Location of the part on the radar. Click for a bigger image.

It is found behind a black stone gate past the original place of the yellow Onion and the Whimsical Radar, an ideal place to test the usage of Yellow Pikmin with bomb-rocks. It takes 9 bombs to destroy this gate, and it should be noted that a path to the ship should be secured first, especially considering the nearby Sheargrubs and Spotty Bulborbs, if they haven't already been killed. If you are planning to kill them, however, you should kill them using Captain Olimar. It is generally safer because you can avoid Pikmin losses.

In Pikmin 2, the Hole of Beasts replaces this part's location.

Notes

Olimar's monologs

“It's the Extraordinary Bolt!

I bought this incredible bolt because the salesman told me it is of extraordinary quality that is indiscernible to the average person. Exactly what makes it so extraordinary is a secret. But just look at it! Extraordinary!

This bolt's bolt holds the kind of value that only a true connoisseur can understand.”

Trivia

• The Extraordinary Bolt can be seen in the Enemy Reel while showing the Iridescent Flint Beetle. However, it is in the Distant Spring, and the top is green instead of red. It can also be seen while showing the Spotty Bulborb and the Sheargrub.
• The Extraordinary Bolt bears some resemblence to the Superstrong Stabilizer from Pikmin 2.
