", which is also a slang term for testicles. In, the man on offering his "golden ball" to the player is a frequent joke among Japanese fans. The phrase was localized as "nugget of wisdom".
