The #2 Ionium Jet is a ship part in Pikmin. It is probably a slight boost, as Olimar states, but it could easily be used for smoother flying and quicker turns. Like the #1 Ionium Jet, this is obviously needed for the Dolphin needs to propel itself through deep space. In Pikmin 2 it is replaced by the Massage Girdle.

Collecting the part

It is on a stone platform in the far north of the area. To retrieve it, first throw at least 15 Blue Pikmin on the platform to the west of it, and use the nearby geyser to reunite with them. Then simply throw them across the gap to the Jet. The path to the ship from there is full of Water Dumples, Dwarf Bulbears and Spotty Bulbears, so be sure to clear the path before taking this piece.

Notes

Olimar's monologs

I've found my #2 Ionium Jet!

It's easy on the eyes, and its fuel efficiency is easy on the budget.


The ads for these jets boast that "with excellent mileage that's easy on the family budget, this jet will keep your wife smiling and propel you to a happy home life!"
