The Nova Blaster is an optional ship part of the S.S. Dolphin in Pikmin. The brochure claims that It emits a powerful burst of light said to be able to destroy stellar objects as large as stars. It is unknown why a cargo ship like the Dolphin would have this weapon, however, it is assumed that its purpose is as a means of defense against space pirates. The brochure also claims that the blasts could travel through the currents of space.

Discovery Notes[]
"I've found the Nova Blaster! This emits a dazzling burst of light capable of destroying almost anything! I'm not exactly sure about this, but the promotional brochure claims that its blasts can travel in the currents of space-time, smashing through stars and into the rifts of space."
Ship Log[]
"This is a weapon of such incredible destructive force that it can blast stars into tiny pieces... It has a strange allure."
Collecting the Part[]
The Nova Blaster sitting where it is found.
Simple enough, destroy the stone wall next to the landing area with Bomb Rocks. Defeat the Dwarf Bulborbs and a Red Bulborb. Destroy the black gate or go through a small opening in the tree stump's root. Continue down the path, beating more Bulborbs. It is at the end, next to a rusted open tin can.
Trivia[]
- Strangely, this part wasn't used to destroy the meteor that crashed the ship in the first place.
- The manual for the game explains that Olimar was busy making "a hot cup of tea", and seemingly didn't even know a space rock hit his ship, which could explain why he didn't use the weapon.
- It can also be noted that the blaster could have been used to attack all enemies after he collects the part, but was never used for some reason.
- It is unknown how this part actually functions on the ship.
- The crosshair indicates that one would have to manually aim the weapon to fire it, implying that this part would be in front of Olimar.
- However, due to the fact that the Bowsprit is directly in front of Olimar with little to no space in between, this seemingly can't be the case.
- The crosshair indicates that one would have to manually aim the weapon to fire it, implying that this part would be in front of Olimar.
