Repugnant Appendage: Difference between revisions

 

The '''Repugnant Appendage''' is a treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''; it is actually a dirty pink [[Wikipedia:Shoe|shoe]] with a velcro strap and a teddy bear insignia on it. From the design and proportion, it is likely a baby's shoe. It is found on the last [[sublevel]] (8) of [[Frontier Cavern]] and is in the possession of an [[Empress Bulblax]] that constantly gives birth to offspring known as [[Bulborb Larva]]e. When retrieved, the Rush Boots component of the [[Exploration Kit]] is unlocked.

The '''Rush Boots''' is a modification to the [[captain]]s' footwear by [[the ship]] that allows them to run more quickly, at the same speed as flowered [[White Pikmin]]. The Rush Boots also renders the blowing attack of [[Puffy Blowhog|Puffy]] and [[Withering Blowhog]]s ineffective against captains. The ship explains both functions as the result of lowered air resistance. It can provide to be a minor hindrance however, as the Pikmin's speed is not increased alongside the leader's, so they fall behind, are harder to control and often get stuck when going around corners.
