| '''Captain Olimar''' is the star of the video game franchise ''Pikmin'', made by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], named after [[Mario]] himself (Olimar is an anagram of Mario, with an L added). In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', he had a trophy which the player could only get when they used a memory card with a ''Pikmin'' savegame on it. He is also a new playable character in the [[Wii]] game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', fighting with the help of [[Pikmin]]. In fact, without the Pikmin, Olimar is very weak – he can't even use a [[Smash Attack]]. As such, Olimar has to constantly [[#Pikmin Pluck|pick Pikmin out of the ground]] in order to fight.
| |
| | |
| The Pikmin may also scatter, which acts very problematic for Captain Olimar. It is unknown if they scatter by attacks from opponents or just naturally. However, Olimar can [[#Pikmin Order|call the Pikmin back to his side]], so as long as Olimar has even one Pikmin by his side, he can still fight. His other two specialties include [[#Pikmin Throw|throwing Pikmin]] and [[#Pikmin Chain|using them as a chain]] (as a [[Tether Recovery]]).
| |
| | |
| In his [[Final Smash]] he [[#Final Smash: End of Day|hops on his ship and takes off]] while Bulborbs come on the stage and start attacking the [[player]]s. His "home" stage is the [[Distant Planet]].

| =====The Subspace Emissary=====
| |
| [[Image:Subspace_olimar.PNG|thumb|left|Olimar's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
| |
| Captain Olimar's Pikmin are attacking a huge [[R.O.B.]] However, they are so weak they do no damage—the R.O.B. simply spins around and all the Pikmin that were on him fly in all directions and turn into ghosts and die. Captain Olimar starts shivering in fear at the huge robot. A red Pikmin walks up to Olimar and taps him on the side. Olimar turns around and the red Pikmin points out the [[Blue Falcon]] speeding through the forest.
| |
| | |
| [[Captain Falcon]] jumps out of the Blue Falcon and then [[Falcon Punch]]es the huge Robot right in his face. The R.O.B. then falls back destroyed. Captain Falcon lands back on the ground while doing a slide similar to the [[Falcon Kick]]. However, while he is sliding on the ground, he accidentally hurts Pikmin that came in contact with him and killed them all. Captain Falcon just stands there striking a pose wile Captain Olimar just watches as the wind blows a leaf by. Olimar and Falcon decide to team up to fight the [[Subspace Army]].
| |
| | |
| Upon reaching the edge of the [[Island of the Ancients]], they witness [[Diddy Kong]] attacking [[Primid]]s and rescuing [[Donkey Kong]]. Falcon and a reluctant Olimar then decide to join forces with the [[Kong]]s, and upon reaching them, the Primids return with backup. Donkey, Diddy, Falcon, and Olimar manage to fight them off before they see off [[Falco Lombardi]], who had helped Diddy in bringing him to the skift that Donkey was held on.
| |
| | |
| The skift takes Olimar and his crew inside [[the Subspace Bomb Factory]], and they begin to move through it. They eventually find the [[Ancient Minister]], along with [[Pikachu]] and [[Samus Aran]]. [[Ganondorf]] suddenly appears and commands the [[R.O.B.]]s in the room to detonate the [[Subspace Bomb]]s in the room so he could create a large enough hole in space to fit a [[Subspace Gunship]] through. The Ancient Minister reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and helps the other heroes defeat the Subspace underlings that Ganondorf sent out. Olimar, along with R.O.B. and the rest, escapes from the island before it is sucked into [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]]. All of the heroes then unite to take down the Subspace Gunship and enter Subspace. Unfortunately, Olimar and the others were doomed to be turned into trophies by [[Tabuu]].
| |
| | |
| However, hope comes in the form of [[King Dedede]], who created some badges that revive trophies into the original fighter. Olimar is rescued by Dedede and his team consisting of [[Luigi]] and [[Ness]]. With everyone revived, they are able to take down Tabuu and save the world.

| ==Special Moves==
| |
| ===Pikmin Pluck===
| |
| [[Image:Pikmin_Pluck.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''Pikmin Pluck'''.]]
| |
| '''Pikmin Pluck''' is the name of Olimar's Standard [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|Special Move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It allows Olimar to pluck [[Pikmin]] from the ground, allowing him to [[Smash Attack]] and use other Special Moves. So long as there is ground to stand on, Olimar can pluck any one out of the five different kinds of Pikmin, each with its own special traits (see [[Pikmin#Types of Pikmin|Types of Pikmin]]), in a similar fashion to [[Princess Peach|Peach's]] [[Princess Peach#Vegetable|Vegetable]] attack. Olimar can have six Pikmin out on the field at one time. [[#Pikmin Throw|Pikmin Throw]], [[#Pikmin Chain|Pikmin Chain]] and [[#Pikmin Order|Pikmin Order]] can all only be used when Pikmin are on the field. Pikmin can easily scatter around the stage, and can also be defeated like any other character, comparable to the [[Ice Climbers]]. [[Kirby]] is also capable of using this attack if he copies Olimar's powers. However, since Kirby is only able to copy a Standard Special Move, and Olimar needs to use other attacks to attack with the Pikmin, Kirby instantly tosses his plucked Pikmin, rather than letting them travel behind him, but the Pikmins will slam into his opponents instead of latching on.
| |
| | |
| On a side note, in the ''Pikmin'' games, Pikmin cannot be plucked out of the ground at any time Olimar wants. They grow from seeds generated by Onions, which must be given Food Pellets to produce Pikmin seeds. Once a sprout appears, Olimar or Louie can pluck the Pikmin.
| |
| | |
| ===Pikmin Throw===
| |
| [[Image:Pikmin_Throw.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The '''Pikmin Throw'''.]] | |
| '''Pikmin Throw''' is an attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', used only by Olimar. It acts as his Side [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|Special Move]], and can only be used if [[Pikmin]] are in the field (see [[#Pikmin Pluck|Pikmin Pluck]]). When Olimar tosses the Pikmin at his opponents, they latch onto them, attacking them whilst holding on. This causes the opposing players damage counter to rise gradually, until all the Pikmin fall off. Certain Pikmin do more damage than others, while others have added effects, such as poisoning (White Pikmin). More damage will be dealt if more Pikmin are tossed at the opposing players. It is currently unknown if the Pikmin only fall off over time, or if the player can shake them off.

| |
| | |
| ===Pikmin Chain===
| |
| [[Image:Pikmin_Chain.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''Pikmin Chain'''.]]
| |
| '''Pikmin Chain''' is a [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|Special attack]] attributed to Olimar in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is his Up Special Move, and seems to be some sort of [[Tether Recovery]]. [[#Pikmin Pluck|Pikmin Pluck]] must be used sometime before using this attack, as Olimar needs at least one [[Pikmin]] on the field to use Pikmin Chain. Using the Pikmin following Olimar, Olimar uses them to grab onto the edge of a stage if he's falling off. The Pikmin grab onto each others feet, acting as a Pikmin Chain, hence the name. The less Pikmin, the shorter the range of the chain is. Olimar can then pull himself back to the stage if the Pikmin grab onto the ledge.This move does damage and knockback to foes hit, and if Olimar is in the air, will pass through the opponent to grab the ledge. On the ground, Olimar whips the chain diagonally upwards in the direction he's facing, allowing him to hit distant foes. The damage and properties of the attack are dependent on the last Pikmin in the chain, as when he uses the move, the Pikmin assemble in reverse order.
| |
| ===Pikmin Order===
| |
| [[Image:Pikmin_Order.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The '''Pikmin Order'''.]]
| |
| '''Pikmin Order''' is one of Olimar's [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|Special Moves]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is his down special move, and does no damage at all. When Olimar uses this attack, he blows his whistle, calling any scattered [[Pikmin]] back to him. This can be very useful for when all of his Pikmin are wandering across the stage. The attack can also be used to shift the order of Pikmin in Olimar's line-up. This move is very important to Olimar, as it can avoid his lost Pikmin from getting defeated easily, thus, eliminating the need to [[#Pikmin Pluck|pluck]] them again. Other than this, however, Pikmin Order appears to have no other use.

| ===Final Smash: End of Day===
| |
| {{LLquote|The ship comes crashing back to the battlefield with a huge explosion! Maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch someone in the blast?|[[Masahiro Sakurai]]|[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pikmin.html#3rd Smash Bros. DOJO!!]}}
| |
| [[Image:End_of_Day.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''End of Day'''.]]
| |
| [[Image:End_of_Day_2.jpg|thumb|160px|left|The creatures appear.]]
| |
| '''End of Day''' is Olimar's [[Final Smash]] attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Meant to imitate the "end of day" event from the ''Pikmin'' games, Olimar rushes into his [[Hocotate Ship]] after collecting the [[Smash Ball]]. He then flies off into the sky, as the day suddenly turns to night. Olimar's ship goes completely out of sight, then a horde of Red Bulborbs from the ''Pikmin'' games start attacking opponents on the stage. These monsters continue to attack all the players on the stage, causing more damage the more players there are (4 players=47%) . However, an opposing player has a chance at stealing the KO, as Olimar is not on the stage to defeat the opposing players himself. This Final Smash is less powerful in a one-on-one match, but no one is capable of stealing the KO. After the Final Smash is done, Olimar crashes down with his ship, causing an explosion when he lands. This can cause heavy damage to anyone caught in the explosion, and a significant amount of knock-back.

| ===[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation===
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': Snake, have you ever heard of the ancient Chinese story, "The Vain Ocean of Wealth and Splendor" from the Zhen Zhong Ji?
| |
| *'''Snake''': I've been waiting for the movie.
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': Basically, it's meant to express the impermanence of all things. You know, like even when Captain Olimar has lots of Pikmin with him, they could all be gone the next moment. Those poor little guys--they carry, they fight, they multiply...and they get eaten. Olimar might have lots of company one minute and be all alone the next. It's so sad.
| |
| *'''Snake''': But he can pluck out more Pikmin anytime he wants, right?
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': Well, yeah, I suppose so.
| |
| *'''Snake''': No one truly fights alone. Not even me.
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': ...You're absolutely right, Snake. Good luck. I'm rooting for you.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| [[Image:Olimar Costumes.jpg|thumb|right|Olimar's costumes, which some have a similar appearance to others.]]
| |
| *Olimar was planned to make an appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' as one of the characters that appear when creating new brews in the [[Starbeans Cafe]]. In this appearance, his dialogue was written in the type of text box that appears whenever [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] get certain items, as though written in a log book like in the actual ''Pikmin'' games. He also names Mario "Marlio" (a complete anagram of "Olimar") and mistakes Luigi for a dangerous beast.<ref>[http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/m&lss_lost.shtml The Mushroom Kingdom]</ref>. However, [[Professor E. Gadd]] replaced all of the other characters in the final version of the game.
| |
| *One of Olimar's costumes makes him look very similar to his sidekick, [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Louie Louie] as well as [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/President the President of Hocotate Freight].
| |
| *In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', a baby that looks like Captain Olimar appears in a few scenes.
| |
| *In one of the sentences which Mei Ling says to Snake in the codec-conversation about Olimar ("they carry, they fight, they multiply...and they get eaten.") , it is a reference to the Japanese theme-song of the Pikmin, "Ai no Uta", which also appears as background music in ''Brawl''.
| |
| *A spaceship that resembles Olimar's ship from ''Pikmin 2'' appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]].
| |
| *His eyes never glow yellow if he has broken the [[Smash Ball]], not even if he is attacked.
| |
| *In Japanese, Olimar's name is オリマー (O-ri-ma-a), which are the characters for Mario, マリオ (Ma-ri-o), backwards (plus a long vowel).
