Item from Pikmin by Nintendo / Shigeru Miyamoto
A radio that broadcasts an endless S.O.S. and fills the Dolphin with voices from space — the one ship part that fights Olimar's loneliness as much as his countdown.
The Interstellar Radio is the most emotionally resonant ship part. Most parts serve the Dolphin's flight systems. This one serves Olimar's mental health. His log entry is one of the loneliest sentences in the game: 'Not only does it emit a constant S.O.S. signal, it also broadcasts voices from space that will brighten up my moments of boredom. The Dolphin, while comfortable, becomes quite a lonely place in the depths of the night...' The ellipsis says everything. Olimar is a social creature — a family man, a colleague, a freight pilot who interacts with dispatchers and dock workers — stranded in total isolation on a planet where nothing speaks his language. The radio does not connect him to anyone specific. It just fills the silence. And for thirty days on an alien world, filling the silence is enough.
A communication device recovered from inside a Puffy Blowhog floating over water in the Distant Spring. Metallic with antenna elements. When installed, it continuously transmits an S.O.S. signal and receives broadcasts from across space.
