Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for 3DS and Wii U^?), also collectively and unofficially referred to as Super Smash Bros. 4, are the 4th games in the Super Smash Bros. series, as both games are essentially the same with some minor differences. Several Pikmin related elements return from Brawl, such as Olimar being a playable character, and the Distant Planet stage being on the 3DS version of the game. At the same time, many new elements from the Pikmin series also make a debut.

Olimar & Pikmin

Official artwork of Olimar from the Super Smash Bros. 4 website.

Olimar returns as a veteran fighter, retaining much of the moveset he had in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Olimar is lighter in this installment.

Olimar's moves

Olimar keeps many of his standard moves from the previous game. Like every veteran, many moves have gone through a slight adjustment.

Standard Special move

Pikmin Pluck: Olimar plucks Pikmin. However, as stated, he can only carry three Pikmin, and to make the Pikmin use more strategy based, the Pikmin come in a set order (Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, repeat). The Pikmin that is next in line to be thrown has a pointer above its head. In the 3DS version, all Pikmin stay in their leaf stage and cannot develop buds or flowers.

Side Special move

Pikmin Throw: He throws Pikmin, and the Pikmin, unless Purple, will latch on and attack. Purples knock the victim back. In general, Pikmin are thrown further than they were in Brawl. In the Wii U version, Pikmin may also carry small items back if thrown at one, such as Pitfalls and Capsules.

Up Special move

Winged Pikmin: Two Winged Pikmin appear and lift Olimar and his Pikmin up. Opposite to his recovery move in Brawl, Pikmin Chain, the more Pikmin he currently has, the worse his recovery is.

Down Special move

Call to Order: Just like in Brawl, all wayward Pikmin are called back. Unfortunately, There are far fewer super armor frames than there were in Brawl.

Final Smash

Olimar maintains the same Final Smash, End of Day, from his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, the ship now plummets downward to the stage instead of falling upright. It has a larger blast radius as well. The player can also adjust where Olimar lands.

Olimar and Alph as seen on Pic of the Day.

Alph

Alph was first leaked by a leaker a week prior to the 3DS version's release in Japan. At the time, it was not known if Alph was a new character or an alternate costume.

A few days later, on September 11^th, 2014, Sakurai confirmed that Alph was an alternate costume for Olimar. He functions exactly the same as Olimar, even when it comes to the stage introduction and Final Smash. In other words, Alph still enters out of the Hocotate Ship when entering the stage, and still uses the Hocotate Ship for his Final Smash. He, like Olimar, is unable to use Rock Pikmin. Alph's model is slightly scaled-up, making him slightly larger than he was in Pikmin 3 in order to match Olimar's proportions, so that they wouldn't have to make an entirely new model for him.

Posts by Sakurai

"Pic of the day. The hero from Pikmin 3, Alph joins the battle!! He has pretty much the same set skills as Olimar since he's basically just his variation. He can't use Rock Pikmin either."

"They are different characters, so they each get their own title treatment on the character-selection screen. See? It says Alph."

Palette Swaps

Olimar retains his red spacesuit from Brawl. His green color has gone through changes, as well has his white one. Alph has green and pink suits based off of Charlie and Brittany, respectively. He also has a red suit that resembles Olimar himself.

Custom Moves

Like the other characters in the game, Olimar comes with 2 alternate moves for each of his special attacks, as well as exclusive equipment.

Standard Specials

• Hardy Pikmin Pluck: It takes longer to Pluck Pikmin, but they are more resistant, taking more damage to kill.
• Explosive Pikmin Pluck: Again, it takes longer to pluck Pikmin, but plucking them causes a small explosion that can damage opponents. However, Pikmin are easier to kill, and may even die without being attacked, forcing Olimar to pluck more Pikmin. The amount of damage given by the explosion also depends on the Pikmin type.

Side Specials

• Sticky Pikmin Throw: Pikmin are harder to shake off, but they deal less damage.
• Tackle Pikmin Throw: All Pikmin behave like Purple Pikmin and do not latch onto enemies.

Up Specials

• Winged Pikmin Jump: The recovery is faster, but upon parting ways with the Winged Pikmin, Olimar immediately falls into the helpless state. This attack also requires to be recharged. The attack gets weaker with each consecutive use; at full charge, Olimar has a lot better vertical recovery than the regular move.
• Mighty Winged Pikmin: The recovery has a set amount of travel distance.

Down Specials

• Order Tackle: Upon being called back, the Pikmin travel at a high arc and damage any opponent they hit. If they were latched onto someone, there's also a chance that opponent will be brought back with them. However, the move has ending lag, leaving Olimar vulnerable.
• Dizzy Whistle: All opponents within the vicinity of the attack gets slipped around and take slight damage, similar to Mario's cape.

Equipment

To do: Find all missing equipment. Care to do so?

Olimar has 3 equipment classes, in addition to the standard ones, which he can equip: Pikmin, Space Suit, and Boots, which correlate with Attack, Defense, and Speed respectively. There are a total of 23 Equipment pieces that are exclusive to Olimar and Alph only.

Easter Eggs

File:BoxingRing.jpeg

Alph and Olimar's aliases in the Boxing Ring.

In the Boxing Ring stage, Olimar's alias is "Veteran Astronaut". Alph's is "Astronaut in Training". This is referring to the fact that Olimar has been on many space adventures, yet Alph has only been on one known adventure.

Guidance Conversations are conversations Pit and Palutena can have on the Palutena's Temple stage. These conversations give details about a fighter Pit is facing. The Guidance Conversation regarding Captain Olimar and Alph features Pit, Palutena, and Viridi. It is written below:

Pit: "Oh, it's that explorer guy."

Palutena: "Did you know that Pikmin are named after Pikpik carrots, a vegetable native to Hocotate?"

Pit: "Huh. Guess you learn something new every day."

Viridi: "Enough with the pointless fun facts. Let's talk fighting strategy. Here's what I know about these Pikmin."

"Red Pikmin are strong!"

"Yellow Pikmin fly high!"

"Blue Pikmin have the mightiest throw!"

"White Pikmin are fastest!"

"Purple Pikmin are heavy and the most powerful!"

"Be sure you remember all this, Pit."

Pit: "Uh, right."

Palutena: "There are also Winged Pikmin that don't attack you."

"Numerous Pikmin will weigh down the Winged Pikmin. And that's when you should attack!"

Stages

Garden of Hope

Main article: Garden of Hope.

A stage based on the eponymous Garden of Hope will be available in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. For the most part, the layout is identical to that of the Pikmin 3 area, with some changes to make it more akin to a Smash Bros. battle arena. One of the key hazards in the area is the Peckish Aristocrab. It scuttles around, knocking down the fragmented teacup and knocking back fighters who touch it. Wild Pikmin can fix the damage caused by the crab. Fighters can destroy the teacup and the climbing stick as well.

Distant Planet

Main article: PNF-404.

The Distant Planet stage is present as a Brawl Stage in the 3DS version. As a whole, not much has changed from Brawl, aside from some minor changes in the background. Just like in Brawl, the stage seems based off of The Forest of Hope and the Awakening Wood.

The Omega form of this stage takes away all the vegetation and leaves a simple dirt platform to fight on. This form also provides a better view of the background.

Hocotate Bomb

File:Hocotate Ship SSB4.jpeg

The Hocotate Ship Bomb item, with Olimar and Sonic looking at it.

The Hocotate Bomb is a new item in both versions of the game. On Miiverse and the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U official website, Sakurai posted an image of Sonic and Olimar next to a small model of the Hocotate Ship, in which he stated that it is a new bomb item that, when triggered, flies up in the air, then crashes back down much like the Warp Star item. However, it should be noted that the bomb will crash down abruptly, giving no indication of when it will drop. The explosion it causes is quite big, and could result in a KO if it hits an opponent. The Hocotate Ship is still used for Olimar's Final Smash, End of Day. Oddly enough, the trophy for the Hocotate Ship actually describes this item.

Post by Sakurai

"Pic of the day. Is this a spaceship from Hocotate? No-this is a bomb SHAPED like a spaceship. After liftoff, it will drop down when you least expect it."

Smash Run

The Red Bulborb on a floating platform in Smash Run.

2 enemies from the Pikmin series appear in the 3DS exclusive mode, Smash Run.

Red Bulborb

The Red Bulborb appears in Smash Run. It is a basic enemy that attacks by charging and biting. It seems to be based off of its Pikmin 2 design, having purple eyes instead of blue. The Bulborb's attacks pack a massive punch and have a large amount of health, making them a formidable foe; arguably one of the hardest. It has a simple charging attack, a biting attack, and even a backwards jumping attack to attack players behind it. It is a semi-rare enemy to find.

Iridescent Glint Beetle

File:GlintBeetleSmash.png

The Glint Beetle in Smash Run.

The Iridescent Glint Beetle is one of the rarest in Smash Run, only appearing in small caves that are normally out of the way. It will only reveal itself after walking over its hiding place. Once it pops out, hitting it will cause it to release golden coins. The more times you hit it, the more cash you get.

Post by Sakurai

"There are other bonus characters that appear in this game, too. Here's an Iridescent Glint Beetle from the Pikmin series. Keep hitting it!! Keep hitting it for gold!!"

Smash Tour

In the Wii U exclusive mode Smash Tour, a Yellow Wollywog and the Plasm Wraith can appear on a space. The Yellow Wollywog trophy can be used on the board, and nullifies any trap that the user steps on. The Plasm Wraith trophy has can only be used in-battle, and will heal the player if they block attacks using a shield. The Iridescent Glint Beetle will also occasionally appear on the board, and will drop extra fighters if a player bumps into it. The Iridescent Glint Beetle usually appears 2 at a time.

Trophies

Trophies are a key part of the Super Smash Bros. franchise, and there are quite a few Pikmin trophies.

3DS version

A good amount of trophies from the Pikmin franchise are present in the 3DS version, but not nearly as many as the number of trophies in Brawl. They are listed below.

Name	Picture	Description
Olimar		File:NAFlag.png: "A veteran spaceship pilot for Hocotate Freight, Captain Olimar parters with Pikmin in Smash Bros. to help him battle. Olimar is much stronger when he's got Pikmin with him, so keep them plucked and good to go. Pikmin abilities are based on their color —learn what each is best at!" File:EuropeFlag.png: "Captain Olimar, veteran Hocotate Freight astronaut, joins forces with Pikmin again in this game to take on the world. Olimar isn't much of an attacker without Pikmin by his side, so you should always keep some ready. Pikmin have different abilities depending on their colour, so learn how they work to use them effectively!"
Olimar (Alt.)		File:NAFlag.png: "Pikmin aren't just good for attacking, you know. For example, when you throw them, they can pick up items on their way back. Only items that aren't very heavy, though! Also, if there's someone charging or shooting at you, a well-timed Pikmin throw can stop them in their tracks!" File:EuropeFlag.png: "Pikmin aren't just good for attacking,you know. For example, when you throw them, they can pick up items on their way back. Only items that aren't very heavy, but still! Also, if there's someone charging or shooting at you, a well-timed Pikmin-throw can stop them. Just don't forget to replace your Pikmin when they're gone!"
Alph		File:NAFlag.png: "Alph is a young explorer who crashed on the planet PNF-404. As the engineer of the S.S. Drake, he feels responsible for finding the missing crew and the ship after the crash. Waking up in a pond, Alph quickly encounters a tiny creature— it's a Pikmin!" File:EuropeFlag.png: "A member of the crew that crash-landed on PNF-404. This young engineer is seperated from the rest of the team during landing, but as an engineer, he's just as worried about their ship, the SS Drake. While looking for his crewmates and ship, Alph encounters some strange yet helpful creatures..."
Louie		File:NAFlag.png: "Louie worked for Hocotate Freight in Pikmin 2. His appetite has gone into overdrive in Pikmin 3. Rescued from a swarm of Scornets by Alph and crew, Louie thanked them the next day by stealing all of the food they'd collected. Maybe he should work on his manners more than getting a meal..." File:EuropeFlag.png: "Louie was one of the main characters from Hocotate in Pikmin 2. In Pikmin 3, he's got a super appetite, to say the least. Alph and crew saved him from a swarm of Scornets, only for him to run off with all their food the very next day! It seems like someone should think a little less about food, and a little more about apologizing."
Hocotate Bomb		File:NAFlag.png: "With the outward appearance of a Hocotate Freight ship, this is actually a bomb in disguise! Arm it by throwing it on the ground, and give it a nudge if you're impatient. It'll fly up into the sky, returning a short time later and exploding. Force your foes into the landing zone!" File:EuropeFlag.png: "The flagship of Hocotate Freight has been reinvented as...a bomb! To arm it, throw it, then wait. Or give it a nudge - up to you. It'll shoot up in the air, then after a bit, fall back down to its starting point and go off. Try to remember where it was set off - you really don't want to get caught in the blast."
Red Pikmin		File:NAFlag.png: "This Pikmin has a red body and a long, pointy nose. It was the first type of Pikmin Olimar ever met. In Smash Bros., they have the second highest attack power among the Pikmin. Like their fiery color suggests, they can attack with flames and withstand them." File:EuropeFlag.png: "Telling Red Pikmin apart from the other Pikmin is easy: These ones have long, pointy noses. Also, they're red. They're the very first kind of Pikmin Olimar finds on their planet, and their high attack power makes them very useful. In this game, they can deal powerful attacks, and they're very resistant to fire damage."
Yellow Pikmin		File:NAFlag.png: "This yellow Pikmin is sporting some pointy things on its head. Maybe those are ears? Hmm... Anyway, yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity and are the lightest Pikmin in the Pikmin series. In Smash Bros., a thrown yellow Pikmin will fly through the air in a nice curve, zapping anyone it comes in contact with." File:EuropeFlag.png: "Yellow Pikmin have big, sharp ears and conduct electricity very well. These two facts are most likely unrelated. Olimar's side special can throw this Pikmin high into the air and cause electrical damage to all fighters who stray too close!"
Blue Pikmin		File:NAFlag.png: "This blue Pikmin walks around with its mouth ajar. At home in the water, they're very helpful when objects are submerged and need retrieving. In Smash Bros., blue Pikmin have defense second only to purple Pikmin. They are also able to do more damage when thrown, so don't be shy about hurling them at foes." File:EuropeFlag.png: "The things that make blue Pikmin different from all the other Pikmin are that they have mouths that they're pretty good swimmers. They're slightly hardier than most other Pikmin, and they do more damage when you throw them. So, as soon as you get one of these, make sure to throw it right away!"
White Pikmin		File:NAFlag.png: "These tiny, white Pikmin have bright-red eyes. They are the fastest of the Pikmin, perfect for finding and retrieving hidden treasure. In Smash Bros., you can use them to poison your enemies. Since they can fly the farthest of any Pikmin when thrown, use them to poison enemies from afar." File:EuropeFlag.png: "These small, fast-footed Pikmin are white with red eyes. That ominous look they have might give you the chills, and you'd be right to be scared - the little blighters are poisonous! In this game, they'll hang on to any enemy you throw them at and generously share their venom with them."
Purple Pikmin		File:NAFlag.png: "These purple Pikmin are the strongest, but they're also slower and heavier. In Pikmin, they can be thrown at animals to stun them! In Smash Bros., they're great for attacking and launching, but they've got a pretty short reach. Get close to your foe to make these little ones truly effective!" File:EuropeFlag.png: "These purple Pikmin are much stronger than their colourful counterparts, but they're also slower and heavier. In Pikmin, they can be thrown at animals to stun them! In this game, they're good at both attacking and launching, but since they haven't got good reach, you'll need to get up close and personal with your foes first!"
Rock Pikmin		File:NAFlag.png / File:EuropeFlag.png: "These Pikmin are made of solid rock, so they can stand up to a lot of attacks and won't get hurt when they get stepped on. They specialize in body blows, dealing a lot of damage when thrown, and they can also break right through glass and crystal. They can't latch on to other creatures, though. But that's OK—nobody's perfect!"
Winged Pikmin		File:NAFlag.png: "These pink Pikmin have big, blue eyes and nice wings to help them fly. In Smash Bros., they show up to carry Olimar and friends through the air. However, how high and far they can fly is affected by how many friends they have to carry. More Pikmin will weigh them down." File:EuropeFlag.png: "This particular type of Pikmin has a pink body, blue eyes and...wings? Yep, they can fly, and in this game, they can even give Olimar a lift. The only thing is they'll get tired very easily, especially if they're carrying lots of other Pikmin at the same time. Go easy on them, OK?"
Bulborb		File:NAFlag.png: "These creatures from the Pikmin series have snail-like protruding eyes, huge mouths, and really bad tempers. They're known for snapping at fighters and trying to trample them underfoot. If you see one in a group of enemies, you should try to take it out fast—it'll shoot off and bounce around, hitting other enemies as it goes!" File:EuropeFlag.png: "These creatures from the Pikmin series have snail-like protruding eyes, huge mouths and really bad tempers. They're known for snapping at fighters and trying to trample them underfoot. If you see one in a group of enemies, you should try to take it out first - it'll shoot off and bounce around, hitting other enemies as it goes!"
Iridescent Glint Beetle		File:NAFlag.png: "Hope you're not scared of bugs... In Pikmin, these guys drop nectar, but in Smash Run they drop coins instead. They hide, waiting for fighters to get too close...then strike! They're tough to catch, but your reward for success is coins, coins, coins. They'll slink away to sulk after being properly robbed." File:EuropeFlag.png: "Hope you're not scared of insects... These guys can drop nectar in Pikmin, but in this game, they carry coins instead. They'll leap out of the ground when a fighter gets close, and scurry around madly. They're hard to hit, but you'll just have to keep at it if you want these coins! Once they've dropped all their spoils, they'll go underground and sulk. Aw."
Pellets		File:NAFlag.png: "A crystallized nectar that contains the essence of the Pikmin's home world, these pellets are most often harvested from the plant life of the planet. Each pellet displays a number on its surface, and this number may increase over time. The Onion generates more Pikmin with bigger numbers." File:EuropeFlag.png: "The crystallised essence of the Pikmin's home planet. You'll need these things if you want more Pikmin, so harvest them by attacking the Pellet Posy they come from. By the way, keep an eye on the number on the front - it goes up little by little, and the higher it goes, the more items you'll get when you lob the pellet at an Onion!"

Wii U version

To do: Finish adding all European descriptions. Care to do so?

Since the Wii U version featured many more trophies from console games, there are many more Pikmin trophies in this version. The ones known are listed below.

Olimar returns when dawn breaks, and you can adjust his less-than-safe landing!"

To arm it, throw it, then wait. Or give it a nudge - up to you. It'll shoot up in the air, then after a bit, fall back down to its starting point and go off. Try to remember where it was set off - you really don't want to get caught in the blast." Related Games File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin (06/2002) File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (10/2004)
S.S. Drake		Space Explorers	File:NAFlag.png: "While its name may remind you of the famous explorer Sir Francis Drake, this ship is actually named after Alph's grandfather. After the S.S. Drake crash-lands, Alph finds his way back to it and soon gets it working. However, the crew must locate the cosmic-drive key before the vessel can return to Koppai."

Red Pikmin		Pikmin	File:NAFlag.png: "This Pikmin has a red body and a long, pointy nose. It was the first type of Pikmin Olimar ever met. In Smash Bros., they have the second highest attack power among the Pikmin. Like their fiery color suggests, they can attack with flames and withstand them." Appears in: File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin (12/ 2001) File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (08/2004) File:EuropeFlag.png: "Telling Red Pikmin apart from the other Pikmin is easy: These ones have long, pointy noses. Also, they're red. They're the very first kind of Pikmin Olimar finds on their planet, and their high attack power makes them very useful. In this game, they can deal powerful attacks, and they're very resistant to fire damage." Related games File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin (06/2002) File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (10/2004)
Yellow Pikmin		Pikmin	File:NAFlag.png: "This yellow Pikmin is sporting some pointy things on its head. Maybe those are ears? Hmm... Anyway, yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity and are the lightest Pikmin in the Pikmin series. In Smash Bros., a thrown yellow Pikmin will fly through the air in a nice curve, zapping anyone it comes in contact with." Appears in: File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin (12/ 2001) File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (08/2004) File:EuropeFlag.png: "Yellow Pikmin have big, sharp ears and conduct electricity very well. These two facts are most likely unrelated. Olimar's side special can throw this Pikmin high into the air and cause electrical damage to all fighters who stray too close!"

Blue Pikmin		Pikmin	File:NAFlag.png: "This blue Pikmin walks around with its mouth ajar. At home in the water, they're very helpful when objects are submerged and need retrieving. In Smash Bros., blue Pikmin have defense second only to purple Pikmin. They are also able to do more damage when thrown, so don't be shy about hurling them at foes." Appears in: File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin (12/ 2001) File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (08/2004) File:EuropeFlag.png: "The things that make blue Pikmin different from all the other Pikmin are that they have mouths that they're pretty good swimmers. They're slightly hardier than most other Pikmin, and they do more damage when you throw them. So, as soon as you get one of these, make sure to throw it right away!"

White Pikmin		Pikmin	File:NAFlag.png: "These tiny, white Pikmin have bright-red eyes. They are the fastest of the Pikmin, perfect for finding and retrieving hidden treasure. In Smash Bros., you can use them to poison your enemies. Since they can fly the farthest of any Pikmin when thrown, use them to poison enemies from afar." Appears in: File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (08/2004) File:WiiULogo.png Pikmin 3 (08/2013) File:EuropeFlag.png: "These small, fast-footed Pikmin are white with red eyes. That ominous look they have might give you the chills, and you'd be right to be scared - the little blighters are poisonous! In this game, they'll hang on to any enemy you throw them at and generously share their venom with them." Related games File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (10/2004) File:WiiULogo.png Pikmin 3 (07/2013)
Purple Pikmin		Pikmin	File:NAFlag.png: "These purple Pikmin are the strongest, but they're also slower and heavier. In Pikmin, they can be thrown at animals to stun them! In Smash Bros., they're great for attacking and launching, but they've got a pretty short reach. Get close to your foe to make these little ones truly effective!" Appears in: File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (08/2004) File:WiiULogo.png Pikmin 3 (08/2013) File:EuropeFlag.png: "These purple Pikmin are much stronger than their colourful counterparts, but they're also slower and heavier. In Pikmin, they can be thrown at animals to stun them! In this game, they're good at both attacking and launching, but since they haven't got good reach, you'll need to get up close and personal with your foes first!"

Rock Pikmin		Pikmin	File:NAFlag.png / File:EuropeFlag.png: "These Pikmin are made of solid rock, so they can stand up to a lot of attacks and won't get hurt when they get stepped on. They specialize in body blows, dealing a lot of damage when thrown, and they can also break right through glass and crystal. They can't latch on to other creatures, though. But that's OK — nobody's perfect!" Appears in: File:WiiULogo.png Pikmin 3 (08/2013)
Winged Pikmin		Pikmin	File:NAFlag.png: "These pink Pikmin have big, blue eyes and nice wings to help them fly. In Smash Bros., they show up to carry Olimar and friends through the air. However, how high and far they can fly is affected by how many friends they have to carry. More Pikmin will weigh them down." Appears in: File:WiiULogo.png Pikmin 3 (08/2013) File:EuropeFlag.png: "This particular type of Pikmin has a pink body, blue eyes and...wings? Yep, they can fly, and in this game, they can even give Olimar a lift. The only thing is they'll get tired very easily, especially if they're carrying lots of other Pikmin at the same time. Go easy on them, OK?" Related games File:WiiULogo.png Pikmin 3 (07/2013)
Iridescent Glint Beetle		None	File:NAFlag.png: "A golden creature from Pikmin 2. They don't pop up very often at all, but when they do, they scuttle around speedily. When you flip them over, they drop nectar and rare treasures. In Smash Bros., they appear in Smash Tour, where you can bump into them to make them drop extra fighters!"

Bulborb		Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures	File:NAFlag.png: "These creatures from the Pikmin series have snaillike protruding eyes, huge mouths, and really bad tempers. Despite their cute appearance, they'll happily gobble up Pikmin! In Smash Bros., they'll appear on the Garden of Hope stage, wandering around or chasing the poor Pikmin. Thankfully, they don't seem interested in the fighters duking it out." Appears in: File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin (12/ 2001) File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (08/2004)
Yellow Wollywog File:NAFlag.png Yellow Wollyhop File:EuropeFlag.png		Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures	File:NAFlag.png: "A frog-like creature from the Pikmin series with a strangely egg-shaped body. Though its legs are short and stubby, it is nevertheless capable of gigantic leaps, which prove deadly to any unfortunate Pikmin that happens to be nearby when it lands. Despite typically being found near water, it's not much of a swimmer." Appears in: File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin (12/ 2001) File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin 2 (08/2004)
Peckish Aristocrab		Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures	File:NAFlag.png: "This crab-like life-form from Pikmin 3 traps Pikmin in its bubbles. When it appears on the Garden of Hope stage, it creates a path of destruction from one end of the stage to another, but if the central bridge isn't there, it'll just fall right down. You can tell where it'll appear by the telltale appearance of bubbles, so watch out!" Appears in: File:WiiULogo.png Pikmin 3 (08/2013)
Iridescent Flint Beetle		Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures	File:NAFlag.png: "These guys appear in the Pikmin series, dropping rare items and fleeing nearby Pikmin.

Swooping Snitchbug		Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures	File:NAFlag.png: "A strange flying insectoid creature from the Pikmin series. Much like a fly rubbing its legs together, the Swooping Snitchbug has a habit of rubbing its hands. When it swoops down and snatches Pikmin from the ground, it doesn't eat them. Why? Who knows?!

Burrowing Snagret		Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures	File:NAFlag.png: "A foot-long bird doesn't sound all that large, but when you're the size of a Pikmin, a foot is massive!

At 35cm in length, it's fairly small by our standards, but for Pikmin, it's a towering monster! Another thing that makes it monstrous is that it sees Pikmin as a nutritious meal. If you're not careful, it'll pop out of the ground and gobble them up before you know it!" Related games File:GamecubeLogo.png Pikmin (06/2002) File:WiiULogo.png Pikmin 3 07/2013
Quaggled Mireclops		Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures	File:NAFlag.png: "A gigantic creature from Pikmin 3. It's so large that it is often mistaken for a forest. It's pretty docile until its crystal head is attacked, at which point it goes on a rampage! It'll lose its balance if the hooves are attacked. Be careful though—it likes to slurp up Pikmin with its tongue." Appears in: File:WiiULogo.png Pikmin 3 (08/2013)
Plasm Wraith		Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures	File:NAFlag.png: "A mysterious life-form in the Formidable Oak, the final area of Pikmin 3.

Pellets		Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures	File:NAFlag.png: "A crystallized nectar that contains the essence of the Pikmin's home world, these pellets are most often harvested from the plant life of the planet.

Brittany's Trophy as seen as a Pic of the Day.

"Pic of the day. Here's one of my personal favorites, the trophy of Brittany from Pikmin 3. She won't be joining the battle, but her model and expression is well-designed."

Trivia

• The trophy description for the Hocotate Bomb says it was in Pikmin and Pikmin 2, while it really only appears in Smash 4. Even then, the Hocotate Ship does not appear in Pikmin.
• The North American trophy description for the Burrowing Snagret suggests that its first appearance was in Pikmin 2, while it did appear in Pikmin. It also says it is part of the avian family, while Pikmin 2 reveals it is part of the Snavian family.
