'''Alph''' is one of the three playable explorers in ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 3|Pikmin 3]]'', bearing resemblance to [[Captain Olimar]] from the previous ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' installments. He appears as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', being an alternative costume to Captain Olimar, instead of taking up his own icon on the character selection screen. Unlike most other alternative costumes, the game acknowledges him as a separate character from Olimar, with the announcer, crowd, and character selection saying and displaying his name. He shares this trait with the [[Koopalings]] - the alternate costumes of [[Bowser Jr.]] - who are also acknowledged as separate characters.

==Trivia==
*According to design documents, at one point during development Alph was being considered as being a full playable character; as a character, he would have been a clone of Olimar.<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/29/plucky-little-guys-olimar-and-alph-in-smash-4/ Plucky Little Guys: Olimar and Alph in Smash 4]. Source Gaming (July 29, 2015). Retrieved July 30, 2015.</ref>
*He is so far the only playable character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to debut on the [[Wii U]] console.
