The '''Analog Computer''' ({{j|アナログコンピュータ|Anarogu Konpyūta|Analog Computer}}) is a [[ship part]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. This part works with a spaceship's regular computer to make it smarter and have emotional complexity, making it quick to anger. It holds the kind of vague data that falls outside the range of ones and zeros. [[Captain Olimar]] compares this part to [[The President|his boss]]. After being collected, this part does not change the S.S. Dolphin's appearance.

The Analog Computer also appears in {{p3d}} as part of the [[Hocotate ship]] in [[Olimar's Comeback]], where it has a similar appearance with some changes. This Analog Computer has a blueish hue, a thicker base, and an inverted screen. It does not emit sonar pinging-like noises, and the antenna on top of it does not spin. It is worth {{pokos|700}}.

==Collecting the part==

===In ''Pikmin''===

The Analog Computer is located in a puddle at the far end of the trail where the [[Libra]] is found. [[Blue Pikmin]] are needed to get it out of the [[Water|puddle]] and [[Red Pikmin]] are needed to carry it through the [[fire geyser]]s. It is possible to collect this part with only 20 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] due to the [[Crimson Candypop Bud]] on the plateau near the ship part, but it is not recommended while [[Challenge run#Speedrun|speedrunning]]. Sometimes an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]] can appear from under it when it is lifted.

===In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''===
{{see also|Baldy Long Legs#Strategy|t1=Baldy Long Legs strategy}}
In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', this part is located in the Side Stories' final mission, [[The Ship Restored]]. Defeating the creatures near the start allows easy access to this mode's final boss: a golden [[Shaggy Long Legs]] (which holds the [[Nova Blaster]]) and a golden [[Baldy Long Legs]] (which holds the Analog Computer). The golden Baldy Long Legs is the first one to be encountered, and must be defeated to allow the part to be collected.

==Trivia==
* In real life, an {{w|analog computer}} is a form of computer which utilizes continuously-changeable aspects of physical phenomena to model out problems. It should be noted that analog computers have gone out of style in favor of digital computers.
* The Analog Computer can be seen in the [[enemy reel]] while showing the [[Wollywog]]s. However, it is where the [[Anti-Dioxin Filter]] is found. It should be impossible for the part to get there in game, suggesting in [[Pikmin prerelease information|an earlier version of the game]], that the Analog Computer was found there.
* In the Japanese version, Olimar compares the analog computer to his wife.{{cite quote|{{j|ドルフィン号のコンピュータが感情面で強化される。かしこくなるかわりに、おこりっぽくもなる。まるで妻と同じだな。|Dorufin-gō no konpyūta ga kanjō-men de kyōka sareru. Kashikoku naru kawari ni, okorippoku mo naru. Marude tsuma to onajida na.|The S.S. Dolphin's computer gets an emotional boost. Instead of becoming smarter, it becomes quick to anger. Just like my wife.}}|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's monologs|his monolog]]}}
* The appearance of the Analog Computer is similar to the arcade machine {{w|Computer Space}}.
