The Nintendo Switch port of Pikmin 2 redesigns the game's treasures to replace all instances of real-world product placement, most likely due to licensing issues. In its place are generic versions of the same or similar goods, with the exact method of alteration varying from treasure to treasure.

Some replace the real-world brands with fictional ones, such as Duracell batteries being rebranded "Super Battery," Skippy peanut butter becoming "Ribbon's," and Tree Top apple juice becoming "Fresh." Others are replaced with unbranded counterparts; some cases, like Kiwi Shoe Polish, Chapstick lip balm, and French's mustard simply scrub the brand names, while others change the product entirely, such as Underwood deviled ham becoming tuna salad, Carmex cold sore ointment becoming hand cream, and Vlasic pickles becoming orange jam. Curiously, the Durable Energy Cell's name goes unchanged despite being a play on the now-excised Duracell brand.
