The Repugnant Appendage is a treasure in Pikmin 2; it is actually a dirty pink shoe with a velcro strap and a teddy bear insignia on it. From the design and proportion, it is likely a baby's shoe, or if not, a doll's shoe. It is found on the last sublevel (8) 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 is a modification to the captains' footwear by the ship that allows them to run more quickly, at the same speed as flowered White Pikmin. The Rush Boots also renders the blowing attack of Puffy and Withering Blowhogs ineffective against captains. The ship explains both functions as the result of lowered air resistance. It can provide to be a minor hindrance however, as the Pikmin's speed is not increased alongside the leader's, so they fall behind, are harder to control and often get stuck when going around corners.
Notes
Ship's dialogs
“Ervvt! Olfactory sensors overloading! Approaching outer stink limits!
The stench must be emanating from that object...
This object has pockets of air under its surface. It is perfect for the boots I am 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!”Olimar's journal
