The '''Nova Blaster''' ({{j|ノヴァブラスター|Nova Burasuta|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. | The '''Nova Blaster''' ({{j|ノヴァブラスター|Nova Burasuta|Nova Blaster}}) is a [[ship part]] of the [[S.S.

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. In {{p3d}}, another Nova Blaster with green paint appears as a part of the [[Hocotate ship]]. This Nova Blaster is worth {{pokos|700}}. | 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.

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. | The Nova Blaster is held inside the golden Shaggy Long Legs found in the last mission of [[Olimar's Comeback]].

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]] to break a barricade of [[pot]]s to the left. Past a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] is an [[Arachnode]] that is keeping the Nova Blaster in its web. Kill the Arachnode to recover the part. | |||
