+This item 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 [[ship]]. 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.

-''"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."''
+==Weight==
-===Sales Pitch===
+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.
-''"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==
-*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.
-*It can take any where between a quarter to half the day to carry this back depending on leaves, buds, and flowers.
-*It is the heaviest treasure in the game, not to mention the highest in [[Poko]] value.
