Extended Hand of Friendship

This turned out to be a humanoid robot's right arm. The S.S. Dolphin II asked, "Am I doing my part as your right hand, Captain Olimar?" I had to think about this.

The S.S. Dolphin II may be a loudmouth, but I wouldn't have made it this far without it. It's as much my friend as the Pikmin are. But how to tell it that without it getting a swelled head?
