This article is about the red robot toy that provides fire invulnerability. For the blue toy that provides enhanced defense, see Justice Alloy.

The Forged Courage (情熱合金ド・コンジョー^?, lit.: "Passion Alloy Mr. Guts") is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. It is actually the top half of a red toy robot with guns for arms, similar to the Justice Alloy. It is found on the last sublevel (7) of the Bulblax Kingdom, inside the body of the Emperor Bulblax, the cave's boss. Collecting this item grants the ability of the Scorch Guard, part of the Exploration Kit. Like some other treasures, if the player defeats the Emperor Bulblax, but does not have enough Pikmin to carry the Forged Courage, which requires the strength of 20 Pikmin, it will change weight to match the player's army.

Notes

Ship's dialogs

“My initial report indicates that the giant bulblax spat out some sort of object.

It looks fascinating, but it's drenched in that creature's internal juices. Disgusting!

... ... ... ... Oh, don't roll your eyes at me. I'll store it for you...

This material has perplexing properties. I will try fusing it with this spare space suit.

Processing...complete. Success! Behold my latest invention, the Scorch Guard!

Thanks to the heat-resistant alloy, this suit is now impervious to fire!”

Olimar's journal

“I found this marvelous alloy in a hole swarming with bulborbs! On that adventure, I even clashed with an Emperor Bulblax! In honor of my triumph over that appallingly obese beast, I named the hole the Bulblax Kingdom.”

Sales pitch

“A heat-resistant alloy forged in the fires of justice and passion. Wear it and feel courage's burn! You have nothing to fear! (Due to horrid ventilation, this is not suited for sweaty beings.)”
