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. Retrieving this treasure unlocks the Treasure Gauge as an upgrade.
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
