Ship parts are the main items that need to be recovered in Pikmin. They are fragments of the ship used by Captain Olimar, the S.S. Dolphin. After colliding with a comet, the ship lost most of its parts, which are needed to leave the planet. Scattered around the areas in the game, they must be successfully retrieved back into the ship in order to repair it.
The parts are usually placed in such a manner that some form of challenge must be overcome in order to access them. Some are found on high ledges, some are behind walls, others again are inside enemies, most commonly bosses.
After a certain number of parts are recovered, the ship's stability will increase, and the player will be able to access a new area. There are a total of 30 ship parts, but only 25 of them are mandatory in order to leave the planet. Should the player collect all parts, they will be awarded with the best ending. If after 30 days, all mandatory ship parts are collected, the normal ending will be shown. If, however, the player fails to recover all mandatory ship parts after 30 days, they will receive the bad ending.
Every time a ship part is recollected, the action stops, and a cutscene takes place showing the part being beamed into the Dolphin. Around half of the ship parts just disappear, but others will actually cause some sparkle particles to come out, and pop up on their correct place. Once installed, the ship part remains visible on the Dolphin for the rest of the game.

In Pikmin 3 Deluxe
While the concept of collect ship parts has been absent from Pikmin since the first game, Pikmin 3 Deluxe reintroduces the idea in the new Side Story mode.
In Olimar's Comeback, The President sends Olimar and Louie back to PNF-404 to repair the Hocotate Ship after they had abandoned it. Collecting ship parts is slightly different in this version, however. In First Part Found and Another Part Found, the player must clear a path for the Pikmin to transport the ship part to the SPERO before time runs out. In The Ship Restored, the player must instead find multiple ship parts and return them to the SPERO.
Despite the Hocotate Ship being far different in design from the S.S. Dolphin, many of their ship parts are near identical. Those being:
