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 is 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 the treasure first, he needs to reunite with Olimar and his Pikmin before it can be lifted and salvaged.

In the North American and European GameCube and Wii versions 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

Nicht wiederaufladbar. Connect correctly.
Do not recharge. MADE IN EC
DURACELL®

ALKALINE 1,5V

Strangely, in the US New Play Control! Pikmin 2 website, the Courage Reactor uses artwork of the Japanese version of the treasure instead of the North American version.[2]

Collecting the treasure

The location of the Courage Reactor in the Valley of Repose.


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

To retrieve the 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.

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.”

“どうにか最初のお宝を回収できた！ ピクミンは私のことをしっかり覚えていてくれた。彼らとは言葉も通じない、考えていることもよくわからないが、むしょうにうれしい。前回、この星に遭難して、ピクミンといっしょにバラバラになった宇宙船のパーツを探したことが思い出される。絶望的と思われたあの時も、ピクミンと共に乗り越えた。今度もきっと大丈夫だ。”
Translation
“We've just somehow collected our first piece of treasure! The Pikmin seem to have vividly remembered me. I don't speak their language, and I don't even know what they're thinking, but I am unmeasurably happy. I am reminded of the time I last shipwrecked onto this planet, when the Pikmin and I searched for the scattered parts of the spaceship. That time, which I thought was hopeless or desolate, the Pikmin and I overcame it. This time as well, it will be okay.”
Sales pitch
“物理的な力だけが力じゃない！ あいとゆうきがいっぱいつまったぼくらの一番身近なエネルギー。”
Translation
“Physical energy isn't the only kind of energy! The closest kind of energy to us is the energy packed with love and courage!”

The Arboreal Frippery (イチコロダオレ?, lit.: "One-hit Death") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. It is actually a leaf from a Japanese maple tree, although it is easily confused with a marijuana leaf. It is tied with several treasures for the least amount of Pokos it's worth.

In the Japanese version, Olimar's journal entry states that the treasure has a strong sleep-inducing effect, and states that he might want to try it some day, as he has not been able to sleep well recently. The journal and the sales pitch also denote that the wrong amount of it can lead to "eternal sleep", with the ship calling it a "dangerous drug". These notes were slightly altered in the Switch port. Its name in the Japanese version means "One-hit Death".

The leaf is red in the European version, as well as the Switch port, presumably to drive away the comparison to marijuana. The texture in the European version is reused from an earlier set of treasures found in the game's disc.[1] In the Nintendo Switch version, the edges of the texture are blurred in a similar manner to the Sunseed Berry and Science Project's leaf textures.

Collecting the treasure

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

The Arboreal Frippery is found in Sublevel 4 of the Shower Room, which is a large, calm area with only harmless Unmarked Spectralids and two Queen Candypop Buds. The water is too shallow to drown Pikmin, so it can be crossed with any type of Pikmin. The treasure is in a pipe, so the Treasure Gauge can be used to find the correct pipe. Since it weighs only one unit, throwing a single Pikmin at it should easily transport the treasure back to the Ship's Pod in a hasty manner.

Notes

Olimar's journal
“The ship seems to think this leaf would be a smash hit among naturalist interior designers. I just think it looks and feels like a soft blanket. In the interest of scientific discovery, I'd better give it a test run...”
Sales pitch
“Perfect for those who love natural designs in their home, this leaf applique is a bargain! Use it in pieces, or cover an entire wall in leafiness!”
Olimar's journal
“昨日きのうもほとんど眠ねむれなかった……。自宅じたくのせんべい布団ぶとんがなつかしい。そういえば、この植物しょくぶつには強つよい導眠どうみん作用さようがあるらしい。量りょうをまちがえると永遠えいえんの眠ねむりに落おちることもあるようだが……。”
Translation
“I hardly slept at all yesterday... I miss my senbei-buton at home. Come to think of it, this plant is supposed to have a strong sleep inducing effect. It is said that if you use the wrong amount, you will fall into an eternal sleep...”
Sales pitch
“不眠ふみんに苦くるしむ現代人げんだいじんにぴったり。時ときには永遠えいえんの眠ねむりに落おちることも？決して触れてはならない最凶導眠剤デンジャラス・ドラッグ。”
Translation
“Perfect for the insomnia sufferers of today. Sometimes fall into eternal sleep? A most dangerous sleep inducerdangerous drug that should never be touched.”

Translation
“I hardly slept at all yesterday... I miss my senbei-buton at home. Come to think of it, this plant is supposed to have a strong sleep inducing effect. It is said that if you use the wrong amount, you will fall into an eternal sleep... I'll try using it for a while.”

The Pondering Emblem (さとりのエンブレム?, lit.: "Emblem of Enlightenment") is a treasure in Pikmin 2. In the Nintendo Switch version, the treasure is an unbranded soft drink bottle cap, and is found in sublevel 5 of the Shower Room. In the North American GameCube and Wii versions of the game, it is a Yoo-hoo chocolate beverage bottle cap, and is also found in sublevel 5 of the Shower Room. In the European GameCube and Wii versions, it is a Tizer bottle cap, and is found in sublevel 3 of the Submerged Castle.

Collecting the treasure

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

The Pondering Emblem can be found in one of the dark alcoves in sublevel 3 of the Shower Room. It may also be on one of the raised blocks near bodies of water. Watch out for the Fiery Blowhogs or Withering Blowhogs, along with other enemies in the area, because they may become an obstacle for a leader's Pikmin.

The Pondering Emblem can be found inside of the Withering Blowhog in sublevel 3 of the Submerged Castle. Watch out for any hazards or enemies that might be nearby.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“There are many things I've encountered on this planet that defy explanation. According to the ship's analysis, this object is extremely valuable. Maybe I'll buy it. I'm not so sure, though. I get the feeling that the ship is swindling me. Nah...the ship would never scam me. I'm the captain!”

Sales pitch

“One glance and you will sit for hours trying to decipher the ultimate purpose of this item. Therein lies its value. It is actually a guide to the world of deep thinking.”
