The Prototype Detector is a treasure in Pikmin 2. It is a toy called a 'Love Tester', produced by Nintendo in the 1970s. It is found on the last sublevel (5) of the Hole of Beasts, and is held by this cave's boss, the Empress Bulblax. When Olimar retrieves this treasure, he'll unlock the Treasure Gauge.
Treasure Gauge
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
