The Flame of Tomorrow (希望の火^?, lit.: "Fire of Hope") is a treasure in Pikmin 2 and is actually a container of "Bowser Breath" brand matches (referring to Bowser and his fire breath, Bowser being the main antagonist of Nintendo's Mario series), which roll around when the box is moved. In Japan, the brand is called "Sun Breath" instead. It is found on sublevel 4 of the Citadel of Spiders, occurring in one of a few specific places, such as in an alcove or a pipe. A few Hermit Crawmads and Water Dumples may get in the way, so make sure they've been defeated before retrieving the treasure. One side of this box states "TEL 555-TROOPAS". It is tied for the least valuable treasure in the game.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“From the beginning of time, my people have searched for a perfectly clean, endlessly renewable energy source. Unfortunately, we've never found anything close to it. Rubbing these two objects together seems to produce fire. Maybe this is the long-lost energy source we've always been searching for?”

Sales pitch

“Is this the flame of hope that spawned humanoid civilization? Hocotate needs new energy sources, and this could be a fine candidate. Will machines like me be powered by this someday?”

Trivia

• "TEL 555-TROOPAS" is equivalent to "555-8766727" and is not a real, existing phone number; the telephone number prefix "555" is intended only for directory assistance and for this reason, it has been used for fake phone numbers in media.
  • In Japan, the phone number is instead 090-1234-5678 and appears to be the phone number of the company for Sun Breath instead.
