Dolphin is sold to help pay the [[Hocotate Freight|Hocotate Freight company]]'s enormous debt. It's then replaced by the [[Hocotate ship]]. In {{p3}}, there is no appearance of the S.S. Dolphin. However, there is a reference to the Dolphin in a [[data file]]. If the player visits the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] arena in the [[Garden of Hope]], they can find a data file that in which [[Captain Olimar]] gets upset with the [[Hocotate ship]] and wishes to buy back the S.S. Dolphin once the new debt is paid. | ||

This cannot be done after the [[sunset]] warning timer reaches the number 4. | |||
