The '''Hocotate ship''' ({{j|ドルフィン初号機|Dorufin Shogou Ki|S.S. Dolphin first model}}) (usually called simply '''the ship''') refers to [[Hocotate Freight]]'s company ship in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is an old ship, being part of Hocotate Freight since its very beginnings. Unlike the [[S.S. Dolphin]], the Hocotate 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 quirky known in his [[Olimar's journal|journal]]. It sports two cockpits and a detachable pod, where its speaker is located.

=== History ===
The Hocotate ship can store [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and treasures, and, after those colors have been found, it'll house both [[White Pikmin]] and [[Purple Pikmin]]. Unlike the Dolphin, the [[Captain]]s cannot check how many treasures have been collected using it nor can they 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.
This old Hocotate Freight ship was used when Hocotate Freight first opened.{{cite quote|A battered old spaceship used when Hocotate Freight first opened. Its appraisal gauge analyzed garbage Olimar brought home and found it to be valuable. With his new ship sold off to pay company debts, Louie and Olimar flew this one back to the Pikmin world to find more treasure. The ship's removable research pod accompanied the adventurers when they ventured underground.|trophy description|''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''}}. The ship has some visible dirt and rust damage on its hull, indicating it has been in use for quite some time; Olimar even talks about how it has many holes all over it. Olimar also mentions it once used to be a "top-of-the-line vessel", hinting that the Hocotate ship's design was mass-produced, before being taken off the market. According to the Japanese website for ''Pikmin 2'', the ship retired a few years before the events of the game took place. It wasn't sold due to it appearing to be nothing but junk, but it actually surpasses the capabilities of recent ships due to years of experience.
 
When Olimar returns from the Distant Planet, his ship is sold off, and the Hocotate Ship declares a souvenir Olimar brought back to be highly valuable. The President sends Olimar and Louie back to the planet to get more treasure, using the Ship as transportation. The Ship guides them throughout their journey, making use of Olimar's voyage log from the previous game according to the Japanese Website, although it seems not all the data could be recovered. The ship also uses various junk the President sent with his employees to create the [[Exploration Kit]]. After the debt is paid off, it gains a golden hull and is seemingly given a tune up, as it produces less noise when nearby.
 
{{Spoiler|Pikmin 3's late game}}
[[File:Hocotate Ship P3 closeup.jpg|thumb|Closeup of the wrecked ship in ''Pikmin 3''.]]
In ''Pikmin 3'', the ship makes a small appearance in the [[Garden of Hope]], just outside where the Quaggled Mireclops is fought. It is out-of-bounds, but it can be reached by throwing leaders on a split log, then throwing a leader onto the ledge. It is heavily damaged, stuck to the ground, and missing its golden paint job. The Koppaite leaders assume that this was the Quaggled Mireclops' doing.{{cite quote|And I suppose that fuselage we saw must have been the remains of Olimar and Louie's ship. Seems like that huge monster really did a number on it, though...|Alph|[[check in]] conversation}} In a nearby [[data file]], Olimar mentions that the ship was once a top-of-the-line product, but he now dislikes it. The reason for that is a bit vague, since the data file changes between [[region]]s. In the US version, he claims the ship is an insult to his piloting{{cite quote|Curse that Hocotate ship. It may once have been a top-of-the-line vessel, but it's now an insult to my piloting. I can't wait to pay off that debt and get back in my beloved S.S. Dolphin. But that means I need to find something really valuable before I return home...|Captain Olimar|Journal Entry #1 in the US version}}, but in the European version, claims the ship actively criticizes his piloting skills.{{cite quote|Curse this stupid ship! It may once have been a top-of-the-line vessel, but the way it criticises my piloting skills really gets on my nerves. I can't wait to get my beloved old SS Dolphin back! I need to find plenty of valuable treasure and pay that debt off as soon as possible!|Captain Olimar|Olimar's diary #1 in the European version}}
 
After Olimar is rescued by the Koppaites, he is soon sent back to [[PNF-404]] to recover the Hocotate Ship alongside Louie. They find it in the Garden of Hope, and begin collecting its scattered parts. These parts include the [[Main Engine]], [[Chronos Reactor]], [[Repair-type Bolt]], [[Analog Computer]], and [[Nova Blaster]]. After the repairs, Olimar and Louie return to Hocotate, with the Pikmin watching the Hocotate Ship fly away.
 
The Ship is not seen or mentioned directly in ''Pikmin 4'', although Schnauz recites various sales pitches from ''Pikmin 2'', and says he has heard the pitch for the Cupid's Grenade somewhere before. It is said that a popular treasure naming AI was co-authored by a famous treasure appraiser, likely being Schnauz. Schnauz also says the Citrus Lump's shape reminds him of a colleague, and as Olimar says it resembles the President's head in ''Pikmin 2'', it can be inferred that Schnauz and the President authored the Hocotate Ship's naming AI together.
 
=== Personality ===
The Hocotate ship is highly greedy and quirky. Sometimes, it makes up lies about [[treasure]]s in its [[sales pitch]]es, solely to entice buyers to make money. The Hocotate ship also has an extreme hatred for bugs, which Olimar mentions multiple times in his notes,{{cite quote|{{notes:The Key/journal}}|Captain Olimar|his notes for [[The Key]]}}, as a pun on programming bugs. The Ship seems to show mild intrigue in PNF-404, telling Olimar to document the White Pikmin for "future generations", and becoming entranced by the wild Blue Pikmin.
 
The Hocotate ship also laments how it is a machine that cannot do any organic bodily functions{{cite quote|You are both drooling... I wish, just once, I could feel what it is like to drool.|Hocotate ship|the last line of its monolog for the [[Glutton's Kitchen]]}} and that it lacks friends.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Explorer's Friend Series/series}}|Hocotate ship|its announcement for the [[Explorer's Friend Series]]}} Regardless, the ship will often attempt to criticize Olimar on failing to do his duty properly, such as calling him when he has not attempted to use Louie on [[day]] 3{{cite quote|This is the first time you have heard this? Olimar! Remember to properly train new employees!|Hocotate ship|day 3 in {{p2}} when the player has not attempted to play as Louie for some time}} or pointing out flaws in his argument that the [[Universal Com]] is actually a monitor.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Universal Com/journal}}|Captain Olimar|his notes for the Universal Com}}

The Hocotate ship can store [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and treasures, and will house both [[White Pikmin]] and [[Purple Pikmin]] once they are found. Unlike the [[S.S. Dolphin]], the [[leader]]s cannot check how many treasures have been collected using it, nor can they restore their suit's [[Health|damage meter]], though it is stated in [[Olimar's notes]] for the [[Toxic Toadstool]] that the ship's reactor can power [[Olimar]]'s and [[Louie]]'s life support systems indefinitely, explaining the lack of a 30-day-timelimit that was present in the [[Pikmin (game)|previous game]]. Standing in the green light and pressing {{button|gc|a|wii|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 [[PNF-404]]. The ship can dispatch a Research Pod for traveling underground.

== Research Pod ==
[[File:Research Pod P2 art.png|thumb|The Research Pod.]]
[[File:A ship pOd.png|thumb|The Research Pod.]]
When the leaders go into a [[cave]], the ship dispatches its nose cone, known as the '''Research Pod''', and sends it down to support them. Anything that the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] pick up will be carried to the Pod and stored in its hull until the player leaves the cave. On leaving a cave via a [[geyser]], the treasure worth of these is added to the total.
When underground in [[cave]]s, the [[Hocotate Ship]] dispatches its nose cone, known as the '''Research Pod''', and sends it down to support [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]]/[[the President]] on their underground expedition. Anything that the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] pick up will be carried to the Pod and stored in its hull until the player exits the cavern. On leaving a cave via a [[geyser]], the treasure worth of these is added to the total.


If the player chooses to leave by selecting the option in the [[pause menu]], the Pod will dispose all [[Treasure|treasures]] and [[Enemy|creatures]] that were collected and return to the surface with the leaders and Pikmin. This will happen automatically if all Pikmin on the sublevel die or both leaders are down, and cannot be stopped without resetting the game. The discarded treasures will be returned to the sublevels they were found in.
If the player chooses to leave by selecting the option in the pause menu, the Pod will dispose of all [[Treasure Hoard|treasures]] and [[Piklopedia|creatures]] that were collected and return to the surface with the captains and Pikmin. This also happens automatically if all Pikmin die or both captains suffer too much damage, and cannot be stopped without resetting the game. The discarded treasures will be returned to the [[sublevel]]s they were found in.


After the player pays off the debt and the ship is upgraded, a scratching noise can sometimes be heard when near the equally-upgraded research pod.

{{for|info about the ship in the "End of Day" Final Smash|Day#In the Super Smash Bros. series|t1=End of Day}}
The ship appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. During the beginning of a match, Olimar enters the stage in the ship and jumps out to [[pluck]] three Pikmin. When Olimar uses his Final Smash, "[[End of Day]]", he hops in the ship while [[Bulborb]]s cause damage to his opponents. Olimar then crashes down back on the stage, sometimes further harming his opponents. In the ''Subspace Emissary'', the ship appears in the "Outside the Ancient Ruins" stage, stuck in the background, indicating how Olimar got to the island. It somehow got off the island by itself, as Olimar is seen piloting the ship alongside a number of other airborne vehicles while entering Subspace. In the ''Great Maze'' section of the Emissary, it appears in the background as part of the level's scenery, although this ship is an illusion created by Tabuu. The ship also appears as a trophy and a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]].

A partner of the president since the establishment of Hocotate Freight. Although it had worked hard for a long time, it retired from working and has been lying in a warehouse for the past few years. The reason for its retirement is that new high-performance cargo ships were introduced one after another as the company expanded its scale, but its navigational ability, backed by its experience, is rather superior to the latest models. The truth is, apparently, that it was made into the president's conversation partner. In the current business crisis, which has brought about a lot of debt, it was fortunate to remain unsold due to looking like a piece of junk. With the input of the shipwreck records brought back by Olimar, it will be providing support for the exploration.

==Naming==

===Official name and naming errors===
[[Image:SMG The Ship.png|thumb|200px|''Super Mario Galaxy'''s version of The Ship.]]
The official name of this ship is quite the conundrum. While simply called "the ship",{{cite quote|{{Notes:Insect Condo/journal}}|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's journal]] for the [[Insect Condo]]}} "my ship",{{cite quote|{{Notes:Diet Doomer/journal}}|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's journal]] for the [[Diet Doomer]]}} "our ship"{{cite quote|{{Notes:Toxic Toadstool/journal}}|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's journal]] for the [[Toxic Toadstool]]}} or "the Hocotate ship"{{cite quote|Curse that Hocotate ship. It may once have been a top-of-the-line vessel, but it's now an insult to my piloting. I can't wait to pay off that debt and get back in my beloved S.S. Dolphin. But that means I need to find something really valuable before I return home...|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)|his log]] in the American version of ''[[Pikmin 3]]''}}{{cite quote|We found the Hocotate ship! Well...part of it. It looks like the ship suffered severe damage and its pieces were scattered here and there. This all feels very familiar, but there's no time to wallow in nostalgia. We have to recover those parts and get them back to base before the indigenous life on this planet does who-knows-what with them.|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's Comeback]]}} in the English versions of {{p2}} and {{p3}}, in the Japanese games the ship is in fact referred to as "S.S. Dolphin first model". Since the [[S.S. Dolphin|original S.S. Dolphin]] ({{j|ドルフィン号|Dorufin gou}}) and this ship ({{j|ドルフィン初号機|Dorufin shogou ki}}) both have "Dolphin" in their Japanese name, a number of errors arise. Possibly attributed to different translators unfamiliar with ''Pikmin'' or simple oversights, the Hocotate ship is sometimes called "the S.S. Dolphin" when it should be "the Hocotate ship" or "the ship".
''[[Mario:Super Mario Galaxy|Super Mario Galaxy]]'' has a planetoid shaped very similarly to the the Hocotate Ship located in the "[[Mario:Space Junk Galaxy|Space Junk Galaxy]]". It is likewise a red, rusted color.


For example, in the ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'' trophy, it's stated that Olimar boards "the S.S. Dolphin" for his Final Smash, however he is in fact boarding the Hocotate ship. This mistake is not present in the Japanese version.
The ship also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. During the beginning of a match, Olimar enters the stage in the ship and jumps out to pluck three Pikmin. When Olimar uses his Final Smash, "[[End of Day]]", he hops in the Ship while [[Bulborb]]s cause damage to his opponents. Olimar then crashes down back on the stage, sometimes further harming his opponents. In the ''Subspace Emissary'', Olimar's ship is seen along with a number of other airborne vehicles in the attempt to enter Subspace as well as the beginning of the level Outside the Ruins. In the ''Great Maze'' section of the Emissary, it appears in the background as part of the level's scenery. The ship also appears as a trophy and a sticker.
 
An interesting possible oversight is found in ''Pikmin 3'': in the [[Secret File]]s Olimar states that he is the captain of the S.S. Dolphin ({{j|ドルフィン号|Dorufin gou}}) &ndash; normally players would assume that he is talking about the original S.S. Dolphin from the first game, however knowing this information it becomes apparent that he could in fact be talking about this ship. This explains why in Louie's secret file he presents himself as a crew member of the S.S. Dolphin. It makes more sense to assume that Olimar is talking about being captain of the Dolphin he is currently piloting and not the one that was sold and is no longer his, and for Louie to consider himself a crew member of the only Dolphin he has boarded. However if this is true, ''Pikmin 3'' would be the first time the Hocotate ship is referred to as "S.S. Dolphin" by the characters, mainly Olimar.
 
There are other times when the ship is referred to in ''Pikmin 2'', but none of those end up giving it a proper name. In the manual, it is referred to as "the old ship",{{cite quote|When I told him about the fate of his ship, he dropped the curious souvenir he was holding. The old ship's sensors went wild!|the President|the backstory, on the instruction manual of ''Pikmin 2''}} "your ship",{{cite quote|There are no purple or white Onions. These Pikmin are housed inside your ship.|the instruction manual|''Pikmin 2''}} "the ship",{{cite quote|To order your Pikmin to carry a treasure back to the ship, throw your Pikmin at it or command them to move into it with the C Stick.|the instruction manual|''Pikmin 2''}} etc. In the [[pause menu]] in ''Pikmin 2'', the numbers of stored [[White Pikmin|White]] and [[Purple Pikmin]] are listed in a section called "Rocket". In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a non-[[canon]] game, the trophy for the rocket calls it "Hocotate Ship", although the "S" is uppercase.
 
Other names given include:
* Hocotate Freight ship: Mentioned in the intro cutscene for [[Olimar's Comeback]].
* In the Italian version of [[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]], the ship is referred as "The Dolphin Prototype" in [[Olimar's Comeback]], reflecting it's Japanese name.
 
Because of how hard it is to know the ship's canon name, most fans call the ship "Hocotate ship", "Hocotate Freight ship", or "the ship", depending on the game, the version, and their own preferences.
 
===Internal and prototype names===
The ship is identified as "Dolphin 1" in the prototype version of ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} script.{{cite web|quote=According to my research, this is an acoustic-interference motherboard. I should install this on the Dolphin 1. It might shut him up for a while. Then again, if it learned to override the hardware, it could become more annoying than ever!|http://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Treasure_Hoard_Entries#091_-_Network_Mainbrain|Proto:Pikmin 2/Treasure Hoard Entries|The Cutting Room Floor}} Similarly, its internal name in ''[[Day#In Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'s}} files is <code>Dolfin</code>. The internal name inside ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} files is <code>ufo</code>.
 
===Other names===
As a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the vessel is referred to as "Olimar and Louie's Ship". In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'', the ship is made into an item, but is called "Hocotate Bomb" instead. This is naturally just the name of the item itself, and not the ship in the ''Pikmin'' games.

== Trivia ==
{{featured|29th August, 2008|10th October, 2008}}
*The trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' lists ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' as one of the games the ship appeared in, which is [[Mistake|incorrect]] – it made its debut in {{P2}}.
*The passenger cockpit in the golden version of the Hocotate ship has a sofa and a television for the President. This can be barely seen by manipulating the [[camera]]. That said, its screen pulsates between a dark shade and a strong cyan, but this effect cannot be seen from the glass due to the way the game is rendered. By moving the camera inside, for instance, with an emulator, one can see the pulsating effect in action.
