==Rocket Fist==
{{Notes|journal=y|sale=y|ship=y|shipnpc=y}}
The Rocket Fist, a component of the [[Exploration Kit]], enables a new, stronger punching combo attack for use by the [[Captain]]s, which makes defeating [[:category:enemies|enemies]] with captains alone much easier and more efficient. Without the upgrade, the "A" button will produce a simple right punch. Once this treasure has been collected, pressing "A" a second time will perform a left-hook, and a third time launches a devastating wind-up punch. This third punch has the strength of roughly three normal punches, and can dispatch a smaller enemy, such as [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s, with minimum effort. It is capable of reaching [[:category:Airborne enemies|flying enemies]] and other obstacles high in the air, such as [[Puffy Blowhog]]s, if positioned directly under them.


*Collecting this power-up will not affect the inactive Captain, who will still use the standard punch move. Using the Captain's attacks together boosts the total damage by a small amount, and is suggested to be used often, though with careful watch for counter attacks so the inactive Captain can move in advance.

*While stationary, this combo will move at normal speed, but while ''moving'' and pressing the "A" button rapidly, it is almost twice as fast. This is very helpful because it makes it possible to dodge and deal full damage at the same time with enough practice.

Notes

Ship's dialogs

GameCube GameCube

Processing... How strange. This atypical metal object came from inside that bizarre being.

...It appears to be a giant metal hand. Perhaps it is an ancient work of art?


This object seems to replicate a humanoid fist. A glove much like it once lay in my junk hold...

...And here is that very glove! I have just found the missing Rocket Punch[sic] in my junk hold!

Tap the A Button on the GameCube controller three times to launch it! One, two, PUNCH!!!

Olimar's journal

Uncharted planets like this one are often teeming with hazardous fauna. The Pikmin are usually nearby to defend me, but there are times when I need to lay down the law with my own hands. For example, if a creature were to try to eat me, I'd have to beat it down.

...I dream about that all the time...

Sales pitch

In a plume of flame, this steel fist flies and smashes its target to bits...but the recoil is severe. (Captain Olimar suffers from shoulder pain, so he uses it without the rocket booster.)
