==Notes==
The '''Nova Blaster''' ({{j|ノヴァブラスター|Nova Burasutā|Nova Blaster}}) is a [[ship part]] of the [[S.S. Dolphin]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. Its promotional brochure claims that it emits a powerful burst of light said to be able to destroy stellar objects as large as stars. It is unknown why a cargo ship like the Dolphin and Hocotate ship would have this weapon, however, it is assumed that its purpose is as a means of defense against space pirates. The brochure also says that the blasts could travel through the currents in space.


===Discovery Notes===
As pointed out by the game's instruction manual, the reason why [[Captain Olimar]] did not intercept the incoming meteor from the beginning of the game with the Nova Blaster is because the route he was flying through was usually a safe one, therefore he had put the S.S. Dolphin on auto-pilot to get some tea, and failed to notice the meteor. However, this does not explain why the [[Guard Satellite]] had failed to warn the Captain of the meteor, despite having the means to destroy it with the Nova Blaster.
''"I've found the Nova Blaster!''
''This emits a dazzling burst of light capable of destroying almost anything! I'm not exactly sure about this, but the promotional brochure claims that its blasts can travel in the currents of space-time, smashing through stars and into the rifts of space."''


===Ship Log===
In {{p3d}}, another Nova Blaster with green paint appears as a part of the [[Hocotate ship]]. This Nova Blaster is worth {{pokos|800|p}}. The Nova Blaster reappears as a ship part in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}.
''"This is a weapon of such incredible destructive force that it can blast stars into tiny pieces... It has a strange allure."''


After being collected, this ship part does not change the ship's appearance.

=== In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' ===
{{see also|Shaggy Long Legs#Strategy|t1=Shaggy Long Legs strategy}}
The Nova Blaster is held inside the golden Shaggy Long Legs found in the last mission of [[Olimar's Comeback]].  Defeating the creature allows retrieval of the part.
 
=== In ''Pikmin 4'' ===
Ascend the hill near the Meandering Slope landing site and throw Pikmin to lower the bridge over the valley. Cross the bridge and use [[Moss]]' [[rush]] or a [[bomb rock]] to break a barricade of [[jar]]s to the left. Past a [[Puffy Blowhog]] is an [[Arachnode]] that is keeping the Nova Blaster in its web. Kill the Blowhog to prevent it from disrupting your Pikmin, then kill the Arachnode to recover the part.
