When Olimar returns to [[Hocotate]] with a repaired 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. It is then replaced by the [[Hocotate ship]]. In {{p3}}, there is no appearance of the S.S. Dolphin. However, if the player visits the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] arena in the [[Garden of Hope]], they can find a [[data file]] that in which [[Captain Olimar]] complains about the Hocotate ship and wishes to buy back the S.S. Dolphin once the new debt is repaid.
