Treasure Gauge
- Main article: HUD#Treasure Gauge.
The Treasure Gauge is a very reliable device that helps with tracking down every treasure in the game, no matter if is out in the open, an enemy has it or it is buried. When it is in the Exploration Kit, a gauge appears on the HUD. In it, there is a needle that wiggles continuously when a treasure is in the current field or cave, and the closer the current leader is to a treasure, the farther to the right it goes, and the harder it beeps.
Notes
Ship's dialogs
“How bizarre. This device is emitting black light. It must have been ingested by that creature.
What an absolutely repulsive life-form. Our return to Hocotate cannot come soon enough.
This contraption seems to react when it approaches treasure. I will connect it to my radar.
Processing...complete. The Treasure Gauge is now fully operational!
It will now appear on your monitor. The needle will move right as you approach treasure.”Olimar's journal
