The '''Whimsical Radar''' is one of the most useful parts found in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. It is the only part that benefits Olimar in the game, allowing the player to view a [[Radar|map]] of the current area to see the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], including strays, and the missing rocket parts. It gives [[Olimar]] the ability to see all rocket parts and Pikmin in the area with just one glance at the monitor of the [[S.S. Dolphin|Dolphin]].

The '''Whimsical Radar''' ({{j|きまぐれなレーダー|Kimagure Na Rēdā|Whimsical Radar}}) is one of the [[ship part]]s found in {{p1}}. It is the only part that has another function besides helping the [[S.S. Dolphin]] run, as it allows the player to view a [[Radar|map]] of the current area to pinpoint [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and other missing parts. When the part is recollected, the ship part is installed at the back of the S.S. Dolphin. This is the only ship part whose collection makes the [[camera]] move during the [[cutscene]] to show its installation.
 
The Whimsical Radar appears as a ship part in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}. It is found in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]]. The radar map is available from the start of Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, so the Whimsical Radar has no special function in the mode. In other games in the ''Pikmin'' series, the map is likewise available from the start or accessed through means other than recovering a ship part.

This part is to the north of where the Yellow Onion is first found, past a [[Gate|stone gate]]. It is resting on a ledge that any Pikmin can reach.

The Whimsical Radar is in the area's northeastern corner. Beware of an [[Armored Cannon Larva]] that is continuously launching rocks down the slope. Once at the top, kill the Larva lest it may harm Pikmin as they carry the part back.

The Whimsical Radar (きまぐれなレーダー?, lit.: "Whimsical Radar") is one of the ship parts found in Pikmin. It is the only part that has another function besides helping the S.S. Dolphin run, as it allows the player to view a map of the current area to pinpoint Pikmin and other missing parts. When the part is recollected, the ship part is installed at the back of the S.S. Dolphin. This is the only ship part whose collection makes the camera move during the cutscene to show its installation.

The Whimsical Radar appears as a ship part in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale in Pikmin 4. It is found in the Sun-Speckled Terrace. The radar map is available from the start of Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, so the Whimsical Radar has no special function in the mode. In other games in the Pikmin series, the map is likewise available from the start or accessed through means other than recovering a ship part.

Collecting the part[edit]

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Location of the Whimsical Radar in The Forest of Hope.

This part is to the north of where the Yellow Onion is first found, past a stone gate. It is resting on a ledge that any Pikmin can reach. Destroy the gate using the nearby bomb-rocks, then defeat the Dwarf Bulborbs and Spotty Bulborb. Its sonar can be heard ringing as Olimar approaches it, so it is very easy to find. The Male and Female Sheargrubs nearby may pose a threat, so you might want to take them out.

You can also opt out of using more bomb rocks by going around behind your base into the area with the sheargrubs. After killing all harmful enemies, you can throw Pikmin onto the ledge and allow them to carry the Whimsical Radar back safely.

Location of the Whimsical Radar in the Sun-Speckled Terrace.

The Whimsical Radar is in the area's northeastern corner. Beware of an Armored Cannon Larva that is continuously launching rocks down the slope. Once at the top, kill the Larva lest it may harm Pikmin as they carry the part back. Alternatively or as a speedrunning strategy, you may leave the enemy alive and use Olimar or Moss to distract it from said Pikmin.

Notes

Olimar's monologs

“It's my Whimsical Radar!

With this, I'll be able to see all nearby ship parts in a single glance—I just press Y to check it. This find fills me with great hope.

This important part can detect the locations of the other missing parts. The radar will be added to my monitor, which I can press Y to view. C zooms in and out. This will surely help me in my search for the remaining parts!”
