The Geiger Counter is a rocket part of the Dolphin that can be found in The Forest of Hope, inside a Burrowing Snagret that ingested it. Although the part is vital to the ship's repair, Captain Olimar is ignorant to what its purpose is. He notes it "goes wild and lets out a lot of noise", but he ignores it regardless. Olimar admits he should read the operator's manual for it. Perhaps it would have alerted him, and the meteor would have missed.

Background

In real life, a Geiger counter is a device used to measure radioactivity in a given area.
