The Alien Billboard (古代の広告?, lit.: "Ancient Advertisement") is a treasure found in the game Pikmin 2 and is actually the lid of a Kiwi brand shoe polish container. In the North American and Japanese versions of the game, it is found on the first sublevel of the White Flower Garden. There are a few pests such as Sheargrubs that may be a problem if they're not taken care of.
On it, it reads:
KIWI ®
SINCE 1906
SHOE POLISH
"Shines, Nourishes, & Protects"
CORDOVAN
NET WT. 1 ⅛ OZ. (31 g)
"Cordovan" is also labeled across the outer edge of the container's lid.
On the European version of the game, this treasure is inside one of the Orange Bulborbs in sublevel 13 of the Dream Den.
In the Switch port, the treasure is an unbranded shoe polish container. The text on it reads:
