Item from Pikmin 2 by Nintendo / Shigeru Miyamoto
A 1-kilogram dumbbell, heavily rusted and blue — the single most valuable surface treasure in the game at x3,000 Pokos, in the final area, requiring 100 Pikmin to carry.
The Doomsday Apparatus is the game's joke about scale and context. It's a gym dumbbell. A human fitness accessory. On PNF-404, the Hocotate Ship evaluates it as artillery, a weapon of mass destruction, potentially capable of ending worlds. Olimar writes a journal entry that takes this assessment seriously. The object is worth x3,000 Pokos. It requires 100 Pikmin to move. It is a dumbbell. The dream of the expedition is that this is all true simultaneously.
A standard 1-kilogram barbell dumbbell, iron, heavily corroded to a rusted blue-grey. It weighs 1,000 units in Pikmin terms — the equivalent of 1,000 standard Pikmin working at full capacity, or 100 Purple Pikmin. It sits in the Wistful Wild, deceptively small given its weight value.
