The Hocotate Ship is a two-person spaceship and Olimar's current mode of transportation in the Pikmin series.
Origin[edit]
The Hocotate Ship first appears in Pikmin 2, replacing the repossessed S.S. Dolphin from the previous game as Olimar's bases of operations on PNF-404. In addition to providing safety above the planet's surface at night for the explorers, it is used for storing Purple and White Pikmin in its hull, due to them lacking Onions of their own, and dispatches its nose cone where its artificial intelligence is built into so it can follow the group underground when necessary. The ship has a haughty personality and often berates Olimar and Louie for their incompetence.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
As a moveset element[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Hocotate Ship appears as part of Olimar's Final Smash, End of Day. Olimar enters the ship at it launches above the stage as night falls, which causes several Bulborbs to damage the opponents, before falling back down onto the stage and exploding.
In The Subspace Emissary[edit]
The Hocotate Ship was also Olimar's means of transportation during the events of The Subspace Emissary, where he is presumed to have piloted it to enter Subspace. The ship can be seen in the background of the Outside the Ancient Ruins level and the first turquoise cube in said level that will always drop its trophy.
Trophy[edit]
- Hocotate Ship
- A battered old spaceship used when Hocotate Freight first opened. Its appraisal gauge analyzed garbage Olimar brought home and found it to be valuable. With his new ship sold off to pay company debts, Louie and Olimar flew this one back to the Pikmin world to find more treasure. The ship's removable research pod accompanied the adventurers when they ventured underground.
