| Location | The Impact Site |
The Main Engine of the Dolphin's is the only part found on the first day in Pikmin, so that Captain Olimar is able at least to lift off from the crash site to escape the planet's nocturnal beasts. He is able to transport this part with the help of the Pikmin he discovers upon landing on the planet. With the Main Engine restored to the S.S. Dolphin, Olimar is able to continue on to The Forest of Hope to find more of his thirty lost ship parts. In Pikmin 2, the Dream Den replaces this part's location.
Collecting the part
The first day consists of the main tutorial about the Pikmin. Once Olimar gets the first Pikmin, start collecting all the Pellets, including the ones on the two small stumps. Once Olimar has 10 or more Pikmin, command them to move the cardboard box. Once the box is out of the way Olimar will find the engine. Head up the rocks where the box made a ramp and get all of the Pellets until Olimar has 20-25 Pikmin. Now the Pikmin can pick up the most important part of the S.S. Dolphin.
Notes
Olimar's monologs
“Amazing! There's no mistaking it! My ship's engine rests before my very eyes! By a stroke of pure luck, I have already stumbled upon the most important piece of my damaged craft! Fate has smiled upon me! But... How will I get it back to the Dolphin?
It was pure luck that I found this piece first. With this I can at least lift off!”
