In Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode, this treasure is found on every sublevel of every one of the 30 levels. It is required to make the entrance to the next sublevel – or a geyser – appear, and is worth 100 Pokos.

...Analyzing soil samples.
... ... ... ...Anomaly detected.

ALERT!!! Sensors indicates a massive dimensional shift at a distant location.
I'm receiving a message from a far-flung dimension. Displaying the message now ...
"Challenge mode can now be accessed from the title screen."
It appears to be total gibberish. Hopefully the message has reached its intended recipient.
I will name this apparently worthless device the Key.”Olimar's journal
