It is not necessary to get all 30 parts; only 25 are needed. However, if you fail to get the required parts, you will get the "bad ending" to the game. In the bad ending, Olimar tries to lift off of the planet but crashes back down, as not all mandatory ship parts were collected. The Pikmin carry him back to their onion and he pops out as a Pikmin-like creature.
If you collected enough ship parts, you blast off into the atmosphere. If not, you die and turn into a Pikmin.
You have to collect enough ship parts in the level(s) before it.
It is possible to recover up to four parts.
Olimar's ship in the original Pikmin is called the S.S. Dolphin (after the code name of the GameCube).
In Pikmin 2, there is no name given to the ship, but is known generally as just "The Ship." The Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy calls it the "Hocotate Ship."
It depends on how many ship parts you got. If you get all 25 necessary parts but not all 30, you get the "good" ending, wherein you just barely escape. If you manage to collect all 30 parts, you are treated to the "happy" ending, wherein Olimar sees many colors of Onion.
No, Louie doesn't have his own ship, as the ship in Pikmin 2 belongs to Hocotate Freight, his employer. If Louie does own his own spaceship, it is never shown in the game.

Louie will be left behind, and will be replaced by the President of Hocotate Freight. Also, the ship turns gold.
The character faints and is returned to the ship, unable to be used for the rest of the day. If both characters faint, the day is over and any Pikmin with the remaining character will be killed as they are left behind at the end of the day.
