The '''Positron Generator''' is a ship part in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' that is found at [[The Impact Site]]. It is a green, rounded object with two golden antennae on the top. [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] mentions he uses this to make "Instant Space Noodles".

Taking three [[Yellow Pikmin]], go to the [[Cardboard Box]] that was pushed out of the way on Day 1. Throw or swarm the Pikmin inside the box to pick up at least three [[Bomb Rock]]s; use these to destroy the [[Gate|stone wall]] found up the ramp on the tree-stump. If the day is day 8 or over, a [[Mamuta]] (even-numbered day) or [[Goolix]] (odd-numbered day) will be in the center of the massive tree stump, so be sure to defeat before progressing further. To create a faster route back to the ''[[S.S. Dolphin]]'', knock down the white gate to the left of the shore now, then withdraw at least twenty [[Blue Pikmin]] and attack the [[Pearly Clamclamp]] in the [[Hazards#Water|water]], to the left. Have your twenty Blue Pikmin take the part back to the Dolphin once it is free.

*In real life, [[Wikipedia:Positron|positrons]] are [[wikipedia:Antimatter|antimatter]], the [[wikipedia:Antiparticle|antiparticle]] counterparts of [[wikipedia:Electrons|electrons]].
*When Olimar retrieves the Positron Generator, he says in his notes that if you approach it, you can receive an electric shock. However, neither him nor the Pikmin can be damaged by it in-game.

*There is a rare glitch that is known to happen invloving this part. If collecting this part gains you access to [[The Distant Spring]], sometimes the propeller-like fan that comes out of the ''[[S.S. Dolphin]]'' when the Distant Spring is unlocked will appear in the cutscene, but will not be visible on the ''S.S. Dolphin'' itself for the rest of the day.

*Oddly, this part is said to generate enormous amounts of electricity, yet the Eternal Fuel Dynamo can generate unlimited electricity.
==Etymology==
In real life, [[Wikipedia:Positron|positrons]] are [[wikipedia:Antimatter|antimatter]], the [[wikipedia:Antiparticle|antiparticle]] counterparts of [[wikipedia:Electrons|electrons]]. It is said that positrons are created through the process of "positron emission radioactive decay".
