When it is in the Exploration Kit, a gauge appears on the [[HUD]]. In it, there is a needle that wiggles continuously when a treasure is in the current field or cave, and the closer the current leader is to a treasure, the farther to the right it goes, and the harder it beeps. | ||
If there are no treasures available in the sublevel or field, the gauge turns off and becomes gray on the HUD. If an [[Antenna Beetle]] is nearby, the box glows purple and the needle moves erratically, until the creature is defeated. | |||
