'''Fragment of Hope''' ({{j|きぼうの かけら|Kibō no Kakera|Fragment of Hope}}) is the final [[area]] in {{hp}}, and the only area in the final [[sector]], [[The Final Stretch]]. In order to access this area, the player must have gathered at least {{sparklium|30,000}} and have completed [[The Last Lair]]. [[Captain Olimar]]'s purpose in this area is to find the missing ship piece, since without it, he cannot escape the planet. In his search, he finds a massive creature, the [[Berserk Leech Hydroe]]. This is the final [[boss]] of the game, and its defeat makes it drop the piece Olimar was after, and triggers the game's [[Hey! Pikmin#Ending|ending cutscene]]s.

Olimar's plan is to gather at least {{sparklium|30,000}} to power up the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] completely and lift off. If [[The Last Lair]] is completed before this goal is met, the ship will tell Olimar to return to previous areas and collect more [[treasure]]. If the milestone is reached before The Last Lair is completed, the ship will try to scan its own, status, realize that an important component is missing &ndash; the [[Sparklium Converter]] &ndash; and suggests that Olimar explore more. If it happens after the area's completion, the ship will scan around and realize that the important piece is held by a massive beast in the new sector, [[The Final Stretch]].

| The creature falls down from the sky and starts glowing. After some seconds, the main stalk gets back up, and some of its paws also try to raise the body, and the creature lets out a growl before the stalk starts to wither and die, followed by the beast's entire body. The carcass starts to shrink and melt, and some bumps start to protrude from inside. Eventually, one of the bumps breaks open, and the [[Leech Hydroe]] pokes out, colored pink. Four Red Pikmin are celebrating the battle's victory, with Olimar looking at them and facing away from the Leech Hydroe. The creature notices the Pikmin at the same time they notice it, and their reaction causes Olimar to turn around and notice the being himself. The Leech Hydroe jumps from its mound onto the floor, and as the group notices the jump, they start running in the opposite direction. The creature lands with a thud and a roll, and drops the important ship part it was holding in the process, which lands in front of Olimar. Him and the Pikmin stop, and Olimar slowly approaches the piece. He leaves the Pikmin to look after the object, and turns around to face the toppled Leech Hydroe. Just as he does, the creature shrinks around to Olimar's size and turns to its normal green color. It gets up, notices Olimar, jumps a bit away, and slowly starts walking away from the captain. Curious, Olimar starts walking in its direction, which startles it and causes it to run off in a panic. Confused, Olimar returns to the Pikmin and notices that they are just resting in place. He sighs, and with a final "Hey!", he blows his [[whistle]] and calls the Pikmin's attention for his victory dance, right before the S.S. Dolphin II's pod beams them all up.
