+'''The Key''' ({{j|あのカギ|Ano Kagi|The Key}}) is a treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', whose name is the only one among the treasures that describes itself exactly. It is a large, golden {{w|key}}. The Key is found inside the body of a [[Beady Long Legs]] on the last sublevel (5) of the [[Citadel of Spiders]]. Besides increasing the [[Poko]] total, The Key unlocks [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], which can be found in the [[Menu#Title screen|main menu]] after the treasure has been collected. It is the only part of the [[Explorer's Friend Series]] that is not found in the [[Exploration Kit]].
+In ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], this treasure is found on every sublevel of every one of the 30 levels. It is required to make the entrance to the next sublevel – or a [[geyser]] – appear, and is worth 100 Pokos.

-'''The Key''' is a treasure in [[Pikmin 2]], whose name is the only one among the treasures that describes itself exactly. The Key is found inside the body of a [[Beady Long Legs]] on the last sublevel (5) of the [[Citadel of Spiders]]. Apart from increasing your [[Poko]] total, The Key also unlocks [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], which can be found in the Main Menu after the treasure has been collected.
 == Trivia ==
-In all of the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] levels, you'll need to find The Key to advance to the next level or leave; its location can be anywhere, such as inside creatures, even bosses.
+*The Key bears a [[Reference|striking resemblance]] to the [[mariowiki:Key|keys]] in ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', which are guarded by [[mariowiki:Phanto|Phanto]] masks, or the keys in ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]]'', which open [[mariowiki:Keyhole|keyholes]] leading to secret stages.
+*Perhaps [[Mistake|erroneously]], Olimar calls the [[Beady Long Legs]] a "Pikmin-''devouring'' spider", even though the creature does not eat Pikmin.
+*Two [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused upgrades]] in ''Pikmin 3'' feature The Key on a pedestal.
-The Key bears a striking resemblance to the keys in Super Mario World that lead to Secret Exits.
