It is found near two bridges, one near the part and the other one on the opposite side. Build both and defeat the Shearwigs found near the part. As this is the heaviest part in the game, make sure all the Bulbears and the Puffy Blowhog have been defeated to ensure the Pikmin's safety.

Notes

Olimar's monologs

I've found the Gluon Drive!

Using the quark-binding metaphysical properties of gluons, this device... Well, it's...very scientific, and I don't fully understand it myself, but it was very expensive...


I have no idea how this works, but it means the Dolphin will again lift off with its characteristic roar!
