'''Captain Charlie''' ({{j| | '''Captain Charlie''' ({{j|チャーリー|Chārī}}), also commonly referred to as '''Charlie''', is one of the three playable [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. He wears a spacesuit with a green lapel and a star-shaped badge on its left side. He has an average-sized nose, a dark brown mohawk and a tiny mustache, and like Alph, has eyes that are wide open at all times. His skin is also the most tan out of the three explorers. He, along with [[Brittany]] and [[Alph]], come from the planet [[Koppai]] in search of a new food source for their planet, and serves as the captain of their space-faring vessel, the [[S.S. Drake]]. He also takes a [[Rubber Ugly|rubber ducky]] with him on every mission for good luck. He is revered as a hero on Koppai, being described by Alph as "one of Koppai's greatest legends". | ||

When Pikmin 3 was translated for European audiences, his personality had been kept mostly the same, but after the game was ported to America, Nintendo of America changed most of his personality for unknown reasons. | |||
There are many parts in the game's story where Charlie tries to show his deep affection towards Brittany, only to be interrupted by some other, pressing matter. | Charlie is shown as a very capable, level-headed leader and shows a lot of care and a sense of protection towards the people he loves and respects. In some reports it's revealed that he prefers to stay vigilant near the S.S. Drakes door to protect his crewmates and greatly appreciates their presence, since he was often alone in space during his youth as a ranger. Charlie also shows great interest in the natural landscapes of PNF-404, as he considers the beauty of the plants and flowers to have moved him in a way that's difficult to describe. Charlie also seems to have a really keen interest towards ducks, demonstrating a lot of knowledge about them, owning a Rubber Ducky as a lucky charm and having a pet duck named Elizabeth whom he describes as his soulmate. | ||
There are many parts in the game's story where Charlie tries to show his deep affection towards Brittany, only to be interrupted by some other, pressing matter. His crush on Brittany is further accentuated in several reports where he plans to collect a few flowers as a present for Brittany and where he describes that, if he has to throw a crew member, he would always choose Alph first because "You shouldn't throw away the things you love..." | |||
In the North American release, however, Charlie's affection towards Brittany is removed, and instead, is replaced by him having a massive ego, giving self-praising, boastful statements. For example, in the European version, after being rescued from the Vehemoth Phosbat, he states something along the lines of {{transcript|To be honest, Brittany, the only face I could think of while being inside that beast was yours.}} right before being interrupted. But in the American version, he states, {{transcript|To be honest, Brittany, there was only one life I thought about when I was trapped in there... my own.}} The reasoning behind this was unknown. | |||
