| 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]].

| | 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.

| While carrying the treasure, it is advised to attack and defeat the [[Gatling Groink]], [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]] – and if possible, [[Yellow Wollywog]] and [[Fiery Blowhog]] – 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]], 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. |

| | ==Notes== |
|
| |
| 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== | | ===Olimar's Journal=== |
| 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.
| | ''"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=== |
| {{Notes|journal=y|sale=y}}
| | ''"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== |
| ==Gallery== | | *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. |
