The Utter Scrap (とことんスクラップ?, lit.: "Utter Scrap") is the second treasure found in Pikmin 2. It is actually a crushed soda can. Despite many Pikmin 2 treasures being items that can actually be found in the real world, the Utter Scrap appears to be entirely fictional. Judging from the "ONE" and the up arrow on its body, the odds are that it is an entirely imagined brand, with a logo that states "One-up", a common term in video games that indicates an extra life; the "brand" may simply be a reference to the video-game terminology. Other than the logo, "250ml" is also written on the can.
Collecting the treasure
This treasure is in the Valley of Repose and its location is blocked by a bag which requires 35 Pikmin to deflate. In the area behind the bag, there is a Dwarf Red Bulborb and a sleeping Red Bulborb with the Utter Scrap in the far corner.
Notes
Olimar's journal
- GameCube
“The area we recently touched down in is blanketed with a fresh layer of frozen precipitation. As tranquil and relaxing as it is, I named it the Valley of Repose. Using Pikmin to move obstacles, I was able to open up some new areas to exploration, where I found this hunk of metal.”

Sales pitch
“Throw this flimsy piece of scrap metal out! ...Or can garbage this banal become a work of art?”
