The '''Analog Computer''' is a ship part for the [[S.S. Dolphin]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. This part is found in a puddle near some fire geysers in [[The Forest Navel]]. It works with a ship's regular computer to make it smarter and have emotional complexity, making it quick to anger with an attitude. It holds the kind of vague data that falls outside of the ones and zeros range. Because Olimar says this, many players mistake this piece for an optional ship part, but it is mandatory. [[Captain Olimar]] compares this part to [[The President|his boss]]. After being collected, this part does not change the S.S. Dolphin's appearance. It also appears in {{p3d}} as part of the [[Hocotate ship]] in [[Olimar's Comeback]].

{{guide}}
The Analog Computer is located to the far end of the trail where the [[Libra]] is found. [[Blue Pikmin]] are needed to get it out of the puddle and [[Red Pikmin]] to take it through the fire geysers. It is possible to collect this part with only 20 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] due to the [[Crimson Candypop Bud]] on the plateau near the ship part, but it is not recommended while [[Challenge run#speedrun|speed running]]. Sometimes an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]] can appear from under it when it is lifted.

==Trivia==
* In real life, an {{w|analog computer}} is a form of computer which utilizes continuously-changeable aspects of physical phenomena to model out problems.
* The Analog Computer can be seen in the [[enemy reel]] while showing the [[Wollywog]]s. However, it is where the [[Anti-Dioxin Filter]] is found. It should be impossible for the part to get there in game, suggesting in [[ Pikmin prerelease information|an earlier version of the game]], that the Analog Computer was supposed to be there.
* In the Japanese version, Olimar compares the analog computer to his wife.{{source needed}}
* The appearance of the Analog Computer is similar to the arcade machine {{w|Computer Space}}.
