The '''Cosmic Archive''' ({{j|コズミック・アーカイブ|Kozumikku Ākaibu|Cosmic Archive}}) is a treasure found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is actually a Famicom Disk System disk of the game ''{{w|The Mysterious Murasame Castle}}''. This treasure is found on sublevel 3 of the [[Hole of Beasts]], and it is best to take out the [[fire geysers]] prior to retrieving it; alternately, [[Red Pikmin]] can be issued to [[carry]] it.

The writing on it is as follows:

Which means "Family Computer Disk System", "The Mysterious Murasame Castle". The writing on the top is present for all Family Computer Disk System games.

=== Olimar's journal (Japanese) ===
* '''Text''': {{transcript|今日探険した洞窟は、炎の噴き出る穴があちこちにあり、洞窟全体が熱かった。{{color|炎といえば、赤ピクミンだ！|red}}……しまった！ルーイくんに教えるのをすっかり忘れていた。彼は無口だから、どうも話しにくくて……。今日手に入れたこの物体は、記録装置のようだが、内容の解析は無理だった。ディスクの内容で{{color|遊ぶことはできない。|red}}}}
* '''Translation''': {{transcript|The cave we explored today had holes here and there with flames spewing out of them, and the whole cave was hot. {{color|And when I think of flames, I think of Red Pikmin!|red}} ...Oh no! I completely forgot to teach Louie about that. He is so quiet that it's really hard to talk to him... This object we retrieved today seems to be a recording device, but it was impossible to analyze its contents. {{color|It is not possible to play|red}} with the contents of the disk.}}

=== Sales pitch (Japanese) ===
* '''Text''': {{transcript|この世の始まりから終わりまで、すべての事象が記録されているという、伝説の記録庫！！大容量すぎて、解読は不可能！でも、だから広がるロマンもあるはず！}}
* '''Translation''': {{transcript|A legendary archive of all events from the beginning to the end of this world!! It is so large that it is impossible to decipher! But that's why it is so romantic!}}

==Trivia==
*Interestingly, this treasure is not the only connection between ''Pikmin'' and ''Mysterious Murasame Castle''. In ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: D.I.Y.|WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', [[mariowiki:Murasamejō|a microgame]] based on ''Mysterious Murasame Castle'' is present in the Japanese [[Region|version]], but has been replaced with a ''[[mariowiki:Pikmin (microgame)|Pikmin]]'' microgame in the localized versions.
**To a lesser degree, the ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]'' combine elements from several universes, including ''Pikmin'' and ''Mysterious Murasame Castle''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'', it is possible to, for instance, have [[Captain Olimar]] summon Takamaru as an [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]].
