Pikmin Wiki

The Analog Computer is a recurring ship part in the Pikmin series. One first appears in Pikmin, as one of twenty-five mandatory parts for the S.S. Dolphin. A different Analog Computer for the Hocotate Ship appears in the Olimar's Comeback mode of Pikmin 3 Deluxe. The main physical difference between the two Analog Computers is that the one for the S.S. Dolphin is yellow, while the Hocotate Ship's is blue.

Mainline appearances[]

Pikmin[]

The Analog Computer is located in The Forest Navel, in a puddle near some Fire Geysers. To get it, Blue Pikmin are needed to get it out of the puddle and Red Pikmin to get it out of the area with Fire Geysers. The Analog Computer is to the far end of the trail where the Libra can also be found. It is possible to collect this part with only twenty Pikmin due to the Crimson Candypop Bud on the plateau near the ship part. An Iridescent Flint Beetle can sometimes appear from under it when it is lifted.

In his Discovery Notes, Olimar says that the Analog Computer holds the type of vague data that falls outside of the ones and zeros range. Furthermore, the Ship Log mentions that the Analog Computer works with the S.S. Dolphin's regular computer to make the computer smarter and gives it emotional complexity, making it quick to anger with an attitude

Pikmin 3 Deluxe[]

In Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the Analog Computer appears in the final mission of Olimar's Comeback, The Ship Restored. It is held by a golden Baldy Long Legs, and can be retrieved after defeating it.

Notes[]

Discovery Notes[]

"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."

Ship Log[]

"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."

Trivia[]

  • In real life, an Analog computer is a form of computer which utilizes continuously-changeable aspects of physical phonema to model out problems.
  • The Analog Computer can be seen in the Enemy Reel while the Wollyhops are shown. However, it is where the Anti-Dioxin Filter is found.
  • Olimar's notes about the Analog Computer mention his boss, The President, as being one quick to anger. However, in Pikmin 2, he does not seem that way. In the Japanese version, Olimar instead compares the Analog Computer to his wife.
