In the Japaneseversion ofPikmin 2, this treasure's equivalent is theLove and Courage Reactor, which is a "National Hi-Top" battery, a Japanese brand of battery. Strangely, on the USNew Play Control! Pikmin 2 website, the Courage Reactor is shown as a National Hi-Top battery instead of a Duracell battery.[2]
In theSwitch port ofPikmin 2, the Courage Reactor has had its branding removed, instead being retextured to look like a generic battery brand.
