The '''Nova Blaster''' ({{j|ノヴァブラスター|Nova Burasutā|Nova Blaster}}) is a [[ship part]] of the [[S.S. Dolphin]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. Its promotional brochure claims that it emits a powerful burst of light said to be able to destroy stellar objects as large as stars. It is unknown why a cargo ship like the Dolphin and Hocotate ship would have this weapon, however, it is assumed that its purpose is as a means of defense against space pirates. The brochure also says that the blasts could travel through the currents in space.
As pointed out by the game's instruction manual, the reason why [[Captain Olimar]] did not intercept the incoming meteor from the beginning of the game with the Nova Blaster is because the route he was flying through was usually a safe one, therefore he had put the S.S. Dolphin on auto-pilot to get some tea, and failed to notice the meteor. However, this does not explain why the [[Guard Satellite]] had failed to warn the Captain of the meteor, despite having the means to destroy it with the Nova Blaster.
In {{p3d}}, another Nova Blaster with green paint appears as a part of the [[Hocotate ship]]. This Nova Blaster is worth {{pokos|800|p}}. The Nova Blaster reappears as a ship part in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}.
After being collected, this ship part does not change the ship's appearance.

=== In ''Pikmin'' ===

Destroy the [[Gate|stone wall]] next to the landing area with [[bomb-rock]]s. Next, defeat the [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]. Destroy the black gate or go through a small opening in the tree stump's root. Continue down the path, beating more [[Grub-dog|Bulborbs]]. It is at the end, next to a rusted open tin can.
=== In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' ===
{{see also|Shaggy Long Legs#Strategy|t1=Shaggy Long Legs strategy}}
The Nova Blaster is held inside the golden Shaggy Long Legs found in the last mission of [[Olimar's Comeback]].  Defeating the creature allows retrieval of the part.


The '''Nova Blaster''' is a rocket part of the [[S.S. Dolphin]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. It emits a powerful burst of light said to be able to destroy stellar objects as large as stars. It is unknown why a cargo ship like the Dolphin would have this weapon, however, it is assumed that its purpose is as a means of defense against space pirates. The brochure of the Nova Blaster says that the blasts could travel through the currents in space.
=== In ''Pikmin 4'' ===
Ascend the hill near the Meandering Slope landing site and throw Pikmin to lower the bridge over the valley. Cross the bridge and use [[Moss]]' [[rush]] or a [[bomb rock]] to break a barricade of [[jar]]s to the left. Past a [[Puffy Blowhog]] is an [[Arachnode]] that is keeping the Nova Blaster in its web. Kill the Blowhog to prevent it from disrupting your Pikmin, then kill the Arachnode to recover the part.

Simple enough, destroy the [[Gate|stone wall]] next to the landing area with [[Bomb Rock]]s. Defeat the [[Dwarf Red Bulborb|Dwarf Bulborbs]] and a [[Red Bulborb]]. Destroy the black gate or go through a small opening in the tree stump's root. Continue down the path, beating more [[Grub-dog|Bulborbs]]. It is at the end, next to a rusted open tin can.

This emits a dazzling burst of light capable of destroying almost anything! I'm not exactly sure about this, but the promotional brochure claims that its blasts can travel in the currents of space-time, smashing through stars and into the rifts of space."

{{The Forest of Hope}}
*It is possible that the space pirates that Olimar mentions might be the same space pirates that Samus Aran faces off in Metroid: Prime, although it might be coincidental.
