Editing Cameos

Throughout the [[Mario (series)|Mario series]], many characters from other series made '''Cameos'''. The large majority of these cameos are from characters developed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and [[Nintendo]]. Some non-Nintendo characters have appeared as well, such as Sonic or Earthworm Jim.

== Pikmin ==
{{main|Captain Olimar}}
Pikmin are a species of small plant-like creatures that exist in the ''Pikmin'' series. They have also appeared in the [[Marioverse]] on a number of occasions. Of the Pikmin that have appeared in the Mario series, only three varieties of Pikmin have appeared. Pikmin made their first appearance into the Marioverse during the events of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Pikmin can be collected as a trophy. A savegame of the ''Pikmin'' game is needed on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube's]] Memory Card in order to get the Captain Olimar trophy.

Pikmin later made another cameo during the events of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. If certain flower beds were struck by a golf ball, Pikmin would pop out of the flowerbed and attempt to flee. These flower beds can be found in various stages. In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Pikmin made an appearance in a [[Microgame]] where the player has to kill the Pikmin with a [[Wikipedia: Bulborb|Bulborb]].

Additionally, in the game ''[[Wikipedia: Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]'', a box of matches displaying [[Bowser]]'s face and a [[Game & Watch]] game can be obtained as a treasure. The game ''[[Super Mario 128]]'' was also converted into what is now known as Pikmin as well. Additionally, Captain Olimar and his partner, Louie, are named after Mario (Olimar is an anagram of Mario, with an L added) and Luigi (Louie sounds like Luigi with a G sound on the end).

''These strange beings are part plant, part animal. They spend most of their time buried in the earth, but they will befriend whoever plucks them, as evidenced by their devotion to Captain Olimar. Each Pikmin has a leaf on its head that grows into a bud and finally a flower. Like a flower, the life of a Pikmin is both fragile and beautiful.''

==== [[Captain Olimar]] ====
[[Image:Trophy274.PNG|left|frame|]]
''The main character of the game Pikmin, Captain Olimar crash-lands on a mysterious planet after his spaceship malfunctions. In order to get off the planet, he must gather the pieces of his broken ship, but the atmosphere of the planet is poisonous to Olimar. As a result, he has to enlist the help of the native Pikmin.''

== Earthworm Jim ==
Earthworm Jim is a mutated humanoid earthworm wielding a red ray-gun. Like Sonic the Hedgehog, it is believed that Earthworm Jim once entered the Marioverse. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', Donkey Kong's aleged father, Cranky Kong, created a challenge to see who could find the most secret DK coins on Crocodile Isle. Mario came in first, Yoshi came in second and Link came in last (Later on, Diddy Kong would claim the spot as number one). Earthworm Jim seems to have entered this competition as well, but didn't even come in third. This made him leave the island, and set down his ray-gun as evidence that he came.
