''"Treasure! Treasure! Treasure! Money! Money! Money!"'' — The Ship's Research Pod | |||

| | |||
The '''Hocotate ship''' | The '''[[Hocotate]] ship''' (usually called simply the '''ship''') refers to Olimar's new rocket in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. 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 notes|notes]]. Once the [[President]]'s debt is repaid, the ship is upgraded in appearance. | ||
== | == Capabilities == | ||
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. | |||

When | 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 | 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. | ||

==Sales Pitch== | |||
When one complete "series" of treasures has been collected, the ship's '''[[Sales Pitch]]es''' become available. This is an advertisement for the treasure as if it were a product. | |||
Example: | |||
[[ | ;[[Superstick Textile]]:''The latest must-have item for all ship emergency-repair kits, this miracle fabric is a lifesaver! Its adhesive power is so great, once it's applied, it can never be removed... not even surgically!'' | ||
==Cameo appearances== | |||
[[Image:SMG The Ship.png|thumb|200px|''Super Mario Galaxy'''s version of 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. | |||
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. | |||
