The Stellar Orb is a treasure found in Pikmin 2. It is actually a lightbulb. The treasure can be found on the last (9th) sublevel of the Subterranean Complex, and is held by a powerful Man-at-Legs. When Olimar retrieves this treasure, he unlocks the Solar System component of the Exploration Kit.
Solar System
|
To do: The Pikmin Wiki page claims this has the opposite effect on sublevel 10 of the Cavern of Chaos. Confirm. |
The Solar System is a device that will illuminate any sort of darkness inside a cave's sublevels. This way, it is possible to see things that are very far away when underground. The name does not refer to where the Earth is located, but really means a system that produces solar or light energy. After recovering the treasure, the light changes take effect right away, but, like any other Exploration Kit ability, it can be revoked again if the player quits the cave via the pause menu instead of a geyser.
Notes
Ship's dialogs
“That mechanized monstrosity is no longer functional!
An insect and a machine forming a symbolic relationship? Life-forms here are beyond odd!
Initiating area scan... Glass sphere detected!
If I combine this glass sphere with the synthetic sun I have been secretly developing...
Processing...complete. I have manufactured a Solar System.
The artificial sunlight it emanates will brighten underground areas.”Olimar's journal
