The Zirconium Rotor is a rocket part found in Pikmin. The part is made of rust-proof Zirconium and was in good condition when Olimar found it. The Optical Illustration/Abstract Masterpiece in Pikmin 2 is located in the same place where the Zirconium Rotor is found.

Collecting the part

It is located near the Gluon Drive. Get 6 Yellow Pikmin and get some Bomb-rocks. Destroy the wall and kill the two Yellow Wollywogs near the white gate and have about 30 Blue Pikmin knock down the white gate. Once finished, have them carry the part back.

Notes

Olimar's monologs

“It's my Zirconium Rotor!

This is made from rust-proof zirconium, which is particularly suited to making spaceship parts. I had to pay a lot extra to have this installed, and I suspect the mechanic overcharged me.

---

Made of rust-proof zirconium, it is as shiny as new, despite being left out in this planet's harsh elements.”

Trivia

• In real life, Zirconium is a gray-white transition metal, which resembles titanium. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, just like it was as described in the game.
