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]]. | Olimar is quite intellectual, as seen in his extensive writings and vocabulary.

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. | Olimar loves his family, but they ask a lot of him financially.

This is further shown in the Side Stories mission [[Looking for Louie]], where Olimar snaps at Louie but quickly 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 "had a way with" animals, 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. | ||

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.

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]].

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.

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. | ||
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. | As the ship is setting everything up for the ride, Olimar goes outside to meet the Pikmin for one final time.
