The Extraordinary Bolt is a large, but plain bolt found in Pikmin. It has a red plating on the bottom of it. It is described by Olimar as being "Extraordinary!"

Collecting the Part

 
The Extraordindnary Bolt, sitting in front of Olimar.

The Extraordinary Bolt is found behind a Black Stone Gate past the original place of the Yellow Onion and the Whimsical Radar, an ideal place to test the usage of Yellow Pikmin with Bomb Rocks. It takes nine Bomb Rocks to destroy this gate, and there is also a path to the ship that should be secured first, especially considering the nearby Sheargrubs and Spotty Bulborbs, if they haven't already been defeated. If Olimar is planning to defeat them, he must defeat them himself instead of with his Pikmin.

In Pikmin 2, the Hole of Beasts replaces this part's location.

Trivia
