This article is about the small loudspeaker that increases the whistle's range. For the large megaphone that allows the whistle to pluck Pikmin, see Professional Noisemaker.

The Amplified Amplifier (真空波動スピーカー?, lit.: "Vacuum Wave Speaker") is a treasure found both in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. It is actually a loudspeaker. In Pikmin 2, it is found on the Shower Room's seventh and final sublevel. Collecting it prompts the Hocotate ship to create a piece of gear, the Mega Tweeter, which considerably increases the range of the leaders' whistles. In Pikmin 4, a redesigned Amplified Amplifier is found in the Below-Grade Discotheque's fifth and final sublevel. Unlike Pikmin 2, collecting it does not unlock any upgrade.

Collecting the treasure in Pikmin 2

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

See also: Ranging Bloyster#Strategy.

The Amplified Amplifier is held by the boss of the cave, the Ranging Bloyster, so a battle is required to retrieve it. Like 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 here and here.

The Amplified Amplifier is inside the boss of the cave, the Groovy Long Legs.

Notes

Ship's dialogs

Processing... How odd. The gooey creature dissolved, leaving this curious item behind.

It appears to be coated in slime. Are you sure you want to collect this? ...Absolutely sure?

You'll toss just about anything in my hold. It would be nice if you cleaned occasionally.


This shape is well suited for the emission and amplification of sound waves. A moment, please.

I shall use this as the final part in my new sound equipment. The Mega Tweeter is done!

Captain Olimar, this device has increased the acoustic range of your whistle!

Olimar's journal

Today, we searched a deep underground structure that was completely covered in tile! I have no idea what it was originally intended for, but I've decided to call it the Shower Room. Deep within, I clashed with a sleek bug that coughed up this conical curiosity.

Sales pitch

Your voice is weak. It does not carry. No one notices you. If this is true, then this is the item for you! Starting today, you are a gym teacher! You will never be ignored again.

Schnauz's notes

Your voice is weak. It does not carry. No one notices you. If this is true, then this item is for you! Starting today, you are a gym teacher! You will never be ignored again.

Olimar's notes

I wasn't surprised to discover this had been found inside a Groovy Long Legs deep underground. It certainly gives off the same vibes as a creature made of inorganic and organic materials. On a separate note, every time I look at it, I want to dance.

Louie's notes

So fun to jump up and down on it!
