'''Captain Olimar''' ({{j|キャプテン・オリマー|Kyaputen Orimā}}), also referred to as simply '''Olimar''' ({{j|オリマー|Orimā}}), is the main protagonist of the {{ps}}, and the main character in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{hp}}. Olimar appears as a supporting character in {{p3}} and even more so in {{p4}} with him even being playable in his own side story mode [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], being set right before the events of the game. He is from the planet [[Hocotate]], and while on several missions for his employer, [[Hocotate Freight]], he discovered [[PNF-404]] and on it, he teams up with the extraterrestrial species called [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. He has discovered all types of Pikmin (excluding Glow Pikmin) so far.
'''Captain Olimar''' ({{j|キャプテン・オリマー|Kyaputen Orimā}}), also referred to as just '''Olimar''', is the main protagonist of the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], although only the main character in the first two games. He discovered [[PNF-404]] and all types of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] so far. He works at [[Hocotate Freight]] and, in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]], owns and captains his ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]].


In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 4'', he owns and captains a spaceship called the [[S.S. Dolphin]], and in ''Hey! Pikmin'', he owns and captains the [[S.S. Dolphin II]]. He has a [[Minor characters#Olimar's family|family]] back on Hocotate, which includes his [[Minor characters#Olimar's wife|wife]], [[Minor characters#Olimar's son|son]], [[Minor characters#Olimar's daughter|daughter]], and [[Minor characters#Bulbie|dog]]. Olimar's writings in his [[Olimar's monologs|end-of-day monologs]], [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)#Olimar's notes|Piklopedia notes]], and [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)|exploration logs]] are a major source of information about the world in each game.
Olimar has a [[Minor characters#Olimar's family|family]] on [[Hocotate]], his home planet, and the currently known main members include his [[Minor characters#Olimar's wife|wife]], [[Minor characters#Olimar's son|son]], [[Minor characters#Olimar's daughter|daughter]] and his [[Minor characters#Bulbie|dog]]. In-game, [[Olimar's monologues in Pikmin|Olimar monologues some notes]] in ''Pikmin''; in the second game, they are replaced by [[Hocotate ship|the ship]]'s notes.


==Personality and appearance==
==Personality and appearance==
Olimar has three short brown tufts of hair and wears a light yellow spacesuit decorated with red lines and red gloves. He is 3.9 cm tall with his space suit on, from the feet to the top of the antenna, and 1.9 cm tall without.
Physically, Olimar has three short brown tufts of hair and wears a beige spacesuit, decorated with red lines and red gloves. He measures 1.9cm tall, 3.9cm tall with his space suit on, from the feet to the top of the antenna.


Olimar is quite intellectual, as seen in his extensive writings and vocabulary. He is also interested in science and presumably biology, taking [[Olimar's notes|notes]] and commenting on every [[treasure]] and [[enemy]] he discovers. These notes do contain [[Mistake#Biological classification inconsistencies|some errors]], likely because he's an alien and cannot fully understand or explain everything on PNF-404. In addition, he may have a knack for engineering as well, as he was once a mechanic and was the one who designed the [[Bowsprit]]. Despite this, Olimar is hinted to be relatively gullible (as shown in his log for the [[Extraordinary Bolt]]) and prefers his own incorrect explanations over correct ones, as shown in his notes for the [[Universal Com]] and the [[Preservation Door]]. His favorite color is red, which he associates with passion and emotion.{{cite quote|This is my favorite color. I love how it imbues passion and emotion into everything it touches.|Captain Olimar|his [[Treasure Catalog]] notes for the [[Uniquely You Goo]]}}
He is quite intellectual, judging from his writings, and has an interest in science and presumably biology, taking [[Olimar's notes|notes]] and commenting on every [[treasure]] and [[enemy]] he discovers. In addition, he might also have a knack for engineering, as he was once a mechanic and the one who designed the [[Bowsprit]].


Olimar loves his family, but they ask a lot of him financially. This is one of the reasons he enjoys time to himself. He takes his duty as a leader to the Pikmin very seriously, to the point that if a [[Pikmin extinction]] happens, he becomes very ashamed and claims that he will not be able to sleep during the night. Olimar is a calm, caring, honest, and responsible person, but he can be sarcastic and salty when annoyed. He was not portrayed as overly greedy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', but his [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)|journal entries]] in the US [[Region|version]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' reveal that he has developed a fixating interest in treasure.
He loves his family, but they often ask a lot of him when it comes to financial matters. This is one of the reasons he enjoys time to himself. Normally, Olimar is a calm and caring individual, and was not portrayed as overly greedy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', but his [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)|journal entries]] in US [[Region|version]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' reveal that he has developed a fixating interest in treasure.


According to his journal entry on the [[Impenetrable Cookie]], Olimar has a short temper toward matters of little importance. This  is further shown in the Side Stories mission [[Looking for Louie]], where Olimar snaps at Louie but soon feels guilty for doing so. Olimar also writes that he's ashamed of himself for becoming grumpier with age. He mentions that he has always "gotten along with" animals,{{cite quote|I guess I've always gotten along well with animals, but this is kind of pushing it...|Captain Olimar|a [[data file]]}} which can be seen in his fairly extensive Piklopedia journal entries on the various creatures on the planet. According to his entries on the [[Paradoxical Enigma]] and [[Harmonic Synthesizer]], he also considers himself a refined patron of the arts. Overall, Olimar is honest and sympathetic, has no problems questioning himself and his actions, and is fascinated by PNF-404's flora and fauna.

==Traits and abilities==
*Olimar is able to control Pikmin, using his [[whistle]] as a means of command. The Pikmin quite possibly see him as a leader and a hero.
*He can [[pluck]] or pull out Pikmin sprouts.
*Olimar can launch a [[punch]] attack to weaken enemies (or a three punch combo after obtaining the [[Rocket Fist]]).

[[File:Olimar guides Red Pikmin P1 art.png|thumb|left|150px|Olimar, followed by Red Pikmin.]]
While on an interstellar vacation from [[Hocotate]], Captain Olimar's ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], collides with a meteor, sending it hurtling toward an [[PNF-404|unknown planet]]. The next day, Olimar awakens on the planet's surface to find the S.S. Dolphin destroyed, and missing 30 of its [[Ship part|pieces]]. On top of this, the planet's oxygen is toxic for his species, leaving Olimar's life-support systems with only enough power for thirty days. Determined to escape, Olimar sets out to retrieve the ship's parts. While wandering around an area known as [[The Impact Site]], Olimar meets odd creatures that he calls [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] at their nest, an [[Onion]]. Olimar names both after foods from Hocotate that they resemble.
While on an interstellar vacation from [[Hocotate]], Captain Olimar's ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], collided with a meteor, causing it to fall and start to burn as it was crashing down to an [[PNF-404|unknown planet]].
 
The Dolphin lost 30 [[Ship part|pieces]], and the accident rendered Olimar unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he found the planet's atmosphere contained high amounts of oxygen, which is extremely poisonous to his species. Fortunately, Olimar landed next to the still barely functioning skeletal hull of the Dolphin. While wandering around an area he called [[The Impact Site]], Olimar met odd creatures that he called [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] at what could be considered their nest, an [[Onion]]. Both Pikmin and the Onions are named after famous foods Olimar often ate on [[Hocotate]].


The first type of Pikmin Olimar meets is the [[Red Pikmin]], who are able to produce more of their species with Olimar's help. Olimar finds his ship's [[Main Engine]] and commands the Pikmin to bring it back to the S.S. Dolphin's remains, allowing the S.S. Dolphin to at least lift off for the night and avoid the hostile nocturnal creatures that reside on PNF-404.
These [[Red Pikmin]] that he discovered were able to reproduce more Pikmin with Olimar's help. Olimar directed them to carry his ship's [[Main Engine]] back to The Dolphin's remains, which auto-repaired itself with the parts that Olimar and the Pikmin brought. This allowed the S.S. Dolphin at least lift off for the night and avoid the hostile nocturnal creatures that reside on PNF-404.


The following day, Olimar begins exploring the planet in search of ship pieces, discovering additional Pikmin types, including [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]], in the process. Olimar is able to find and recover all of the ship parts on the planet and restore the S.S. Dolphin to normal. Before leaving the planet, he bids farewell to the Pikmin, brings a bottle cap from the planet as a souvenir for his son, and takes notes on the wildlife.
As he was looking for more parts, he discovered additional Pikmin types, including [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] in two different areas. Luckily for Olimar, he was able to find and recover all of the ship parts on the planet and restore his ship's damage. Before he left, he took a bottle cap from the planet as a souvenir and took notes on the wildlife.

===Return to Hocotate===
===Return to Hocotate===
After Olimar's success on PNF-404, he was able to blast off the planet to return to Hocotate, see his family, and return to his normal life. After arriving at [[Hocotate Freight]], he met up with [[the President]] and a new employee named [[Louie]]. After landing his ship, he learned that the company was in debt, having to pay at least {{pokos|10,100}} for the loss of a [[golden Pikpik carrot]] shipment. Learning that the Dolphin was sold to help pay the debt, Olimar was so shocked he dropped the souvenir for his son. As the bottle cap rolled past Louie, an [[Hocotate ship|old ship]] was able to suck up the rusty bottle cap. Its pod analyzed the piece of salvage to be worth {{pokos|100}}, which lowered the debt to {{pokos|10,000}}. The President commanded Olimar and Louie to return to the Pikmin Planet and collect more [[treasure]] as a result.

As Olimar and Louie were heading to the [[Valley of Repose]], the ship collided with a tree branch, and the resulting impact jolted Louie out of the cockpit, leaving Olimar to search for him. Luckily for Olimar, he found a group of [[Red Pikmin]] fighting a lone [[Dwarf Bulborb]]. He was able to unite with Louie by using the Pikmin to squash the [[bag]] separating them. Before, Louie had discovered a treasure, and with the help of Olimar, they were able to forage it. They then discovered a series of [[cave]]s, [[area]]s, and new [[Pikmin family|Pikmin types]].

In the end, Olimar and Louie were able to pay the debt. Olimar blasted off the planet, but noticed that he somehow left Louie behind, but at too late a time to go back and rescue Louie immediately.

===The search for Louie===
After repaying the debt, Captain Olimar blasted off the planet but noticed that he somehow left Louie behind. Alas, it was too late, as he was going too fast to turn around and get him. After meeting the President once again to present him with all the treasures he and Louie found, the debt was fully paid.

Olimar then told the President that there was more treasure on the planet. The President, looking to increase Hocotate Freight's fortune, then decided to send Olimar and Louie back to the planet. Only then did he realize that Louie was missing. The President decided that he would join Olimar to search for Louie and to make their company even wealthier. The two went to the [[Wistful Wild]] to start their search and eventually found Louie in the [[Dream Den]], and rescued him after defeating the [[Titan Dweevil]].

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Captain Olimar is present only as a plot element but is a playable character in some [[Mission Mode]] stages, as well as being player 2's leader in [[Bingo Battle]] mode.
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Captain Olimar is present only as a plot element, but is a playable character in some [[Mission Mode]] stages, as well as being player 2's leader in [[Bingo Battle]] mode.
 
In ''Pikmin 3'', Olimar's unseen voyage is explained through [[Data File]]s the player can find throughout the game, as well as the [[Secret Files]]. ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' makes it fully playable as the [[Olimar's Assignment]] Side Story.
 
Due to the President's excessive spending as well as the failure of a new business venture, Olimar is sent back to [[PNF-404]] with Louie in search of even more treasure to repay Hocotate Freight's newly acquired second debt, with Olimar also intending to buy back the [[S.S. Dolphin]]. While they explore the planet, Olimar finds the Koppaites' [[cosmic drive key]] and takes it with him.
 
After a period of searching the planet for treasure, Olimar eventually discovers the [[Formidable Oak]], seeing something glittering at the top of it. Thinking it must be valuable gold, he climbs to the top, only to find it is actually a living creature, the [[Plasm Wraith]]. The creature eventually obsesses over Olimar, preventing him from leaving, yet doesn't harm him. Because of the wraith, each time Olimar attempts to escape, the Plasm Wraith triggers his [[Spacesuit|suit]]'s auto-sleep feature, preventing him from going through with it.
 
With help from Louie, [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]] are able to locate Olimar and subdue the Plasm Wraith just long enough for them to take off with Olimar.
 
In the [[Olimar's Comeback]] Side Story, Olimar and Louie successfully return to Hocotate with the Koppaites' help. However, the President is livid when he learns that the Hocotate Ship was left behind and destroyed, so he sends Olimar and Louie back to PNF-404 in an [[Escape Pod]] to recover the ship. Upon their return to the planet, Olimar and Louie reunite with the Pikmin, collect even more treasure as well as the parts of the Hocotate Ship, and return to Hocotate.
 
===''Pikmin 4''===
[[File:Olimar Leafling.png|thumb|Olimar's [[leafling]] form.]]
In {{p4}}, Olimar becomes stranded on PNF-404. While meeting with the Pikmin and recovering the parts of his ship, he befriends a space dog named [[Moss]], who helps him in his search. When Olimar recovers the [[Interstellar Radio]] with the help of Moss and the Pikmin, he uses it to send a distress signal. While he is ultimately successful in collecting all the parts of the S.S. Dolphin with their help, Olimar discovers that Moss had stowed away in the ship's cargo hold and is rapidly sickening. Realizing that she could not survive away from PNF-404, he tries to return to the planet to save her but crash-lands again. His life support system fails, and the Pikmin take him to an Onion, transforming him into a [[leafling]] with little memory of who he is.
 
When he wakes up as a leafling, Olimar finds a [[Trial of the Sage Leaf|mysterious cave]] at what is later known as the [[Rescue Command Post]]. It is unknown if he entered it. Olimar's behavior as a leafling includes taking [[Castaway]]s and turning them into leaflings.
 
One month later, the signal is intercepted by the [[Rescue Corps]], who set off to retrieve him before becoming in need of rescue themselves, leaving [[Pikmin 4 player character|their newest recruit]] to rescue both Olimar and the castaway members of the Rescue Corps. During the mission, the recruit encounters Olimar in his leafling form on several occasions, and Olimar does several [[Dandori Battle]]s with the recruit.
 
Olimar is eventually rescued and cured by the Rescue Corps but is forced to return to the planet when the Rescue Corps' Rescue Pup [[Oatchi]] begins to get sick in the same way that Moss did. Noticing the leaf that had been growing from Oatchi's tail, Olimar suspects that any organism with leaves like that of a Pikmin is unable to survive away from PNF-404. Oatchi was eventually returned to normal. However, Moss does not respond to the treatment, and Olimar decides to leave her behind, as this is where she was born and raised. The Rescue Corps, accompanied by Olimar, depart the planet for the final time, as the Pikmin follow Moss as their new leader.
 
===''Hey! Pikmin''===
In {{hp}}, Olimar flies on the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] until he comes across a shower of asteroids. He tries to dodge them but ends up getting hit, and the ship plummets into an alien planet, landing near a group of terrified Pikmin. After this, Olimar wakes up from the crash landing as the ship's pod assesses his and the ship's situation. After doing so, it concludes that the ship's fuel – the Sparklium supply – is completely empty. The pod picks up Sparklium signals and sends the captain onward, where the two stumble upon a wild Red Pikmin. After it is scared off, and the two continue going forward, Captain Olimar uses his whistle to bring out the Pikmin hiding in the weeds, only to realize there are actually four of them hiding, not just one. Moving forward a bit, the group discovers some Sparklium Seeds. It is at this point that the pod confirms that each seed contains one Sparklium, but Olimar needs 30 thousand to be able to escape. After the ship reassures the demoralized captain, everyone moves further onward, finds some more seeds, and the tutorial level is completed.


Throughout the rest of the adventure, Olimar explores different areas, one at a time, gathering Sparklium Seeds and treasures along the way. There are two primary goals; the first is obtaining 30,000 Sparklium in order to fully power the ship again, and the second is searching for a missing key component of the S.S. Dolphin II, the Sparklium Converter, which is needed to return home. This final piece can be obtained from the last sector, The Final Stretch.
In ''Pikmin 3'', Olimar's unseen voyage is explained through [[Data File]]s the player can find throughout the game, as well as the [[Secret Files]].


In order to get home, Captain Olimar needs to find 30,000 Pokos and the Sparklium Converter. The ship does not know where the Sparklium Converter is, so the player needs to play through all eight main sectors, gathering Sparklium along the way. Once all eight sectors are finished and the Sparklium count reaches 30,000, the ship detects the Sparklium Converter in a new sector, The Final Stretch. Here, he battles against the fearsome Berserk Leech Hydroe, and after winning the fight, it is revealed that the Leech Hydroe that had taken control of the monster is holding the Sparklium Converter. After its defeat, the creature drops the ship part and then scurries away. The captain recovers the ship part and prepares to go home.
Due to to the [[President]]'s excessive spending and failure of a new business venture, Olimar is sent back to [[PNF-404]] with Louie in search of even more treasure to buy back the [[S.S. Dolphin]] and repay Hocotate Freight's newly acquired second debt. However, the [[Hocotate ship]] lands near a massive creature known as a [[Quaggled Mireclops]], which destroys it, leaving Olimar and Louie stranded. As they explore the planet, they inadvertently pick up the Koppaites' [[cosmic drive key]].


As the ship is setting everything up for the ride, Olimar goes outside to meet the Pikmin for one final time. As he and a group of different Pikmin are frolicking around, the ship's pod calls him over, and he sorrowfully walks away from the Pikmin. At first, they follow him, but after they realize what is happening, they stop and stare at Olimar as he is getting beamed up into the ship's pod. As the ship takes off, the Pikmin all get inside the nearby Onion. The two blast off into space, but the Onion can only follow the ship up so far until it stays behind. The ship keeps going, eventually activates the warp, and disappears.
After a while, Olimar starts to enjoy the search for treasure, and even becomes tempted by it. He at one point writes in his diary that he is sick of the President getting everything, and how easy it would be to take just one piece of gold. Olimar eventually discovers the Formidable Oak, seeing something glittering at the top of it. Thinking it must be valuable gold, he climbs to the top, only to find it is actually a living creature, the [[Plasm Wraith]]. The creature eventually obsesses over Olimar, preventing him from leaving, yet doesn't harm him. Because of the wraith, each time Olimar attempts to escape, his [[Spacesuit|suit]]'s auto-sleep feature prevents him from going through with it.


After this, the credits roll. In the cutscene after the credits, a scene similar to the intro plays out, except instead of Olimar coming face to face with asteroids, he sees Hocotate in the distance. The ending finishes with the S.S. Dolphin II flying towards Olimar's home planet.
With the help of Louie, [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]] are able to locate Olimar and subdue the Plasm Wraith just long enough for them to take off with Olimar.

Olimar is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He commands his Pikmin in battle and is almost entirely dependent on them. Olimar is able to pluck new Pikmin from the ground at any time, and he can have up to six or three with him at once (depending on the game).

Olimar is able to pluck new Pikmin from the ground at any time, and he can have up to six or three with him at once (depending on the game).
 
As with most other characters in ''Smash'', Olimar's design has multiple details not seen in the original games. His space suit has visible seams and straps, and his sleeves are decorated with the [[Hocotate Freight]] logo. Additionally, his backpack now has what appear to be ports for plugs of different shapes and sizes.
 
The Pikmin, as in the original series, are fragile and can be defeated easily, but each of the five types has special unique properties (for example, the Red Pikmin are stronger than average and have fire-based attacks, as well as flame resistance). The Pikmin Olimar plucks are chosen at random in ''Brawl'' and appear in a set order starting in ''Smash 4''.
 
Olimar's Final Smash is called End of Day, during which he leaves the arena via his spaceship as [[Day#Sunset|night]] falls. The players left behind are attacked by feeding Bulborbs and can be further damaged when Olimar's ship returns and explodes on impact. Although Olimar's Pikmin are left behind too, they go unharmed.


In the Subspace Emissary, the adventure mode of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Olimar serves a minor role as one of three people to investigate the Isle of the Ancients, (the other two being Samus and Captain Falcon). He gets there using the Hocotate Ship, which gets stuck. He uses his Pikmin to attempt to take down a massive R.O.B., when Captain Falcon jumps out of his vehicle and destroys the machine with a Falcon Punch, killing most of Olimar's Pikmin in the process. The two go forward together, and Olimar goes into the depths of the island, fighting the Subspace army along the way, and meeting up with several others. He is present for the destruction of the island and the fight against Meta-Ridley as the group escapes in the Falcon Flyer.

After the escape, Olimar uses the Hocotate Ship, which somehow got off the island itself, to enter Subspace, dodging fire from the Gunship with his piloting skills. Olimar is subsequently turned into a trophy by Tabuu's off waves, along with most other fighters. Saved by King Dedede, alongside Luigi and Ness, Olimar is present for the final portion of the game, the Great Maze, and the fight against Tabuu.

[[File:Olimar Pikmin.png|thumb|Olimar as "Pikmar".]]
[[File:Olimar Pikmin.png|thumb|Olimar as "Pikmar".]]
Olimar becomes a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] (dubbed by fans as '''Pikmar''' or '''Olimin''') in the bad 'alternative' ending of {{p1}}, where the [[S.S. Dolphin]] fails to take off and crashes on the planet again; Olimar is then carried to the [[Red Onion]] by some Pikmin and ejected as a seed consisting of only his head and a small stem with leaf. Judging by the sounds and visual effects, he appears to flourish to his former size similar to the way Pikmin first grow.

Judging by the sounds and visual effects, he appears to flourish to his former size similar to the way Pikmin first grow.


This ending is not considered [[canon]] with the rest of the series as in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' he is seen proceeding to land on [[Hocotate]] in his [[S.S. Dolphin|ship]] and so must have obtained at least the 25 mandatory [[ship part]]s. Olimar in this form is only ever seen buried, so the rest of his appearance is unknown. It should also be noted that the model used in the in-game cutscene only contains a head.

It should also be noted that the model used in the in-game cutscene only contains a head.
 
Why the Onion transforms him instead of turning him into true Pikmin seeds is unknown. However, it is worth noting that the Pikmin silently watch as he is spat out and cheer as he begins to grow, indicating that they expected the transformation to occur. In-game, when Pikmin [[Lie down|carry Olimar]] to their Onion, he is not affected in any way and merely bounces off the alien mother-ship. As such, the process may be controlled by the Pikmin themselves. A similar process occurs in ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' when Olimar is turned into a [[leafling]], and even occurs in very similar if not identical circumstances.

*Olimar was planned to appear in ''[[mariowiki:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. The captain was set to come in and taste the player's coffee, call Mario "Marlio" (an anagram of "Olimar"), and somehow mistake Luigi for a giant, scary beast. The scene was not used in the final release, and Olimar was replaced by Professor E. Gadd who was initially meant to make only one appearance, but needed a larger role.
*Olimar was supposed to make a [[cameo]] appearance in ''[[mariowiki:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. The captain was to come in and taste the player's coffee. However, this never occurred, as the scene was canceled. He was also planned to call Mario "Marlio" (an anagram of "Olimar") and somehow mistake Luigi for a beast.
*In ''[[mariowiki:Yoshi's Island DS|Yoshi's Island DS]]'', a baby similar in appearance to Olimar is present in a few scenes.

*One of the key items in ''[[Mario:Super Paper Mario|Super Paper Mario]]'', the [[Mario:Helmet|Helmet]] has a large resemblance to Olimar's helmet. It even includes an antenna with a red light beacon.
*Although not seen, the player can get a message from Olimar in the [[Wii]] game ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: City Folk|Animal Crossing: City Folk]]'', which reads: {{transcript|I found this odd little hat on my travels. It looks just like one of those cute little creatures I've met in outer space! Have fun wearing it! &ndash; From Captain Olimar.}}. When the player finishes reading the letter, they get an item called the "Red Pikmin Hat", which looks like a [[Red Pikmin]]'s stem with a leaf. A "life size" model of his [[S.S. Dolphin|ship]] has also been released.

*The bad [[cutscene|ending]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' is possibly referenced in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', as one of Olimar's ship logs in a [[Data File]] states that he had a nightmare that the Pikmin dragged him into their [[Onion]] after being injured by a creature.

*The trophy for Olimar in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' serves as a trophy for the Pikmin and Olimar, as they fight together as a single fighter. The trophy [[Mistake|mistakenly]] calls them "veteran spacefarers", even though that does not apply to the Pikmin, only to Olimar.

*Olimar also seems to have {{w|trypophobia}}, the fear of clusters of holes or bumps, as he gets very nervous while looking at a treasure with many holes around it.{{cite quote|It's...a nest of some kind? I'm too nervous to see what lives in it. I...I don't need to analyze all of these things! It's not my job!|Captain Olimar|his notes on the [[Unexamined Nest]]}} He even gives the [[Stuffed Bellbloom]] a species name of ''trypophobis'', a clear reference to the fear.

*In the French translation of {{hp}}, in the [[red pellet]]'s notes, Olimar states that Red Pikmin are his favorite Pikmin.
*Olimar's voice is higher-pitched than Louie's, as seen in-game, during [[cutscene]]s, and even in [[Secret File]]s. However, this is not the case in a few cutscenes of ''Pikmin 3'': when Louie breaks out of the S.S. Drake in the [[Garden of Hope]], or when he interrupts Olimar with "Food!" during the ending cutscene, his voice is higher pitched than normal.
