{{Infobox ship part
The '''Geiger Counter''' is a rocket part of the Dolphin that can be found in [[The Forest of Hope]], inside a [[Burrowing Snagret]] that ingested it. Although the part is vital to the ship's repair, [[Captain Olimar]] is ignorant to what its purpose is. He notes it "goes wild and lets out a lot of noise", but he ignores it regardless. Olimar admits he should read the operator's manual for it. Perhaps it would have alerted him, and the meteor would have missed.

The '''Geiger Counter''' ({{j|ガイガーカウンター|Gaigā Kauntā|Geiger Counter}}) is a ship part of the [[S.S. Dolphin]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', on [[The Forest of Hope]]. Although the part is vital to the ship's repair, [[Captain Olimar]] is ignorant as to what its purpose is. He notes it "goes wild and lets out a lot of noise", but he ignores it regardless and admits he should read the operator's manual for it.
== Background ==
In real life, a Geiger counter is a device used to measure radioactivity in a given area.


The Geiger Counter reappears as a ship part in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}. It is found in the [[Hero's Hideaway]].
[[Category:Pikmin 1 Ship Parts]]
 
After being collected, this part is installed on the ship's main hatch.

From the landing site, go to the right. Break a [[wall]] with [[Bomb rock|bomb-rocks]] that's to the left of the [[Yellow Onion]]'s original position. Defeat a few [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]s and [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and then use [[Blue Pikmin]] to push a [[cardboard box]] near the water, allowing him to progress further. Olimar will then find three [[Burrowing Snagret]]s; mainly attack the Snagret closest to the edge as it has the ship part, but be wary of the two neighboring Snagrets. The [[Whimsical Radar]] is useful to distinguish the right one. It should be noted that the Snagrets will continue to attack the Pikmin carrying the ship part, so '''all''' Snagrets should be defeated to ensure Pikmin safety. If you fear for your Pikmin's safety while carrying the Geiger Counter back to the Dolphin, have Blues carry it, as they are immune to drowning and can bypass the Snagrets by carrying it off the edge of the cliff, through the pond underneath and onto land.

Dig a tunnel to the kitchen countertop in the northern part of the area. From there, go past the sink on the right (or swim over it if you are using [[Moss]]). Break down the [[electric gate]] using [[Yellow Pikmin]] and proceed right, where you will find a [[Bearded Amprat]] and a stack of two saucers with the Geiger Counter on top. Killing the Amprat is recommended to ensure the Pikmin's safety as they carry the part.

==Trivia==
*In real life, a {{w|Geiger counter}} is a device used to measure radioactivity in a given area. The clicks and buzzes Olimar mentions is the Geiger Counter reading the amount of radiation. The faster the rate of clicks and buzzes means there's more radiation in the local area.
