Background

The S.S. Dolphin is a delivery spaceship that belongs to Captain Olimar in the game Pikmin. It is wrecked when it collides with a comet during a flight on a vacation, and thirty of its pieces end up scattered around the five areas of the Pikmin planet (Later named PNF-404 in Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe); Pikmin involves the collection of these using the Pikmin. The S.S. Dolphin is the ship used to fly to the atmosphere between days in this game.

When Olimar returns to Hocotate with a completely repaired ship at the start of Pikmin 2, the S.S. Dolphin is sold to help pay the Hocotate Freight company's enormous debt caused by Louie. It is then replaced by the Hocotate ship, a direct downgrade in terms of flight capabilities, that both Olimar and Louie must use to return to PNF-404 to acquire large amounts of treasure.

After the events of Pikmin 2, Olimar and Louie return yet again to PNF-404 in Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe to acquire more treasure after Hocotate Freight's President falls into yet another debt. Olimar is yet again with the Hocotate Ship, still needing to rebuy his S.S Dolphin.

General Information

Name: S.S Dolphin

Origin: Pikmin

Age: Unknown (The model appears to be rather new, and Olimar even calls the Hocotate Ship old in comparison)

Classification: Delivery Spaceship

Status: Likely Active (Although the S.S Dolphin was sold off at the beginning of Pikmin 2, Olimar notes he will buy back his ship after leaving PNF-404)

Users: Captain Olimar

Terrain: PNF-404 and Hocotate's solar system/galaxy

Codex Statistics

Tier: Unknown physically, 4-C with the Nova Blaster

Cardinality: Finite

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: Unknown physically (The S.S Dolphin is designed to haul loads of items throughout space at high speeds), At least Star level with the Nova Blaster (The Nova Blaster can create shockwaves that can reduce stars to bits)

Durability: Unknown (Was able to briefly stay intact when hit by a comet before catching on fire upon atmospheric reentry. Scales to other ships such as the S.S Drake which survived a small explosion within orbit and crashing onto the surface of PNF-404 with no notable damage)

Speed: Faster Than Light (The S.S Dolphin can travel 279,000 light years in seconds and beyond "super light speed". The S.S Dolphin is designed for intergalactic travel), Higher with the Chronos Reactor (The Chronos Reactor changes permutations in the space-time continuum into pure energy, allowing the S.S Dolphin to launch itself across the universe)

Attack Speed: Faster Than Light with the Nova Blaster (The Nova Blaster creates shockwaves that travel in the currents of space-time, destroying anything in its path)

Stamina: Limitless with the Eternal Fuel Dynamo (The Eternal Fuel Dynamo generates an unlimited amount of energy for the S.S Dolphin)

Range: Below Average Melee physically, Universal with the Chronos Reactor and Nova Blaster (The Chronos Reactor can warp the space-time continuum and the Nova Blaster travels through the currents of space-time), Multi-Universal with ship sensors (Should be superior to the Hocotate Ship's sensors, which can locate and interact with the Waterwraith's true form)

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Speed, Spaceflight, Small Size (Bug-Sized; Although significantly taller than Olimar, it's still incredibly small), possibly Genius Intelligence (Although not shown, the S.S Dolphin should be no different than the Hocotate Ship's AI which can create physics-defying technology), Inorganic Physiology (Is a delivery spaceship with the potential consciousness of an AI), Information Analysis and Cosmic Awareness (Can scan anomalies such as the Waterwraith and was able to deduce and sense that its physical form was present in a separate dimension. The Guard Satellite can scan and detect threats incoming]. The Whimsical Radar scans nearby lost ship parts), Dimensional Storage (Can store dozens of treasures and packages in its hull like the Hocotate Ship), Teleportation (Upon being incapacitated in battle, the S.S Dolphin will teleport Olimar back to his cockpit regardless of where he is), Healing and Restoration (The S.S Dolphin can restore both Olimar and his suit to full health), Radiation Manipulation (The Radiation Canopy can transform and nullify space radiation), Light Manipulation (Nova blaster is stated to emit a dazzling burst of light), Electricity Generation and Sunlight Absorption (Can generate an infinite amount of electricty with the Eternal Fuel Dynamo. The Positron Generator absorbs solar cells to generate electricty to power the ship's interior components), Limited Purification (Can filter out toxins to prevent pollution with the Anti-Dioxin Filter), Gravity Manipulation (The Gravity Jumper manipulates gravity, allowing for easier takeoff and reentry on various planets), Gluon Manipulation (The Gluon Drive is stated to metaphysically bind gluons to travel through space), Regeneration and Restoration (High-Mid. The Repair-Type Bolt can repair anything in the ship, including the engine. The S.S Dolphin can rebuild itself from damaged remains of over a dozen parts. The S.S Dolphin can restore its components to their rightful positions in functioning order and should be superior to the Hocotate Ship which can rebuild itself from mere scraps), Space-Time Manipulation, Light Manipulation, and Shockwave Generation (The Nova Blaster fires a beam of dazzling light that can send shockwaves through space-time), Reality Warping, Transmutation, and Velocity Manipulation (The Chronos Reactor warps the space-time continuum, changing permutations in the space-time continuum to allow the S.S Dolphin to launch itself across the universes).
Resistance to Cosmic Radiations, Gravity Manipulation, and Biological Manipulation (Can survive and traverse in the vacuum of space for several days. The Radiation Canopy can transform and nullify space radiation), Space-Time Manipulation, and Reality Warping (Should be unaffected by its own weaponry which warps all of space and time)

Other

Weaknesses: Despite its incredibly powerful weaponry, the S.S Dolphin seems to lack any defensive shields or barriers to protect itself from danger

Note: This is the S.S Dolphin Pikmin. Although there's no official statement on the canonicity of Hey! Pikmin, several implications suggest that it's an alternate timeline in which the events of Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe never occurred. Furthermore, due to Hey! Pikmin being a spin-off, the canonicity is put into even more question.
