The '''Automatic Gear''' is a ship part that is found in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. It chugs along at its own pace and it makes piloting easier, giving [[Captain Olimar]] time to concentrate on finer points of space travel. When collected, this part will not visually change the S. S. Dolphin.

==Collecting the part==

{{guide}}
The Automatic Gear is found in [[The Forest Navel]], on a ledge near the landing site, where you have to build a [[twig]] to get it. As it is in a high place, Pikmin get deflowered when they fall off the edge while carrying it. The [[Glitches in Pikmin#Tilted objects|tilted ship part glitch]] can also occur due to the long drop.

To avoid your Pikmin getting deflowered, you can call them back just as they are walking off the border. Another useful method is to simply walk away. If the Pikmin are off-sight, they will not get deflowered. This technique is also useful for getting other ship parts in the game. Due to several [[Shearwig]]s being in the area where the Pikmin fall, you must take precautions to ensure [[Zero-death run|no Pikmin deaths]].

[[Fiery Blowhog]]s can also wander into the drop point of the part later in the day, so it may be a good idea to use [[Red Pikmin]]. If doing a [[speedrun]], have your Pikmin work on collecting this part while you discover the [[Blue Pikmin]], as the [[Blue Onion]] and the part are very close together.

*A very early [[Treasure Hoard]] icon for the [[Omega Flywheel]] resembles the Automatic Gear, but is yellow instead.{{cite web|http://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Unused_%26_Early_Treasures/Earliest_Treasure_Graphics|Pikmin 2/Unused Early Treasures/Earliest Treasure Graphics|The Cutting Room Floor}}
