The '''Bowsprit''' ({{j|バウスプリット|Bausupuritto|Bowsprit}}) is a ship part in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}. It is the "face" of the [[S.S. Dolphin]], designed by [[Captain Olimar]], and gives the Dolphin its sleek shape. In ''Pikmin'', it can be found inside the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] in the central tree stump of [[The Distant Spring]].

Once recovered, it is installed on its rightful place, as the nose of the Dolphin.

==Collecting the part==

===In ''Pikmin''===
{{location map | width = 350 | height = 595 | image = DS texture.png | bg = #111 | caption = Location of the Bowsprit. | icons =

Getting it requires many steps. First, defeat all [[Bulbear]]s and [[Puffy Blowhog]]s that will be in the way back to the ship. There are two paths to get to it: either cross the fire [[geyser]]s near the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] or take the safe route near the landing site by building the [[twig]] and unplugging the geyser. Then defeat the Beetle and retrieve the part. Build the [[bridge]] and destroy the [[gate]] so Pikmin can carry it back to the Dolphin, defeating the [[Shearwig]]s along the way. Assuming they take the eastern path back to the Dolphin, [[Blue Pikmin]] will carry the part through a shortcut in the water, thus avoiding the three sleeping Bulbears on the way.

===In ''Pikmin 4''===
{{Game help|p4|Add a guide on how to acquire the part.}}
The Bowsprit is located directly east from the starting base of Seren Shore, all the way near the edge of the map. You'll need 30 Blue Pikmin to carry it and Moss' swimming ability to reach it. Make sure to defeat the enemies and clear the obstacles that are in the way so the Pikmin can carry it safely back to base.

==Trivia==
*The antenna of the Bowsprit is only partially attached when not on the S.S. Dolphin.
*A bowsprit in real life is a pole that extends forward of a ship from the prow of the vessel.
*In Pikmin 4, if you use ice blasts and moss' rush ability, you don't need Blue pikmin to get the ship part.
