The label on this object says that the Doomsday Apparatus weighs 1 kilogram. This discovery has lead 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 Doomsday Apparatus (超重ギガンティス?, lit.: "Super-heavy Gigantis") is the heaviest and most valuable treasure in Pikmin 2. It is a heavily rusted 1-kilogram 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 following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

While carrying the treasure, it is advised to attack and defeat the Gatling Groink, Dwarf Bulborbs 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, which has three Violet Candypop Buds and two Queen Candypop Buds on sublevel 8, along with many eggs 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[edit]

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.

Notes

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.
