**{{icon|Positron Generator|y}}: The ship is on a Pearly Clamclamp on a beach. Although by using small islands on the beach, it is possible to attack the Pearly Clamclamp using Red or Yellow Pikmin, and the ship part can then be pushed out of the water with the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Lying down glitch|lying down glitch]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB2E8pCVqco A YouTube video showing the Positron Generator being recovered using only Red Pikmin]</ref>
**None
**{{icon|Radiation Canopy|y}}: The path that Olimar needs to cross is blocked by a gate on a body of water. However, with precise [[throw]]s, it's possible to throw bomb-rock Yellow Pikmin to the top of the gate, and destroy it without needing Blues.
**{{icon|Geiger Counter|y}}: In order to reach the [[Burrowing Snagret]] that holds the ship part, a [[cardboard box]] must be pushed out of the way, and Blue Pikmin need to be guided from a puddle to the backside of the box. Although it is possible to use other Pikmin to throw the box, either with [[Throw#Longer throw trick|long throws]] or by throwing them to the top of the box and [[Group move|guiding them]] to the back.
**{{icon|Sagittarius|y}}: Two bridges must be built to reach the part, but one of them can only be reached by tossing Pikmin while in a large pond. Luckily, there is a small protrusion on the island that allows non-Blue Pikmin to shore on, and from there, they can be thrown at the bridge. To reach the bit of land, the Pikmin can just swim towards it from the mainland.
**{{icon|Analog Computer|y}}: This ship part is submerged in water, although it can be taken out using the lying down glitch.
**{{icon|Number 1 Ionium Jet|y}}: Same as the Analog Computer.
**{{icon|Libra|y}}: Blue Pikmin are needed to activate the geyser that gives Olimar access to the first high ledge. Although it is possible to have other Pikmin types open the geyser: if they are [[Group move|guided]] towards it, they might land one or two hits before starting their drowning sequence. They can just be called back, and the process can be repeated until the geyser is enabled.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79o04GEvocI A YouTube video showing how, in theory, one can obtain the Libra using only Red Pikmin]</ref>
**{{icon|Anti-Dioxin Filter|y}}: The part is on a large pool of water, but with the lying down glitch, it is possible to take it out without Blues.
**{{icon|Secret Safe|y}}: The island with the bridges is in the middle of the lake, meaning Blue Pikmin must traverse it to reach it. That said, it is not too hard to guide Red or Yellow Pikmin to the island, by whistling them to it while they're drowning.

**In order to access the southern part of the [[Wistful Wild]], an underwater clog must be taken down. The only way to bring things back to the landing site is to build the bridge on the other side of a lake; provided the player has destroyed the clog, they can go around and build it with any Pikmin type, but if not, Blues will have to cross the lake and build it.
