The '''Interstellar Radio''' ({{j|宇宙ムセン|Uchu Musen|Space Radio}}) is one of the ship parts featured in {{p1}} and {{p4}}. The Interstellar Radio emits a constant S.O.S. signal, and emits voices to counteract the loneliness of space. Once found and brought back to the [[S.S. Dolphin]], it will float around the spaceship, to starboard of the nose (to the front and right of [[Captain Olimar]] when he is seated). During take-off, the Interstellar Radio moves around and latches on to the hull on the starboard side, next to the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet|#1 Ionium Jet]]. Olimar hints in his second monologue for this part that all parts may not be needed to fly the ship. Because Olimar says this, many players mistake this piece for an optional ship part, but it is mandatory.

It is found inside the body of a [[Puffy Blowhog]] in the big lake, and may be near three [[Water Dumple]]s. On land, defeat the [[Spotty Bulbear]] to ensure the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin's]] safety.

== In ''Pikmin 4'' ==
The Interstellar Radio is the final objective of the game's prologue. Captain Olimar and [[Moss]] land in [[Hero's Hideaway]] to search for it, and after gathering back his [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] that scattered out of the [[Onion]], he faces off against the [[Porquillion]] that ate it. As soon as he retrieves the ship part, he quickly sends out an S.O.S. signal.
