-The '''Prototype Detector''' is a treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is a toy called a '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|cave's]] boss, the [[Empress Bulblax]]. When [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] retrieves this treasure, he'll unlock the Treasure Gauge.
+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.

+{{clear}}
-The Treasure Gauge is a very reliable device that helps with tracking down every treasure in the game. There is a needle that wiggles continuously when a treasure is in the current field or cave, no matter if an enemy has it or it is buried. As the active [[Leader|captain]] approaches a treasure, the needle moves to the right and starts to flash and beep. When all the treasures in an area have been collected, or there were never any present, the device automatically turns off with an echoing beep indicating this, and the box turns gray.
+{{Notes|journal=y|sale=y|ship=y}}
-If there is an [[Antenna Beetle]] in the area, the box glows purple and the needle moves around erratically, along with incessant beeps and strange noises.  [[Olimar's notes]] indicate that this is because the Beetle's wings produce supersonic waves; the creature must be defeated for the guage to function normally again.

+==Trivia==
+*The [[Exploration Kit]] ability that collecting this treasure gives the player, the Treasure Gauge, was originally going to be called the "Pikpik Radar".{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script|Pikmin 2/Early English Script|The Cutting Room Floor}}
+*This treasure's weight changes depending on the amount of Pikmin within the player's squad, from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 35.{{cite youtube|KyMAZCzSLLQ|showing the Prototype Detector carried with a single Pikmin}}
