The Permanent Container (パーマネントコンテナ^?, lit.: "Permanent Container") is a treasure found only in the European and Japanese versions of Pikmin 2. It is actually a white and orange ICC sealed tin with Japanese writing on top, located on sublevel 5 of the Shower Room. This item will either be in plain view, protected by the cave's Withering Blowhogs, Dwarf Orange Bulborbs, Fiery Blowhogs, and Lesser Spotted Jellyfloats; or in the water up high. If the latter is its position, find the mound of sand in one of the larger rooms and go up with Blue Pikmin, throwing them over to the right as the leader reaches the top.

Notes

Olimar's journal

 GameCube

“When I see a closed container, I cannot help myself,  ^[sic]I feel like I must open it and see what's inside. But when opening it, it could lose it's^[sic] value. I guess I'll just have to use my imagination.”

Sales pitch

“The contents of the container spin at the speed of light. That means, the progress of time is almost zero and the "Best Before" date is extended to the generation of your grandchildren.”
