The '''Doomsday Apparatus''' ({{j|超重ギガンティス|Chōjyu Gigantisu|Super-heavy Gigantis}}) is the heaviest and most valuable treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is a heavily rusted 1-kilogram {{w|dumbbell}}, and is found in the [[Wistful Wild]], not too far from the landing site. Due to its weight, 100 [[Purple Pikmin]] are needed to be able to pick up this item; and even then, it takes at least a quarter of a day to carry back to the [[Hocotate ship]].


==Collecting the treasure==
The '''Doomsday Apparatus''' is the heaviest and most valuable treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is a blue, heavily rusted 1 kilogram [[wikipedia:Training Weight|training weight]]. It is found in the Wistful Wild, not too far from the landing site. Due to its weight, 100 [[Purple Pikmin]] are needed to be able to pick up this item; and even then, it takes at least a quarter of a day to carry back to the [[ship]].

While carrying the treasure, it is advised to attack and defeat the [[Gatling Groink]], [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]] &ndash; and if possible, [[Yellow Wollywog]] and [[Fiery Blowhog]] &ndash; in the area, so as to clear the way in advance for exploring the rest of the level.
 
The best place to amass Purples to reach 100 for the Doomsday Apparatus is the [[Subterranean Complex]], which has three [[Violet Candypop Buds]] and two [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s on sublevel 8, along with many [[egg]]s that can be obtained throughout the cave.
The [[Bulblax Kingdom]] is also ideal as a safer option, due to its close proximity to the landing site. It has three Violet Candypop Buds: two on sublevel 4 and one on sublevel 6.

==Weight==
The label on this object says that the Doomsday Apparatus weighs 1 kilogram. This discovery has led to a lot of confusion. Although creating a formula from this would allow easy conversion between the in-game weight units and real-world units, the theory breaks down when real-world objects are weighed and compared to the weights predicted. For example, the [[Proton AA]] treasure weighs 6 units, whereas actual AA batteries weigh as much as 25 grams.

The best place to amass purples to reach 100 for the Doomsday Apparatus is the [[Subterranean Complex]], as it has three [[Violet Candypop Bud|Violet]] and two [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s on sublevel 8, along with many [[egg]]s and a [[geyser]]. Another good place is [[Bulblax Kingdom]], which also has 3 Violet Candypop buds and one Ivory.

===Olimar's Journal===
''"Perplexing mysteries are often solved in unexpected ways. When I was studying this item earlier today, I was astounded at its unbelievable bulk. It was so heavy! I would have never been able to move it without my burly purple Pikmin. Later analysis indicated this thing is in fact some kind of heavy artillery."''
===Sales Pitch===
''"An apocalyptic weapon made of super-heavy, gravity-compressed materials of unknown origin. The fact that its great weight makes it uncontrollable is, at times, a mild detriment."''
==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Doomsday Apparatus is very similar to the [[Golden Vaulting Table]], a treasure from {{p4}}. They both:
*Since this is a one kilo weight and requires 1,000 Pikmin to carry, it is reasonable to assume that a Pikmin's normal carrying capacity is one gram, or ten grams for purple Pikmin. This is the only indication of the real-world power of Pikmin.
**Weigh 1,000 units, requiring 100 Purple Pikmin to lift.
**Are noted to weigh 1 kilogram.
**Are the most valuable treasures in their respective games.
**Are found on the surface of the final area in their respective games.
