He wears a | He wears a spacesuit with a blue lapel, has blue-colored hair similar to [[Captain Olimar]]'s in shape, an average sized nose, freckles on his cheeks and pointy ears. His wide, round eyes are always open, much like when other characters such as Olimar or [[Louie]] are surprised. He is by far the shortest of all the playable [[leader]]s, and likely the youngest as well. Like the other crew members, he wears a bulky space suit with a transparent helmet and an antenna. His gloves and boots are the same shade of blue as his hair, as is the light atop the antenna. | ||

Based off his interactions with Brittany, he may be rather absentminded. Alph is also very interested in technological devices; on a related note, he is intelligent and a very capable engineer who configures objects found on PNF-404 for the crew to use on their quest for food.. In the different regional versions of the game, Alph's personality remains largely intact, barring some particular lines of dialogue. | ||

When the crew first attempts to land on [[PNF-404]], they encounter difficulties and all three members are ejected from the [[S.S. Drake]]. They all crash-land in different areas. Alph happens to fall into the [[Tropical Wilds]], the same area in which the Drake also landed with its auto-pilot. With the help of some local Pikmin, he builds a bridge and is able to reunite with his [[KopPad]] and the Drake. It is then up to him to rescue his coworkers by flying to the other areas with the Drake. Alph also seems a little talkative, as he gives the most Notes at the end of each day | When the crew first attempts to land on [[PNF-404]], they encounter difficulties and all three members are ejected from the [[S.S.

Alph is short for "Alpha", the term used for the letter A in the phonetic alphabet. This makes sense as Charlie is also used for letter C in the military alphabet; the initial of his name is also the same letter of his prototype name ("Character A"), just like [[Charlie]] and [[Brittany]]. | Alph is short for "Alpha", the term used for the letter A in the phonetic alphabet.
