- This article is about the gear with a hole in it. For the one with a peg, see Omega Flywheel.
The Spirit Flogger (社員の手本?, lit.: "Model Employee") is a treasure in Pikmin 2. This item is a rusty metallic gear. It is found on sublevel 2 of the Subterranean Complex. The Careening Dirigibugs and Swooping Snitchbugs in the sublevel may disrupt attempts to gather this treasure.
Notes
Olimar's journal
“For a long time now, I've just been whiling away my life like a sprocket in a machine. Sometimes I just stop and wonder, am I happy with my life? Ack... I can't start thinking like that. I must concentrate on my mission!”
Sales pitch
“An item for CEOs throughout the solar system, this arcane shape bewitches the human heart. Give this to an employee to create a no-vacation-taking, no-bonus-needing work machine!”
Sales pitch (Nintendo Switch)
“An item for CEOs throughout the solar system, this arcane shape bewitches the human heart. Give this to employees, and they'll move through their workday with an extra spring in their step!”

Trivia
- The original Japanese name and all translations are a facetious reference to employees being regarded as insignificant 'gears' in a 'corporate machine' in popular culture, which is reflected in both Olimar's journal entry and the sales pitch.
