*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". How this all happens in a small space is unknown, however.
*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.
