The '''Main Engine''' of the [[S.S. Dolphin|Dolphin's]] is the only part found on the first day in ''[[Pikmin 1|Pikmin]]'', so that [[Captain Olimar]] is able at least to lift off from the [[The Impact Site|crash site]] to escape the planet's nocturnal [[Enemy reel|beasts]]. He is able to transport this part with the help of the [[Red Pikmin|Pikmin]] he discovers upon landing on the [[Pikmin Planet|planet]].  With the Main Engine restored to the S.S. Dolphin, Olimar is able to continue on to [[The Forest of Hope]] to find more of his thirty lost ship parts. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the [[Dream Den]] replaces this part's location.

The first day consists of the main tutorial about the [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. Once Olimar gets the first Pikmin, start collecting all the [[Pellet]]s, including the ones on the two small stumps. Once Olimar has 10 or more Pikmin, command them to move the [[cardboard box]]. Once the box is out of the way Olimar will find the engine. Head up the rocks where the box made a ramp and get all of the Pellets until Olimar has 20-25 Pikmin. Now the Pikmin can pick up the most important part of the [[S.S. Dolphin]].
