The '''Gluon Drive''' ({{j|グルーオンドライブ|Gurūon Doraibu|Gluon Drive}}) is one of the ship parts in [[The Distant Spring]] | The '''Gluon Drive''' ({{j|グルーオンドライブ|Gurūon Doraibu|Gluon Drive}}) is one of the ship parts in [[The Distant Spring]], and it is the heaviest ship part in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. The Gluon Drive harnesses the power of quark-binding metaphysical gluons. While Olimar doesn't know how it truly works, noting that it's "very scientific," it makes the [[S.S. Dolphin]] lift off with a roar. When collected, the Gluon Drive makes up the top part of the hull, with the large rectangular hole in the center being where the cockpit goes. | ||

It is found near two [[bridge]]s, one near the part and the other one on the opposite side. Build both and defeat the [[Shearwig]]s found near the part.

As this is the heaviest part in the game, make sure all the [[Spotty Bulbear]]s and the [[Puffy Blowhog]] have been defeated to ensure the safety of the Pikmin. It takes 50 Pikmin to lift. | ||
It is possible to retrieve this ship part without building both bridges. You can build just the bridge on the Gluon Drive's side, let some Pikmin carry it until the end of the bridge, and whistle them back, so the part stays on the tip of the bridge. Then, have Pikmin carry one of the Shearwig corpses behind the Gluon Drive. On their way, they'll bump against it and push it into the water, where it can be retrieved like normal.{{cite youtube|Vxm9gstxU24|where the Gluon Drive is recovered with only one of the two bridges built}} | It is possible to retrieve this ship part without building both bridges.
