The '''Professional Noisemaker''' is a giant red [[Wikipedia:Megaphone|megaphone]] head, a [[Treasure Hoard|treasure]] in [[Pikmin 2]]. It is found on the last [[sublevel]] (5) of the [[Submerged Castle]], and is held by a voracious [[Waterwraith]].

==Pluckaphone==
The '''Professional Noisemaker''' ({{j|やかましメカ|Yakamashi Meka|Noisy Mecha}}) is a giant red {{w|megaphone}} head, a [[Treasure Hoard|treasure]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is held by the [[Waterwraith]], which can only be defeated on the fifth and final sublevel of the [[Submerged Castle]]. When this treasure is retrieved, the [[Pluckaphone]], part of the [[Exploration Kit]], is made functional by the [[Hocotate ship]]. Like [[Treasure#Dynamic weights|some other treasures]], if the player defeats the Waterwraith, but does not have enough Pikmin to carry the Professional Noisemaker, which requires the strength of 15 Pikmin, it will change weight to match the player's army.
The Pluckaphone is a special item that powers the [[captain|pilots']] whistles with the ability to call planted [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] out from the ground, saving precious time that would otherwise be spent plucking them out. As well as picking newly produced Pikmin at the [[Onion]]s, this is useful for calling out Pikmin that were planted by a [[Mamuta]] or transformed by [[Candypop Bud]]s.


In the first trailer for [[Pikmin 1]], Olimar is seen calling Pikmin from the ground, so the Pluckaphone may be an implementation of a pre-release element from the first Pikmin game.

This article is about the large megaphone that allows the whistle to pluck Pikmin. For the small loudspeaker that increases the whistle's range, see Amplified Amplifier.

The Professional Noisemaker (やかましメカ?, lit.: "Noisy Mecha") is a giant red megaphone head, a treasure in Pikmin 2. It is held by the Waterwraith, which can only be defeated on the fifth and final sublevel of the Submerged Castle. When this treasure is retrieved, the Pluckaphone, part of the Exploration Kit, is made functional by the Hocotate ship. Like some other treasures, if the player defeats the Waterwraith, but does not have enough Pikmin to carry the Professional Noisemaker, which requires the strength of 15 Pikmin, it will change weight to match the player's army.

Notes

Ship's dialogs

Processing... How curious. The wraith completely vanished! But what was it?

Surface-object scans indicate the presence of a bright red component!


How insulting... This object's coloring is more eye-catching than my own hull!

I shall connect it to the alarm clock our esteemed president was so fond of.

Processing...complete. I have refitted both objects into a Pluckaphone.

Now, simply blowing your whistle will inspire Pikmin sprouts to pop up out of the ground.

Olimar's journal

I recently took a team of blue Pikmin on an expedition to explore a submerged cavern. While exploring this watery cavern, I encountered some very strange phenomena. It was such a strange place that I'm still wondering if it was all just a dream. I found this curious treasure in that cavern, so if it was just an illusion, I'm even more confused. I named that confounding place the Submerged Castle.

Sales pitch

Noisier than a spaceship, this wonderful item will make your miserable life 120 percent more exciting.
