Notes
Discovery Notes
"It's my Zirconium Rotor! This is made from rust-proof zirconium, which is particularly suited to making spaceship parts. I had to pay a lot extra to have this installed, and I suspect the mechanic overcharged me."
Ship Log
"Made of rust-proof zirconium, it is as shiny as new, despite being left out in this planet's harsh elements."
Collecting the Part
The Zirconium Rotor is located near the Gluon Drive. Get six Yellow Pikmin and get some Bomb Rocks. Destroy the wall and kill the two Yellow Wollywogs near the white gate and have about thirty Blue Pikmin knock down the white gate. Once finished, have them carry the part back.
Trivia
- In real life, Zirconium is a gray-white transition metal, which resembles titanium. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, just like it was as described in the game.
