'''Assemble All''' is a mechanic introduced in {{p3d}}. Approaching the S.S. Drake and pressing {{button|switch|a}} will sound a large [[whistle]] and call all stray [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] back to the landing site. Any Pikmin that were performing a task will drop it, and all Pikmin run back at the same speed, which is slightly faster than that of a leader. This feature becomes available when the first sunset of Story Mode happens. | '''Assemble All''' is a mechanic introduced in {{p3d}}. Approaching the S.S.

This name seems to have been picked by the developers for a few reasons. At one point [[Pikmin 3 prerelease information|during production]], there were four main [[leader]]s, and their names had not yet been decided. They were given the placeholder names "A", "B", "C" and "D". The first three later ended up being the three Koppaite explorers in the final game, but "[[Pikmin 3 prerelease information#Character D|Character D]]" was eventually scrapped. Because the other leaders were given names that start with the same letter as the placeholder names, it is believed that "Drake" was the name that would be picked for the final leader, had he been accepted. Instead of deleting the name, the developers shifted it over to the game's main ship, the S.S. Drake. | |||
In addition, the name "Drake" could also be a reference to the famous navigator {{w|Sir Francis Drake}}. This is hinted to by the trophy for the S.S. Drake in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.{{cite quote|{{Notes:S.S. Drake/ssb4wiiuus}}|Trophy description|''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''}} | |||
Although the navy prefix "S.S" normally means "{{w|Steamship|screw-steamer}}", a steam-powered ship with a propeller, it can be assumed that this fictional navy prefix means something like "star ship" or "space ship." | Although the navy prefix "S.S" normally means "{{w|Steamship|screw-steamer}}", a steam-powered ship with a propeller, it can be assumed that this fictional navy prefix means something like "star ship" or "space ship." | ||
