The Courage Reactor is actually a D Duracell battery. 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 ship is satisfied with the day's work and the first day is completed. 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 Pikmin, have them dig it out of the ground and carry it to the ship.

In the Japanese version of Pikmin 2, this is a "National Hi-Top" battery, a Japanese brand of battery.

Notes

Olimar's journal

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?

Sales pitch

Physical energy is not the only kind! The energy dearest to us is that made by love and courage.
