The '''Bowsprit''' ({{j|バウスプリット|Bausupuritto|Bowsprit}}) is a ship part in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] in {{p4}}. It is the "face" of the [[S.S. Dolphin]], designed by [[Captain Olimar]], and gives the Dolphin its sleek shape. In ''Pikmin'', it can be found inside the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] in the central tree stump of [[The Distant Spring]].
Once recovered, it is installed on its rightful place, as the nose of the Dolphin.

The Bowsprit (バウスプリット?, lit.: "Bowsprit") is a ship part in Pikmin and Olimar's Shipwreck Tale in Pikmin 4. It is the "face" of the S.S. Dolphin, designed by Captain Olimar, and gives the Dolphin its sleek shape. In Pikmin, it can be found inside the Armored Cannon Beetle in the central tree stump of The Distant Spring.

Once recovered, it is installed on its rightful place, as the nose of the Dolphin.

Collecting the part[edit]

The following article or section contains guides.

Getting it requires many steps. First, defeat all Bulbears and Puffy Blowhogs that will be in the way back to the ship. There are two paths to get to it: either cross the fire geysers near the Armored Cannon Beetle or take the safe route near the landing site by building the twig and unplugging the geyser. Then defeat the Beetle and retrieve the part. Build the bridge and destroy the gate so Pikmin can carry it back to the Dolphin, defeating the Shearwigs along the way. Assuming they take the eastern path back to the Dolphin, Blue Pikmin will carry the part through a shortcut in the water, thus avoiding the three sleeping Bulbears on the way.

In Pikmin 4[edit]

Bowsprit
The location of the Bowsprit in the Serene Shores.

The Bowsprit sits partially submerged atop a coral reef in the easternmost lake. To acquire it, ferry at least 30 Blue Pikmin on Moss's back across the lake and then throw them at the part. Make sure to defeat the various enemies and clear the obstacles in the way so the Pikmin can carry it safely back to base.

The water surrounding the Bowsprit recedes at noon, effectively turning its coral bed into an island. This makes it possible to retrieve it with any Pikmin type – or with Moss alone if she has Super Buff level 3 – by repeatedly freezing the water with Ice Blasts. You will need to save up several Ice Blasts in order to do this however.

Notes

Olimar's monologs

I've discovered the Bowsprit!

With this piece installed, my ship should regain some of its sleek shape.


The so-called face of the Dolphin. In point of fact, I designed it.
