The Prototype Detector is a treasure in Pikmin 2. It is a toy called a 'Love Tester', produced by Nintendo in the 1970s.

Treasure Gauge
File:Treasuregauge.JPG
The Treasure Gauge indicator that appears on the bottom right of the screen. It is currently activated.
The Treasure Gauge is a very reliable device that helps with tracking down every treasure in the game. 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.
If there are no treasures available in the sublevel or field, the gauge turns off and becomes gray on the HUD. If an Antenna Beetle is nearby, the box glows purple and the needle moves erratically, until the creature is defeated.
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
“Today we searched a subterranean lair swarming with carnivorous bugs. The name Hole of Beasts immediately came to mind. The convenient contraption I found there has become an invaluable treasure-seeking tool. When it approaches a piece of treasure, the gadget beeps and the needle moves to the right. When all of the treasure in an area has been collected, the device powers down. When we left Hocotate, I thought we'd never be able to pay off the company's debt. But thanks to this gadget, I'm feeling optimistic about the outcome of this daring mission.”
Sales pitch
“Is this a miracle gadget born of universal desire, or a machine manufactured by the master of Dimension X? Whatever it is, it reacts to treasure!”
