'''Ship parts''' are the main collectible items in {{p1}} and the [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] mode of {{p4}}, along with appearing in {{p3d}}&#39;s [[Side Stories]] mode.

==In ''Pikmin''==
Ship parts are fragments of the ship used by [[Captain Olimar]], the [[S.S. Dolphin]]. After colliding with a comet at the start of ''Pikmin'', the S.S. Dolphin lost most of its parts, which are needed to leave the [[PNF-404|planet]]. Scattered around the [[area]]s in the game, they must be successfully [[Carry|retrieved]] back into the ship in order to repair it. The parts are usually placed in such a manner that some form of challenge must be overcome in order to access them. Some are found on high ledges, some are behind [[Gate#Reinforced wall|walls]], and some are inside [[Enemy|enemies]], most commonly bosses.

After a certain number of parts are recovered, the S.S. Dolphin's stability will increase, and the player will be able to access a new area. There are a total of 30 ship parts, but only 25 of them are required in order to leave the planet. Should the player collect all parts, they will be awarded with the best ending. If after 30 days, all required ship parts are collected, the normal ending will be shown. If, however, the player fails to recover all required ship parts after 30 days, they will receive the bad ending.

Every time a ship part is collected in ''Pikmin'', gameplay stops, and a [[cutscene]] takes place showing the part being beamed into the Dolphin. 14 of the ship parts visually disappear after being collected, but 16 parts will appear on the Dolphin in a specific place upon collection, causing sparkle particles to come out. Once installed, the ship part remains visible on the Dolphin for the rest of the game.

==In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''==
In [[Olimar's Comeback]], [[The President]] sends [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]] back to [[PNF-404]] to repair the [[Hocotate ship]] after they had abandoned it. Collecting ship parts is slightly different in this game, however. In [[First Part Found]] and [[Another Part Found]], the player must clear a path for the Pikmin to transport a single ship part to the [[SPERO]] before time runs out. In [[The Ship Restored]], the player must find multiple ship parts and return them to the SPERO. The Ship Restored assigns each part a monetary value of hundreds of [[Poko]]s as part of the mission's scoring system.

Some of the ship parts in this game mode are named, while others aren't. Although, all are near identical in appearance to the ones collected in {{p1}}, despite the Hocotate ship being far different in design from the [[S.S. Dolphin]]. Those returning parts being:
*{{icon|Main Engine|y|v=P3D}}
*{{icon|Chronos Reactor|y|v=P3D}}
*{{icon|Nova Blaster|y|v=P3D}}: {{pokos|700}}
*{{icon|Repair-type Bolt|y|v=P3D}}: {{pokos|500}}
*{{icon|Analog Computer|y|v=P3D}}: {{pokos|800}}

Only the Main Engine and Chronos Reactor are referred to by name by Olimar in his outline and assignment reports.

==In ''Pikmin 4''==
Ship parts appear in the [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] side mode and essentially serve the same purpose as they did in ''Pikmin'', both story and gameplay-wise. Like ''Pikmin'', there are 30 parts to collect, although the day count has been halved to 15. After a certain number of parts are recovered, the S.S. Dolphin's stability will increase, and the player will be able to access a new area. Should the player collect all parts, they will be awarded with the 'best' ending, and if they fail to recover all ship parts, they will receive the bad ending. Unlike ''Pikmin'', all parts are required for a successful launch - there is no normal ending.

Several of the same ship parts return, but most are replaced with duplicates of the Extraordinary Bolt, Repair-Type Bolt, and the Automatic Gear. The reason why some parts from ''Pikmin'' have been replaced with duplicates of other parts in ''Pikmin 4'' is unknown, though Olimar hints that he is collecting even the most minor parts for use in gear. 

All visible ship parts from ''Pikmin'' that are not collectible in ''Pikmin 4'' can be found on the ship from the start (minus the Eternal Fuel Dynamo, which can become obstructed in ''Pikmin'' regardless).

==Trivia==
*In {{p1}}, during a ship part recollection [[cutscene]], all other ship parts that are being [[Carry|carried]] will turn invisible. This also happens in {{p2}} with [[treasure]]s.
