The '''Automatic Gear''' ({{j|オートマチック・ギア|Otomachikku Gia|Automatic Gear}}) is a [[ship part]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. It chugs along at its own pace and it makes piloting easier, giving [[Captain Olimar]] time to concentrate on finer points of space travel. When collected, this part does not change the [[S.S. Dolphin]]'s appearance.

The Automatic Gear is in the north of the area, inside an [[Arachnode]] web. You can reach the Arachnode from either direction, but before you kill it, make sure to also dispatch a nearby [[Puffy Blowhog]].

The carrying path for this part depends greatly on which structures you have built or destroyed so far in the Terrace. Predict the path carefully and kill any enemies that might threaten your Pikmin along the way.

=====Bug-Eyed Crawmad=====
For the first gear, go to the beach near the Water's Edge landing site and proceed left into a flooded passage. This corridor leads to a [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]] which has an Automatic Gear in its stomach. To ensure the Pikmin's safety as they carry the part back, it is recommended to kill the [[Aristocrab Offspring]]s on the previously mentioned beach.

For the first Automatic Gear, go northeast from the Water's Edge base into a flooded passage. This corridor leads to a [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]] which has an Automatic Gear in its stomach. To ensure the Pikmin's safety as they carry the part back, it is recommended to kill the [[Aristocrab Offspring]]s on the previously mentioned beach.

=====Masterhop=====
For the second, go west into an open space where a [[Yellow Wollyhop]] and a [[Masterhop]] reside. Kill these enemies and proceed until you find a buried Automatic Gear in the right corner.

For the third, go to The Sand Keep landing site and kill the [[Sovereign Bulblax]]. Once the boss is dead, build the [[climbing wall]] a bit to the east. It is recommended to move your base to The Sand Keep for two reasons: doing so creates a much shorter path for your Pikmin to retrieve necessary [[raw material]] from the [[S.S. Dolphin]], and eases retrieval of the [[Secret Safe]] which the Bulblax drops upon death. Beyond the climbing wall, an Automatic Gear lies amid a few [[bubble geyser]]s. Destroy the geysers with any Pikmin type before you let them carry the part.
=====The Sand Keep=====
For the third, go to The Sand Keep base and kill the [[Sovereign Bulblax]]. Once the boss is dead, build the [[climbing wall]] shortly to the east. It is recommended to move your base to The Sand Keep for two reasons: doing so creates a much shorter path for your Pikmin to retrieve necessary [[raw material]] from the [[S.S. Dolphin]], and also eases retrieval of the [[Secret Safe]] which the Bulblax drops upon death. Beyond the climbing wall, an Automatic Gear lies amid a few [[bubble geyser]]s and [[Aristocrab Offspring]]s. Destroy the geysers and kill the enemies with any Pikmin type before you let them carry the part.

After you have defeated the area's [[Gildemander]], push down the two [[cardboard box]]es leading from the eastern section of the area to the left. Kill the [[Tusked Blowhog]] between said boxes and the Feasting Centre landing site, and move your base there.
After you have defeated the area's [[Gildemander]], push down the two [[cardboard box]]es leading northward. Kill the [[Tusked Blowhog]] between said boxes and the Feasting Centre, and move your base there.


Having completed these tasks, take out at least 30 Pikmin for Olimar. Leave Moss behind and go through a hole in the wall next to the landing site mentioned previously. The tunnel leads to a moving platform that takes Olimar down to a raised desk. On the far end of this desk, an Automatic Gear lies near a [[Miniature Snootwhacker]]. Moss cannot go through the hole with Olimar, so the best option here is to stun the enemy with an item such as a [[Bomb Rock]] or [[Ice Blast]]. If no such items are available, distract the enemy with Olimar while your Pikmin carry the part.

**Interestingly, the Automatic Gear in {{p4}} is yellow and gray, making it moreso resemble the early Omega Flywheel.
