Pikmin serve {{iw|smashwiki|Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Although they are technically not playable, Olimar is almost completely helpless without them, for they are featured in all of Olimar's special moves, smash attacks, aerial attacks (except for his neutral aerial), and grabs. As such, they must be {{iw|pikipedia|pluck}}ed from the ground. When [[Kirby]] gains Olimar's ability, he can also use Pikmin, but after plucking them, he immediately throws them.
