The '''Doomsday Apparatus''' is the heaviest and most valuable treasure in Pikmin 2. It is a large, blue, and heavily rusted training weight. It is found in the Wistful Wild, not too far from the landing site. You must go through the grueling task of getting 100 [[Purple Pikmin]] to be able to pick up this unfathomably heavy item, and even then, it takes at least a quarter of a day to carry back to the ship. While carrying the treasure, it is advised that the player attack and defeat the [[Gatling Groink]], [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, and the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]], so as to clear the way in advance for exploring the rest of the level.

The best place to get 100 purples for the Doomsday Apparatus is the [[Subterranean Complex]], as it has 3 [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s.

The label on this object says that the Doomsday Apparatus weighs 1 kilogram. This discovery has lead to a lot of confusion. Although creating a formula from this would allow easy conversion between the in-game weight units and real-world units (grams in particular), the theory breaks down when real-world objects are weighed and compared to the weights predicted. For example, the [[Proton AA]] treasure weighs 6 units, whereas actual AA batteries weigh as much as 25 grams.
