The Empty space container (Empty Space Container in New Play Control! Pikmin 2) (亜空間コンテナ^?, lit.: "Subspace Container") is a treasure found in the Japanese and European versions of Pikmin 2, where it is actually an open shellfish tin of potential Japanese origin. It is found on sublevel 8 of the Cavern of Chaos, where there are a lot of Dwarf Red Bulborbs and a couple of Gatling Groinks. It is the only treasure on the sublevel.

Oddly, in the GameCube version, its name is not in title case, like all other treasures. This was changed in the New Play Control! remake.

Notes

Olimar's journal

 GameCube

“When all these containers pile up in my ship, I start to wonder... would I be better off working as a treasure hunter or stay in the transportation business as always?”

 Wii

“When all these containers pile up in my ship, I start to wonder... would I be better off working as a treasure hunter, or stay in the transportation business as always?”

Sales pitch

“The interior of this container ignores the physical laws of size and became indefinite space. All objects placed in it become indefinitely big and indefinitely small.”
