The Whimsical Radar is one of the most useful parts found in Pikmin. It is the only part that benefits Olimar in the game, allowing the player to view a map of the current area to see the 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 Dolphin.

Collecting the part

This part is to the right of where the Yellow Onion first found, passing a rock-wall. It is resting on a ledge that any pikmin can reach. Destroy the stone 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. You might also want to defeat the Sheargrubs too, or they will be more of a problem.

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!”
