Amplified Amplifier: Difference between revisions

In Pikmin 2, collecting it unlocks an [[upgrade]], the [[Mega Tweeter]], when collected. It is actually a {{w|loudspeaker}} and is found on the [[Shower Room]]'s seventh and final sublevel. The Amplified Amplifier is held by the [[boss]] of the cave, the [[Ranging Bloyster]], so a [[battle]] is required to retrieve it. Bringing it back to the [[Research Pod]] prompts the [[Hocotate ship]] to create the [[Mega Tweeter]], which considerably increases the range of the leaders' [[whistle]]s. Like [[Treasure#Dynamic weights|some other treasures]], if the player defeats the Ranging Bloyster, but does not have enough Pikmin to carry the Amplified Amplifier, which requires the strength of twenty Pikmin, it will change weight to match the player's army. Note that due to how sublevel generation works, it is possible for the Ranging Bloyster to not spawn, making it impossible to obtain this treasure, as detailed [[Pikmin 2 cave generation|here]] and [[Mistake#Missing sublevel objects|here]].

In Pikmin 4, a re-designed Amplified Amplifier is found in the [[Below-Grade Discotheque]]'s fifth and final sublevel, inside the boss of the cave, the [[Groovy Long Legs]]. Unlike Pikmin 2, collecting it does not unlock any upgrade, nor does it change weight to match the player's army, being fixed at a weight of 12.
