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 fourth 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 Bulborbs, 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 Buds.
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.
