The Shock Absorber is a ship part in Pikmin found in The Forest of Hope. It is protected by a Red Bulborb on a ledge. The Shock Absorber counteracts the shaking and swaying during space flight, making the flights taken by the Dolphin much smoother.

Collecting the Part

The Shock Absorber, being carried by Red and Yellow Pikmin.

Starting from the landing site, go to the left through where the breakable gate was. Toss Pikmin on the ledge and then walk up the slope in the nearby pool of water to rejoin them. Pikmin can also be thrown from where the Nova Blaster is. Defeat the Spotty Bulborb and then claim the part, located just next to it. To make it easier, try taking Blue Pikmin through the water to launch a rear attack on the Bulborb.
