"''My name is <span style="color:red">Captain Olimar</span>. While traveling through space, my ship was struck by a meteor... I must have blacked out, and I awoke on the surface of a <span style="color:green">weird planet</span>. With so many <span style="color:green">parts</span> lost, the skeletal hull of my beloved <span style="color:green>Dolphin</span> is a painful sight. The <span style="color: #aa0;">engine</span> is gone... I'm stranded.''

''Here I am, stranded on a toxic planet, fighting to survive, and yet I'm intrigued... I must research this fascinating creature! I shall try to grab it and throw it with '''A''', and I will call it to my side with '''B'''. Hmmm... Perhaps it will react to '''C''' and '''X''' as well.''

===Ship status===
===Ship status===
"''I have recovered <span style="color:red">_/30 ship parts</span>. Just <span style="color:red">_ more parts</span> will increase the Dolphin's capabilities!''"
Note: The game is programmed to check if Olimar has more than 1 part, in which case it'll write "parts" instead of "part". However, this message only appears on the first day, so the check is unused. In the first day, the only way to check the ship is when it has 0 part'''s'''. After collecting the Main Engine, the day automatically ends, and the player can never check the ship again; hence, the game can never write "part", only "parts". Also, in the following days, a [[#Ship status/repair suit|similar monolog]] is uttered instead.
 
"''I have recovered <span style="color:red">_/30 ship parts</span>. Just <span style="color:red">1 more part</span> will increase the Dolphin's capabilities!''"
 
==Ship parts==
For each ship part, there are two monologs: one when the part is first encountered, and the second when it is returned to the [[S.S. Dolphin]].

''"At long last... I've found the final part... My Secret Safe! And it's as full as ever! How glad I am that I persisted in my search without losing hope... Now I can leave this planet without any regrets. Maybe I'll even stop and pick up some souvenirs for my wife and kids back on Planet Hocotate!"''

This message was found within the game's ROM but doesn't show up in-game: when the last ship part is collected or day 30 ends, [[Olimar]] makes a short statement about his return, and never says anything again.
