Olimar is featured as one of the playable characters in this third game of the series, and is on the starting roster (as opposed to being a secret character that needs to be unlocked). Nearly all of his moves involve the Pikmin, making him dependent on them. Even the simple "grab", in which the player holds an opponent, requires Pikmin. Up to six of these can be plucked from the ground, the color is randomly determined (however, the type of ground is a factor in the probability of picking each color). The range of Pikmin covers all of those that are found in [[Pikmin 2]] except [[Bulbmin]]. The Pikmin are immune to attacks when they are with Olimar but if they are away from him they can be killed rather easily. Olimar does not take damage when this happens, and each dead one allows one more to be pulled from the ground.

Olimar's moves differ in damage, knockback and range depending on the type and number of Pikmin he has following him.

;Neutral special attack – Pikmin Pluck:This move allows Olimar to pluck a Pikmin, of which there can exist up to six for one player. The type of Pikmin plucked is noticeably dependent on the area picked in. This move can only be performed on the ground, and using it while running with five or fewer Pikmin stops Olimar instantly.

;Side special attack – Pikmin Throw:Olimar throws Pikmin, which stick to the opponent and do damage, much as they would to enemies in the Pikmin games. [[Purple Pikmin]], however deliver knockback to the foe ''instead'' of clinging to the opponent. [[White Pikmin]] are particularly effective in this attack because they do three times the damage of any other Pikmin. It should be noted that the high-angled throw of [[Yellow Pikmin]] is preserved from the Pikmin games, but that their motion is also slow. White Pikmin move quickly and horizontally when thrown, and Purple Pikmin land short.

;Down special attack – Pikmin Order:Olimar calls any idle Pikmin to him, which are then organized by color. If this is already the case, the move cycles through the Pikmin, and the order is the same as in Pikmin 2. During the few frames before blowing his whistle, Olimar is invulnerable to knockback, though he can still take damage and be grabbed. The benefit, then, is that a counter attack can be made more quickly than if Olimar had shielded.

;Up special attack – Pikmin Chain:Olimar releases his Pikmin all together at an angle that can be somewhat varied. The move has a high range, proportional to the number of Pikmin at Olimar's side, and fair knockback. Its speed suits the purpose of a surprise attack. Its main purpose is as a form of recovery from off the stage, but it cannot grab an edge that an opponent is hanging onto (unless a Purple is at the tip). This special move is the longest tether recovery in the game.

;Final Smash – End Of Day: Olimar takes off in his spaceship (which traps and hurts enemies, doing about 27% damage from entering to take-off) , leaving his opponents alone for [[Bulborbs]] to attack them. During the duration of the Bulborb attacks, the opponents receive about 47% damage. Afterwards, the ship crash lands back onto the stage, hurting (34%) anyone in its path. Despite being left behind, Olimar's Pikmin are unharmed. The ship is a Meteor Smash if it hits a foe in midair. Another possible use of End of Day therefore is to edgeguard by intercepting recovering enemies with the ship.

There is a stage based on the [[Awakening Wood]], named the ''Distant Planet''. [[Red Bulborb]]s appear on occasion, which can eat players, and some human-made objects are visible, such as an [[Utter Scrap|empty drinks can]]. [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] are seen too, and can produce [[Pellet]]s that, when be thrown into [[onion|Pikmin onions]], produce items.

Louie is a trophy, and the trophy information for him is as reads: ''A new Hocotate Freight employee. Louie is responsible for Captain Olimar having to venture back to the Pikmin planet. On his first delivery, Louie was supposedly attacked by a space bunny that devoured his whole lot of pikpik carrots. Pushed to the verge of bankruptcy, Hocotate Freight takes out an enormous loan that Louie and Olimar set out to pay back.''
