The Time Capsule (メモリアル・カプセル?, lit.: "Memorial Capsule") is a treasure in Pikmin 2 and is actually a golden locket with a Welsh Corgi. It is found on the fourth sublevel of the Citadel of Spiders and some enemies may need to be defeated once it is found.
The dog, named "Gon-chan", belongs to an unnamed graphic designer for Pikmin 2. In the Japanese version, the Time Capsule instead contains a picture of Wataru Yamaguchi's cat, "Chi-chan".[1]
