The Treasure Gauge is a device found in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4'' that helps with tracking down every treasure in the game, no matter if is out in the open, an enemy has it or it is buried. It detects [[castaway]]s, including conscious or unconscious [[leafling]]s, in the same manner in ''Pikmin 4''. In ''Pikmin 2'', it is obtained by collecting the [[Prototype Detector]] from the [[Empress Bulblax]] in the [[Hole of Beasts]]. When it is in the Exploration Kit, a gauge appears on the [[HUD]]. In the device's ''Pikmin 2'' iteration, 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. In ''Pikmin 4'', the needle is replaced by a row of lights that light up, starting from the left, as the leader approaches whatever the device has detected. If there are no treasures or castaways in a given area or sublevel, a chime will sound shortly after collecting the last relevant item. In ''Pikmin 2'', the needle goes to the left edge while the gauge grays out; in ''Pikmin 4'', the entire display goes black. It can be interfered with by the [[Antenna Beetle]], [[Gildemandwee]], and [[Gildemander]], the only Exploration Kit upgrade to be specifically targeted in gameplay. | The Treasure Gauge is a device found in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 4'' that helps with tracking down every treasure in the game, no matter if is out in the open, an enemy has it or it is buried.

In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in ''Pikmin 4'', | In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in ''Pikmin 4'', the reward for recovering 12 [[ship part]]s is a device called the Parts Detector. It shares its icon with the Treasure Gauge and works exactly the same, except it detects Olimar's lost ship parts instead of treasure. | ||
