The '''Amplified Amplifier''' ({{j|真空波動スピーカー|Shinkū Hadō Supiikaar|Vacuum Wave Speaker}}) is a [[treasure]] found both in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It is actually a {{w|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' [[whistle]]s. 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 '''Amplified Amplifier''' is a treasure in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', actually a [[Wikipedia:Loudspeaker|loudspeaker]] from a stereo, found on the final [[Sublevel]] of the [[Shower Room]]. Getting it requires fast thinking, as a [[Ranging Bloyster]] has to be defeated. After it is brought to the [[Research Pod]], [[The Ship]] uses it to create the Mega Tweeter, which increases the range of the leader's whistles drastically.
{{guide}}
{{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 [[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]].

===Olimar's Notes===
{{see also|Groovy Long Legs#Strategy}}
''"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."''
The Amplified Amplifier is inside the boss of the cave: the [[Groovy Long Legs]].

''"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."''

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


=== Schnauz's notes ===
''"It appears to be coated in slime. Are you sure you want to collect this? ...Absolutely sure?"''

=== Olimar's notes ===
''"You'll toss just about anything in my hold! It would be nice if you cleaned occasionally!"''

=== Louie's notes ===
==Mega Tweeter==
{{transcript|{{Notes:Groovy Long Legs/louie}}|block=y}}
Unlocking the Mega Tweeter increases the range of the whistles of all [[Captain]]s. The diameter of the visible circle on the screen increases to 150% of its original size, thus almost doubling the area the whistle affects. This makes it easier to call scattered [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to [[Olimar]]'s side, even when being slow in the [[Onions]].
