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]]. It is the heaviest ship part in {{p1}} ([[Secret Safe|second heaviest]] in all Japanese versions of the GameCube and Wii editions).
The '''Gluon Drive''' is one of the 10 rocket parts found in [[The Distant Spring]], and it is the heaviest ship part in the game. The Gluon Drive uses quark-binding metaphysical gluons and is very scientific but makes the [[S.S. Dolphin]] lift off with a roar.


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.

''"I've found the Gluon Drive!''
''Using the quark-binding metaphysical properties of gluons, this device... Well, it's...very scientific, and I don't fully understand it myself, but it was very expensive..."''
===Ship Log===
''"I have no idea how this works, but it means the Dolphin will again lift off with its characteristic roar!"''

[[Image:Gdrive.jpg|thumb|left|The Gluon Drive, being carried by [[Blue Pikmin]].]]It is found near two bridges, one near the part and the other one on the opposite side. Build both and defeat the [[Shearwig]]s found near the part.The second bridge requires Blue Pikmin to be built, as you must cross water to reach it, and they can be used to defeat the Wollywog wandering there. As this is the heaviest part in the game, make sure all the Bulbears and the [[Puffy Blowhog]] have been defeated to ensure the Pikmin's safety. It takes 50 Pikmin to lift.  {{clear}}

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. The second bridge requires [[Blue Pikmin]] to be built, as you must cross water to reach it, and they can be used to defeat the [[Yellow Wollywog]] wandering there. As this is one of the heaviest parts 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}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In real life, {{w|gluon}}s are the theoretical forces responsible for holding quarks together. They bind them like glue - hence the name - allowing them to bond into protons and neutrons.
*In real life, [[Wikipedia:Gluon|gluons]] are the theoretical particles responsible for the strong nuclear force. They hold quarks, elementary particles, together like glue, hence the name.
*In international [[region|versions]] of {{p1}}, as well as all versions of the [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Switch port]], the Gluon Drive is the heaviest part in the game, requiring 50 Pikmin to carry. In all Japanese versions of the GameCube and [[New Play Control! Pikmin|Wii ports]], however, the [[Secret Safe]] outweighs it, requiring 85 Pikmin.
