The '''Prototype Detector''' ({{j|おたからセンサープロトタイプ|Otakara Sensar Purototaipu|Treasure Sensor Prototype}}) is a treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is a toy called a "{{w|Love Tester}}", produced by [[Nintendo]] in the 1970s. It is found on the last sublevel (5) of the [[Hole of Beasts]], and is held by this [[cave]]'s boss, the [[Empress Bulblax]]. Retrieving this treasure unlocks the [[Treasure Gauge]] as an upgrade. Like [[Treasure#Dynamic weights|some other treasures]], if the player defeats the Empress Bulblax, but does not have enough Pikmin to carry the Prototype Detector, which requires the strength of 35 Pikmin, it will change weight to match the player's army.
