The '''Pilot's Seat''' ({{j|パイロットのいす|Pairotto No Isu|Pilot's Chair}}) is a [[ship part]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. The Pilot's Seat will make the [[S.S. Dolphin|Dolphin]]'s cockpit complete when [[Olimar]] installs it. It is actually a cushion for comfort, but despite that, it is still a mandatory part.

The Pilot's Seat reappears as a ship part in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}. It is found inside a safe in the [[Hero's Hideaway]].

Once installed, the ship part is not visible on the S.S. Dolphin.

==Collecting the part==

This piece is located on a stump, the one to the farther left. Defeat any [[Bulbear]]s and [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s that may be an annoyance. Defeating the [[Shearwig]]s and [[Yellow Wollywog]]s in the area will also be helpful. Assuming they take the eastern path back to the Dolphin, [[Blue Pikmin]] will carry the part through a shortcut in the water, thus avoiding the three sleeping Bulbears on the way. It is where the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] is located in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

[[Moss]] is recommended for recovering this part. Dig a tunnel to the kitchen countertop in the western part of the area. From there, go past the sink on the right (or swim over it with Moss). Break down the [[electric gate]] and proceed left. A hovering platform will take you to an open safe containing the Pilot's Seat.

Unfortunately there is also a [[Miniature Snootwhacker]] near the safe, which should preferably be killed by a [[rush]] followed by Pikmin attacks. If you did not bring Moss here, use an item such as a [[bomb rock]] or [[Ice Blast]] to either kill the enemy or stun it while your Pikmin carry the part; an Ice Blast is hidden in an alcove on the desk you came from. As a last resort, you can try to distract the Miniature Snootwhacker with Olimar.

Incidentally, the safe containing the part is the same one which Olimar uses as a bunker in the main story, hiding the entrance to [[Leafy Showdown]] inside.
