Hocotate Ship

The Hocotate Ship is Captain Olimar's space ship from Pikmin 2. It has a few roles in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Most importantly, it is in Captain Olimar's Final Smash, End of Day. Captain Olimar jumps into the ship to initiate this Final Smash. Also, for his entrance in Brawl matches, Olimar jumps out of the ship. It also has a role in the Subspace Emissary. When Bowser's and Ganondorf's cannon destroys the Halberd, Olimar in the Hocotate Ship comes out, damaging the cannon. The Hocotate Ship can also be seen at the background of the beginning of Outside the Ancient Ruins. The ship appears as a trophy in the Trophy Gallery.
