The Repugnant Appendage is a treasure in Pikmin 2; it is actually a dirty pink shoe with a velcro strap and a teddy bear on it; likely a baby shoe judging from design and proportion. It is found on the final sublevel of Frontier Cavern and is in the possession of an Empress Bulblax that constantly gives birth to offspring known as Bulborb Larvae. When retrieved, the Rush Boots component of the Exploration Kit is unlocked.
Rush Boots
The Rush Boots are a modification to the captains' footwear by The Ship that allows them to run faster, at the same speed as flowered White Pikmin. They work by reducing air resistance and so allowing the captains to have greater speed. The Rush Boots also renders the blowing attack of Puffy and Withering Blowhogs ineffective against captains. They can however be a hinderance, as the pikmin's speed is not increased so they fall behind, are harder to control and often get stuck where going round corners.
Notes
Olimar's Journal
"This aromatic object secretes a tangy odor that could knock out a bulblax! I'm with the ship on this one... I don't want to touch it, either! But I must! For the sake of the company and my family... I must summon the strength to carry on!"
Sales Pitch
"Is this the remains of some giant creature? Its color is striking, but its stench is horrific. Could it be dangerous? The true essence of things in the natural world is very often disguised. Be fooled and die...fool or be killed. This is a law of survival."
The Ship's Diologue
Found
"Ervvt! Olfactory sensors overloading! Approaching outer stink limits!"
"The stench must be emanating from that object..."
Collected
"This object has pockets of air under its surface. It is perfect for the boots I'm making."
"Processing...complete. Nano-assemblage of the Rush Boots is concluded!"
"These nullify wind resistance by circulating air beneath the soles."
"You'll move faster and you'll no longer be blown away by puffy blowhogs' nasal blasts!"
