The Gluon Drive.
This ship part is required for the S.S. Dolphin to escape the planet.
Weight 50
Max. carriers 70 Pikmin
Location The Distant Spring

The Gluon Drive is one of the 10 rocket parts found in The Distant Spring, and it is the heaviest ship part in the game. The Gluon Drive uses quark-binding metaphysical gluons and is very scientific but makes the S.S. Dolphin lift off with a roar.

Collecting the Part

It is found near two bridges, one near the part and the other one on the opposite side. Build both and defeat the Shearwigs found near the part. As this is the heaviest part in the game, make sure all the Bulbears and the Puffy Blowhog have been defeated to ensure the Pikmin's safety.

Trivia

  • In real life, gluons are the theoretical particles responsible for the strong nuclear force. They hold quarks, elementary particles, together like glue, hence the name.
  • This part is the heaviest item in the game, requiring 50 Pikmin to carry it.
