The Patience Tester (がまんのコンテナ?, lit.: "Patience Container") is a treasure in Pikmin 2 In the GmaeCube and New Play Control versions, it is actually a can of Sun Luck-brand water chestnuts, while in the Nintendo Switch version it is an unbranded can of pineapple slices.

It is found on sublevel 3 of the Citadel of Spiders, and is usually hidden in an alcove, sometimes behind a bramble gate. There are a few Anode Beetles and Swooping Snitchbugs, including one that spawns when the Pikmin tries to carry it, that may hinder them when recovering the treasure. In the European version, it is located in the Hole of Heroes on sublevel 9, inside the floor's Fiery Bulblax.

Exclusively in the US Wii version of the game, Olimar's journal entry on this treasure is a copy of the European-exclusive Permanent Container's GameCube journal entry, which is one of the European-exclusive treasures characterized with descriptions with written mistakes.

Notes

Olimar's journal

European version European version
“In man's heart, good and bad coexist. This conflict has made the mind of mankind into a complicated thing. It brought us war, but also culture and civilization. And here I stand worrying. Should I open the containers in front of me and try eating the contents, or should I stand firm?”
GameCube GameCube US version US version
“Just looking at this sealed container makes me want to open it up! But opening it will decrease its value on the alien antiquities market. Maybe I'll just use my imaginary can opener and pretend to open it instead.”
Wii Wii US version US version
“When I see a closed container, I cannot help myself,  [sic]I feel like I must open it and see what's inside. But when opening it, it could lose it's[sic] value. I guess I'll just have to use my imagination.”

Sales pitch

“This calls out to be opened, peeked inside, and tasted. This temptation-filled item is perfect for those who wish to test the strength of their resolve.”
