The Courage Reactor (あいとゆうきリアクター?, lit.: "Love and Courage Reactor") is a battery treasure found in Pikmin 2. In the Switch version it is a fictional "Electric Super Battery", a Duracell D battery in the North American and European GameCube and Wii versions and a National Hi-Top D battery in the Japanese GameCube and Wii versions. It is the first treasure that can be collected in Pikmin 2, and is found partially buried in the Valley of Repose. Upon retrieval, the Hocotate ship is satisfied with the day's work and the first day is completed. While Louie discovers this treasure first, he needs to reunite with Olimar and his Pikmin before it can be lifted and salvaged.

The text on the side contains a paragraph informing the user that the battery cannot be recharged, and that the polarity of the battery should be respected. These instructions are written in Italian, French, German and English, in that order. The full text reads:

Inserire correttamente. Non ricaricare.
Respecter les polarités + et -. Ne pas
recharger. Auf richtige Polarität achten.
Nicht wiederaufladbar. Connect correctly.
Do not recharge. MADE IN EC
DURACELL®
D
ALKALINE 1,5V

Strangely, in the US New Play Control! Pikmin 2 website, the Courage Reactor is shown as a National Hi-Top battery instead of a Duracell battery.[2]

Collecting the treasure

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

To retrieve this treasure, both Olimar and Louie are needed: start by gathering all the pellets in the area and the Dwarf Red Bulborb. After obtaining 20 Red Pikmin, have them dig it out of the ground and carry it to the ship.

Sales pitch

Olimar's journal (Nintendo Switch)

“We've recovered our first treasure! Amazingly, the Pikmin remembered how to salvage it. I can't understand their adorable language and I don't know what they're thinking, yet I'm so happy to see them. When I crashed on this planet, the Pikmin helped me locate my missing ship parts. In my darkest hour, the Pikmin were there for me. Now that I'm reunited with them, I know everything will be alright. It will, right?”
