In ''[[Pikmin]]'', it is struck by an asteroid while Olimar is returning from vacation and crashlands on the Pikmin planet, shedding thirty of its parts in the process.  After discovering the Main Engine near the crash site, Olimar can use the Dolphin to fly into the atmosphere when night approaches, as it is too risky to stay on the planet with all of the noctural creatures wandering about.  He can also return to the Dolphin at any time during the day to fix his space suit if he's taken damage.
 
  
 
To successfully escape from the planet, Olimar must collect at least 25 of the Dolphin's missing parts.  At various part counts, the Dolphin will be able to access new areas on the planet.  After finding one part (the Main Engine) the Dolphin can go to the Forest of Hope, then after finding four more it can go to the Forest Navel, and seven more after that (12 total) will allow it to reach the Distant Spring.  Only by finding 29 parts can it go to the Final Trial, where the last part is found.

Unfortunately, the Dolphin is sold by the President at the beginning of Pikmin 2 to attempt to pay off Hocotate Freight's massive debt.  It is then replaced by the artificially intelligent, two-seater ship.  Whether or not Olimar plans to reclaim the Dolphin (especially considering that two of its parts are presents from his children) with the leftover treasure remains to be seen.

**'''First Note''': Every spaceship needs one of these, but I don't actually know what it's for. Every once in a while, it goes wild and lets out a lot of noise, but I never pay much attention to it, so it doesn't do me much good. I really should read that manual one of these days!
