+The '''Doomsday Apparatus''' ({{j|超重ギガンティス|Chōjyu Gigantisu|Super-heavy Gigantis}}) is the heaviest and most valuable treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is a heavily rusted 1-kilogram {{w|dumbbell}}, and is found in the [[Wistful Wild]], not too far from the landing site. Due to its weight, 100 [[Purple Pikmin]] are needed to be able to pick up this item; and even then, it takes at least a quarter of a day to carry back to the [[Hocotate ship]].

-The best place to amass purples to reach 100 for the Doomsday Apparatus is the [[Subterranean Complex]], as it has three Violet and two Queen Candypop Bud on sublevel 8, along with many [[egg]]s and a geyser. Another good place is [[Bulblax Kingdom]], which also has 3 Violet Candypop buds and one Ivory. Another good place is the Hole of Beasts which has 3 candypop buds, and is easy to get to
+While carrying the treasure, it is advised to attack and defeat the [[Gatling Groink]], [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]] &ndash; and if possible, [[Yellow Wollywog]] and [[Fiery Blowhog]] &ndash; in the area, so as to clear the way in advance for exploring the rest of the level.

-''"Perplexing mysteries are often solved in unexpected ways. When I was studying this item earlier today, I was astounded at its unbelievable bulk. It was so heavy! I would have never been able to move it without my burly purple Pikmin. Later analysis indicated this thing is in fact some kind of heavy artillery."''
+==Weight==
-===Sales Pitch===
+The label on this object says that the Doomsday Apparatus weighs 1 kilogram. This discovery has led 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, 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.
-''"An apocalyptic weapon made of super-heavy, gravity-compressed materials of unknown origin. The fact that its great weight makes it uncontrollable is, at times, a mild detriment."''

 ==Trivia==
-*Since this is a one kilo weight and requires 1,000 Pikmin to carry, it is reasonable to assume that a Pikmin's normal carrying capacity is one gram, or ten grams for purple Pikmin. This is the only indication of the real-world power of Pikmin.
+*The Doomsday Apparatus is very similar to the [[Golden Vaulting Table]], a treasure from {{p4}}. They both:
+**Weigh 1,000 units, requiring 100 Purple Pikmin to lift.
-*It can take any where between a quarter to half the day to carry this back depending on leaves, buds, and flowers.
+**Are noted to weigh 1 kilogram.
-*It is the heaviest treasure in the game, not to mention the highest in [[Poko]] value.
+**Are the most valuable treasures in their respective games.
