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]].

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.

{{todo|What about empty AA batteries?}}
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.
