This ship part is required for the S.S. Dolphin to escape the planet.

Max. carriers	40 Pikmin
Location	The Forest Navel

The Analog Computer is a rocket part for the S.S. Dolphin in Pikmin. This part is found in a puddle near some fire geysers in The Forest Navel. It works with a ship's regular computer to make it smarter and have emotional complexity, making it quick to anger with an attitude. It holds the kind of vague data that falls outside of the ones and zeros range. Because Olimar says this, many players mistake this piece for an optional ship part, but it is mandatory. Captain Olimar compares this part to his boss. After being collected, this part does not change the S.S. Dolphin's appearance.

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

The Analog Computer is located to the far end of the trail where the Libra is found. Blue Pikmin are needed to get it out of the puddle and Red Pikmin to take it through the fire geysers. It is possible to collect this part with only 20 Pikmin due to the Crimson Candypop Bud on the plateau near the ship part. Sometimes an Iridescent Flint Beetle can appear from under it when it is lifted.

Notes

Olimar's monologs

“I've found my Analog Computer!

This computer conveys the kind of vague data that falls outside the range of ones and zeros. Actually, to be honest, it's a little bit too vague, so it isn't very helpful.

---

This strengthens the outward emotions of the Dolphin's computer. While it does make the computer smart, it also makes it quick to anger. It's just like my boss.”
