The Ship

The ship is the common name for Olimar's new rocket in Pikmin 2. It is not named in-game, so it is simply referred to as "the ship"; all that is known is that Olimar sometimes refers to the ship as a "he". In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it has also been called the "Hocotate Ship". Unlike the S. S. Dolphin, the ship is capable of speech, (replacing most of Olimar's in game speech), and takes on the role of giving advice throughout the game. Olimar makes his opinion of its personality being pompous and smart-alec known in his notes. Once the President's debt is repaid, the ship is upgraded into a sleeker, golden model.

The ship can store Pikmin, and does so, storing both White Pikmin and Purple Pikmin. Unlike the Dolphin, the Captains cannot check how many treasures have been collected using it nor restore their suit's damage meter. Standing in the green light and pressing A before Purple Pikmin have been found does nothing. The ship has two cockpits, and is capable of deep space communication, sending a report each night to Hocotate and receiving mail. To do this it must be in orbit around the Pikmin Planet. The ship can dispatch a Research Pod for traveling underground.

-'''Scales''' are found in pairs or, in one case, a set of four, only in [[Pikmin 2]] and only above ground.  One of the blocks is low enough to walk onto, the other higher but still low enough that [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be thrown onto them, and their purpose is to provide access to higher ground.  To manipulate them, throw Pikmin onto the higher of the two.  On whichever block the weight of Pikmin (displayed above the block) is greater, that falls to become the lower block.

-To use the scales, stand on the lower one and throw more than half of the Pikmin with you onto the higher block, at which point the [[Captain]] and Pikmin left with him will raise up, allowing them to walk onto the ledge above.  The Pikmin Captains apparently weigh nothing, or at least have negligible weight.  Unfortunately, this means some Pikmin must be left behind, leaving you with fewer up the top and the chance of forgetting where the others are.  Fortunately, there are a number of ways to get around this.
