The '''S.S. Dolphin''' is the personal delivery ship that belongs to [[Captain Olimar]] in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]]. It is wrecked when it collides with a comet during a flight to a vacation spot and 30 of its pieces are scattered and land within five [[areas]] of the [[Pikmin Planet]]; ''Pikmin'' involves the collection of these using creatures called [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. When Olimar returns to [[Hocotate]] with a fixed ship at the start of ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the S.S. Dolphin is sold to help pay the [[Hocotate Freight|Hocotate Freight company]]'s enormous debt.

==Trivia==
*The S.S. Dolphin's name is a reference to the GameCube's development codename, the Dolphin.
*The two lights on the front of the ship change colors with the amount of progress Olimar has made in repairing it. The lights are off when he first crashes at the [[Impact Site]]. They are red when the [[Forest of Hope]] is accessible, yellow when [[The Forest Navel]] is accessible, green for [[The Distant Spring]], blue for [[The Final Trial]] and purple when the [[Secret Safe]] is returned.
*The S.S. Dolphin makes a [[Pikmin in other games|cameo]] in ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: City Folk|Animal Crossing: City Folk]]'' as a piece of furniture distributed by [[Nintendo]] from July 20 to August 3 to celebrate the Apollo moon landing.
*When viewed from above, the nose of the ship looks like a [[Bulbapedia:Poké Ball|Poké Ball]].
*The S.S. Dolphin may have a personality of its own, as Olimar's notes on the [[Analog Computer]] state that the Dolphin is quick to anger.
