Hocotate Ship

The Hocotate Ship is Captain Olimar's space ship from Pikmin 2. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the ship appears as part of Olimar's Final Smash, End of Day. Captain Olimar jumps into the ship to initiate this Final Smash. Also, for his entrance, Olimar jumps out of the ship. It also has a role in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary. When the Subspace Gunship destroys the Halberd, the Hocotate Ship is one of the smaller ships that emerges. The Hocotate Ship can also be seen at the background of the beginning of Outside the Ancient Ruins.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the Hocotate Ship appears as an item called the Hocotate Bomb. After it is thrown, the ship flies into the air; it can also carry opponents above the upper blast line. After a while, the ship flies back to the ground, exploding to damage any nearby players.

 * In the 2010 version of Nintendo Monopoly, one of the tokens is the Hocotate Ship. Oddly, the back of the game box refers to it as "Pikmin's Ship".
