The '''Bowsprit''' ({{j|バウスプリット|Bausupuritto|Bowsprit}}) is a ship part in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}. It is the "face" of the [[S.S. Dolphin]], designed by [[Captain Olimar]], and gives the Dolphin its sleek shape. In ''Pikmin'', it can be found inside the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] in the central tree stump of [[The Distant Spring]].

Once recovered, it is installed on its rightful place, as the nose of the Dolphin.

==Collecting the part==
{{guide}}

===In ''Pikmin''===
{{location map | width = 350 | height = 595 | image = DS texture.png | bg = #111 | caption = Location of the Bowsprit. | icons =
{{map icon | Bowsprit | 169 | 241}}

Getting it requires many steps. First, defeat all [[Bulbear]]s and [[Puffy Blowhog]]s that will be in the way back to the ship. There are two paths to get to it: either cross the fire [[geyser]]s near the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] or take the safe route near the landing site by building the [[twig]] and unplugging the geyser. Then defeat the Beetle and retrieve the part. Build the [[bridge]] and destroy the [[gate]] so [[Red Pikmin]] can carry it back to the Dolphin, defeating the [[Shearwig]]s along the way.

===In ''Pikmin 4''===
The Bowsprit is located directly east from the Water's Edge landing site in the [[Serene Shores]], near the edge of the map. You will need [[Moss]]' swimming ability to reach the part and then 30 [[Blue Pikmin]] to carry it. Make sure to defeat the enemies and clear the obstacles that are in the way so the Pikmin can carry it safely back to base.

==Trivia==
*The antenna of the Bowsprit is only partially attached when not on the S.S. Dolphin.
*A bowsprit in real life is a pole that extends forward of a ship from the prow of the vessel.
