The Shock Absorber (ショックアブゾーバー, Shokku Abuzōbā) is a ship part in Pikmin. It is one of twenty-five mandatory ship parts to collect.
Mainline Appearances[]
Pikmin[]
The Shock Absorber appears in The Forest of Hope, where it is protected by a Red Bulborb on a ledge. To obtain it, Olimar must go to a wooden gate to the left of the landing site and have his Pikmin destroy it if they have not done so already. Olimar then has to toss the Pikmin on the ledge and then walk up the slope in the nearby pool of water to reunite with them. He can also throw the Pikmin from where the Nova Blaster is. The Shock Absorber is next to the Spotty Bulborb, which can be defeated to obtain it, and an easier method is taking Blue Pikmin through the water to launch a rear attack on the Bulborb.
In the Ship Log, the Shock Absorber is said to counteract the shaking and swaying during space flight, making the flights taken by the Dolphin much smoother.

This apparatus counteracts the shaking and swaying that normally occurs during flight. It's smooth sailing with this in place... Usually."
