It is wrecked when it collides with a comet during a flight on a vacation, and thirty of its pieces end up scattered around the five [[areas]] of [[PNF-404]]; ''Pikmin'' involves the collection of these using the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. The S.S. Dolphin is the ship used to fly to the atmosphere between [[day]]s in this game. | ||
When Olimar returns to [[Hocotate]] with a | When Olimar returns to [[Hocotate]] with a repaired ship at the start of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the S.S. Dolphin is sold to help pay the [[Hocotate Freight|Hocotate Freight company]]'s enormous debt. It is then replaced by the [[Hocotate ship]]. In {{p3}}, there is no appearance of the S.S. Dolphin. However, if the player visits the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] arena in the [[Garden of Hope]], they can find a [[data file]] that in which [[Captain Olimar]] complains about the Hocotate ship and wishes to buy back the S.S. Dolphin once the new debt is repaid. | ||
In {{p4}}, the Dolphin serves the same basic role as its appearance in ''Pikmin'', being the ship that Olimar must repair by gathering parts after he crashes onto PNF-404. He fails to escape the planet, crashing the ship once again in the [[Rescue Command Post]] and becoming a [[leafling]]. However, the [[Rescue Corps]] later cures Olimar of his leafling status and helps him repair the Dolphin so that he can return home. | |||
In ''Pikmin'', if the player presses {{button|gc|a|wii|a}} while Olimar is on top of the ship's ring of light, his [[spacesuit]]'s [[health]] will be fully replenished, and he will comment on the number of parts he has left to recover. This cannot be done after the [[sunset]] warning timer reaches the number 4. | In ''Pikmin'', if the player presses {{button|gc|a|wii|a}} while Olimar is on top of the ship's ring of light, his [[spacesuit]]'s [[health]] will be fully replenished, and he will comment on the number of parts he has left to recover.

The ship has thirty named parts that are scattered around PNF-404 at the beginning of {{p1}} and [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}. In both stories, they are scattered around all areas and their retrieval is necessary in order to complete the game. Five of the parts are optional in ''Pikmin'', but all are needed in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale. In Olimar's Shipwreck Tale, 16 of the 30 parts are duplicates of the [[Extraordinary Bolt]], [[Repair-Type Bolt]] or [[Automatic Gear]]. | |||
