Editing Exploration Kit

[[File:Exploration Kit menu.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The completed Exploration Kit. Unobtained items would be gray]]
The '''Exploration Kit''' is an assortment of twelve devices in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that aid the player by giving [[Olimar]] and [[captain|his companion]] new abilities, such as [[Repugnant Appendage|running faster]] and [[Stellar Orb|lighting up]] the surroundings in caves. They are all obtained as treasures, namely all of the [[Explorer's Friend Series]] except [[The Key]], and are made useful by the [[ship]].

Most of the treasures that unlock the items in the kit are held by the [[:category:bosses|bosses]] of each [[cave]] from the first three of the game's [[areas]], with the exceptions being the [[Brute Knuckles]], which is held by a [[Mamuta]] in the [[Frontier Cavern]], the [[Spherical Atlas]], which is in [[Emergence Cave|a cave with no boss]], and the [[Geographic Projection]], which is located above ground in the [[Awakening Wood]]. The [[Frontier Cavern]] therefore has two upgrading treasures, while the [[Wistful Wild#Caves|three caves]] in the [[Wistful Wild]] do not contain any.
