'''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' is the latest and third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. It is the only series where Pikmin elements have exceeded a couple of trophies, most notably for the inclusion of [[Olimar]] as a playable character.

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. 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.

'''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''''' ({{j|大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズX|Dai rantō sumasshuburazāzu X}}) is the third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. It is the first game in the series where ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' elements have exceeded a couple of trophies, most notably for the inclusion of [[Olimar]] as a playable character.
 
==Olimar & Pikmin==
[[File:Olimar and five Pikmin Brawl.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Olimar and the 5 kinds of Pikmin in ''Brawl''.]]
Olimar is featured as one of the playable characters in this game, 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 family|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 [[pluck]]ed from the ground, their type [[Randomness|random]]ly determined. The range of Pikmin covers all of those that are found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' except [[Bulbmin]]. The Pikmin are not affected by 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 Pikmin are immune to the same elemental [[hazard]]s as in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. For example, [[Blue Pikmin]] will not drown like other Pikmin when Olimar falls in water (they can also swim if thrown in), [[Yellow Pikmin]] can survive going through electrical currents, like those created by Pikachu and various enemies in story mode (even though the electrocution noise is still made), and [[Red Pikmin]] are immune to fire attacks, like the flames of Bowser or Charizard. White Pikmin, however, are not immune to Wario's down special attack (which is a heavy flatulence) or any other move which might be considered poison-based. Purple Pikmin have more stamina when attacked (sometimes taking several hits before being killed).
 
Statistically, Olimar holds the spot as the 3rd best character (behind Meta Knight and Ice Climbers) in the game and the best character in the A+ tier. He is placed there because of his fast and powerful attacks, great match-ups, damage racking abilities, and a good camping game. Many of his moves are unpunishable, and with his variety of Pikmin, unpredictable.

===Alternate costumes===
[[File:Olimar SSBB palette swaps.png|center]]
Olimar's overall appearance has been altered to better fit in with ''Super Smash Bros Brawl'''s art direction. His space suit's gloves appear dark orange rather than a bright red, and the suit as a whole contains details often seen on real-life spacesuits, including many seams and buttons. His head however was went through very few visual changes, with the only notable ones being his slightly darker hair and his eyes being rounded onto his head, instead of being straight and fully facing straight on like in {{p1}} and {{p2}} (both latter instances also being trait seen on his and [[Louie]]'s designs in future ''Pikmin'' games). His whistle appears much like it does in ''Pikmin 2'', but with a higher saturation and less defined circles. The Pikmin also similar to their ''Pikmin 2'' appearances, but with noticeably lower polygon counts and a slightly lighter colour on the Purple Pikmin.
 
Olimar's first alternate consume resembles many real-life {{w|space suit}}s.
 
Olimar's second alternate costume doesn't appear to be based off of anything in particular.
 
Olimar's third alternate costume has a similar color scheme to [[The President]]'s space suit, though this could be a coincidence due gold being used instead of yellow, the gold being far more prominent on the design compared to the black on the space suit, and the darker tinting on the helmet's glass, similar to real space suit helmets.
 
Olimar's fourth alternate costume doesn't seem to match with anything in particular, though given the strange and specific colour choices it seems unlikely that it's not referencing something.
 
Olimar's fifth and final alternate costume appears to be based off of [[Louie]], given how otherwise unchanged it is from Olimar's default appearance. Interestingly, although it appears to be based off of Louie, it uses a much lighter due for the suit's accents, and Olimar does not gain blond hair to match Louie's.

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

;Neutral special attack – [[smashwiki:Pikmin Pluck|Pikmin Pluck]]
;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 random (though based on the terrain Olimar's standing on), with the only exception being in the Home Run Contest, in which case Purple Pikmin can only be plucked. This move can only be performed on the ground, and using it while running with five or fewer Pikmin stops Olimar instantly. It is one of the fastest special moves in the game.

;Side special attack – [[smashwiki:Pikmin Throw|Pikmin Throw]]
;Side special attack – Pikmin Throw
:Olimar [[throw]]s the next Pikmin in the line, which sticks to the opponent and does damage, much as it 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. If hit by a reflector, the confused Pikmin will begin attacking Olimar.

;Down special attack – [[smashwiki:Pikmin Order|Pikmin Order]]
;Down special attack – Pikmin Order
:Olimar calls any idle Pikmin to him with his [[whistle]], which are then organized by type. 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 – [[smashwiki:Pikmin Chain|Pikmin Chain]]
;Up special attack – Pikmin Chain
:Olimar throws his Pikmin all together upward, in a chain, 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 2nd longest tether recovery in the game. If this attack hits an enemy, it will shock them, causing around 10-15% of damage.

;Final Smash – [[smashwiki:End Of Day|End of Day]]
;Final Smash – End Of Day
:Olimar takes off in his spaceship (which traps and hurts enemies if they are next to Olimar, doing about 27% damage from entering to take-off), leaving his opponents alone for [[Bulborb]]s to attack them during the [[sunset]]. The opponents receive about 47% damage from the Bulborbs' attacks. Afterwards, the ship crash lands back onto the stage, hurting (34%) anyone in its path. Despite being left behind, Olimar's Pikmin are unharmed.

Despite being left behind, Olimar's Pikmin are unharmed.


:The confirmation of the move at Smash Bros. DOJO!! stated that if more fighters are present, the move does more damage. On the other hand, if more fighters are dueling when this Final Smash is initiated, then there is more of a chance that the fighters would steal Olimar's KOs. Masahiro Sakurai stated that this was to balance the move out.
==Distant Planet==
[[File:Distant Planet stage Brawl.png|thumb|left|200px|The "Distant Planet", a stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]
There is a stage based on the [[Planet of the Pikmin]] (mostly the [[Awakening Wood]]), named the '''[[smashwiki:Distant Planet|Distant Planet]]'''. A [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]] appears on occasion, which can eat players, and some human-made objects are visible, such as an [[Utter Scrap|empty drink can]]. [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] are seen too, and can produce [[pellet]]s that, when thrown into [[Onion]]s, produce items. There is another Bulborb and a [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] in the background, but neither of these two do anything. The [[music]] in this stage is taken from several points in the first two games, either directly ripped or remixed. The exceptions are a track consisted entirely of ambience noises, the only one of its kind in the game, and the title theme for ''{{w|Big Brain Academy}}''.


: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.
Some parts of the stage are very out of proportion compared to their appearance in the ''Pikmin ''series. For example, The Bulborb is way more massive than it is the games. The Onions are also really small and their legs are at a steeper angle than they are in the games.

In the Subspace Emissary, Olimar is first found fighting a giant [[R.O.B.]] without success, from which he is saved by Captain Falcon. The game pairs him with Olimar in his following playable sections. Upon reaching the edge of the Island of the Ancients, they witness Diddy Kong attacking Primids and rescuing Donkey Kong; Falcon and Olimar then join forces with the Kongs.

In the [[smashwiki:Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]], Olimar is first found fighting a giant R.O.B. without success, from which he is saved by Captain Falcon (who massacres more Pikmin than the R.O.B. on his landing). The game pairs him with Olimar in his following playable sections. Upon reaching the edge of the Island of the Ancients, they witness Diddy Kong attacking Primids and rescuing Donkey Kong; Falcon and Olimar then join forces with the Kongs.
 
Following, Olimar and his crew are taken inside the Subspace Bomb Factory. They eventually find the Ancient Minister, along with Pikachu and Samus Aran. Ganondorf suddenly appears and commands the R.O.B.s in the room to detonate the Subspace Bombs nearby, so he can create a large enough hole in space to fit a Subspace Gunship through. The Ancient Minister reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and, along with Olimar and the rest, escapes from the island before it is sucked into Subspace. All characters then enter the Subspace, with Olimar flying the [[Hocotate ship]] alongside other characters' aircraft.

|Veteran spacefarers in the employ of Hocotate Freight. After crash- landing on an enigmatic planet, Olimar met the mysterious beings known as Pikmin. He enlisted their aid to find his spaceship parts and help him escape. Once home, he found his employer on the verge of bankruptcy. He was sent back to the Pikmin world with his partner, Louie, to repay the company debt.
|-

|End of Day
| ''World Map (Pikmin 2)'' || Remix created for ''Brawl'' || Starter || [[File:YouTube icon.png|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-soCAGCbkI|24px]] || A remix of the theme that plays on the [[Menu#Area selection|area selection menu]] in ''Pikmin'' and {{p2}}.
|Olimar's Final Smash. Dusk falls, and his spaceship makes a landing. Olimar takes the Onion, with all his Pikmin aboard, and blasts off for the stars. In Pikmin, native life-forms grew active and violent at night, making it lethal to remain on the surface--this is why Olimar would take his Onions and leave at night. This technique breaks the framework of the game.
|-
|-
|[[Red Pikmin]]
| ''Stage Clear / Title'' (Pikmin) || Remix created for ''Brawl'' || Starter || [[File:YouTube icon.png|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkBSXMxCc-4|24px]] || A remix with the [[sunset]] fanfare and the [[Menu#Title|title screen]] in ''Pikmin''.
|A type of Pikmin--which are odd beings who grow like plants yet are as mobile as animals. Red ones are heat and fire resistant and are strong attackers, which makes them valuable when facing dangerous foes. Purple Pikmin are also tough fighters, but since it's difficult to increase their numbers, red Pikmin are easier to manage. Red Pikmin have distinct pointed noses.
|-
|-
|[[Blue Pikmin]]
| ''Forest of Hope'' || Original from ''Pikmin'' || Starter || [[File:YouTube icon.png|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oys1vSugflA|24px]] || The theme that plays on [[The Forest of Hope]]. Plays the standard version first, and then the combat variant.
|A type of Pikmin, which are curious creatures that follow and obey the person who picks them. If you take advantage of this trait, you can get them to help Capt. Olimar and Louie. The blue Pikmin are at home in water and cannot drown. Need to retrieve an object underwater or cross a water hazard to disarm a trap? Blue Pikmin are just the allies you need.
|-
|-
|[[Yellow Pikmin]]
| ''Ai no Uta'' || Original from the single || Starter || [[File:YouTube icon.png|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWcoXddueOs|24px]] || The single ''[[Ai no Uta]]''.
|A type of Pikmin. Take a nutrient- rich pellet to a flying saucer known as an Onion, and it will produce the mysterious beings known as Pikmin. Yellow ones fly higher than other Pikmin when tossed by Olimar or Louie. Unlike other Pikmin, they're also highly resistant to electricity, which makes them invaluable when battling enemies like anode dweevils.
|-
|-
|[[White Pikmin]]
| ''Ai no Uta (French Version)'' || Original from the adverts || Unlockable || [[File:YouTube icon.png|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq8IiicRDY4|24px]] || Version of ''Ai no Uta'' used in French TV advertisements. It only has one verse, a different vocalist, and is in French.
|A type of Pikmin. White Pikmin are resistant to poisons and are themselves toxic to creatures that eat them. Their low weight makes them very speedy, and they can also dig up buried items. White and purple Pikmin do not live inside Onions, so you must change other Pikmin into them by tossing them into ivory candypop buds and violet candypop buds.
|-

|[[Purple Pikmin]]
| ''Tane no Uta'' || Original from the single || Unlockable || [[File:YouTube icon.png|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKphl5HDgAU|24px]] || The single ''[[Tane no Uta]]''.
|A type of Pikmin, much heavier and slower than other Pikmin. When thrown, they impact with such force that they may kill or stun enemies. They're also incredibly strong--one of them can carry an item that normally would require ten Pikmin. While they're more powerful fighters than their red cousins, their slow speed hampers their effectiveness.

|[[Louie]]
| ''Environmental Noises'' || Created for ''Brawl'' || Starter || [[File:YouTube icon.png|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdAlrUrkCxc|24px]] || Generic wild-life noises, based on the background wildlife sounds heard in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''s overworld [[area]]s.
|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.

In addition, this stage can also play the song ''Title (Big Brain Academy)'', which is a remix of the title screen themes of ''Big Brain Academy'' and ''Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree''.

When it almost collapses after Louie's incident, and Olimar comes back from the Pikmin planet, the president discovers the outstanding value of Olimar's souvenir. He then sends his employees back to collect valuable treasures. His treatment of employees is questionable.

This article or section is a short summary on Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
SmashWiki features more in-depth content.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズX?) is the third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. It is the first game in the series where Pikmin elements have exceeded a couple of trophies, most notably for the inclusion of Olimar as a playable character.

Olimar & Pikmin[edit]

Olimar and the 5 kinds of Pikmin in Brawl.

Olimar is featured as one of the playable characters in this game, 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, their type randomly determined. The range of Pikmin covers all of those that are found in Pikmin 2 except Bulbmin. The Pikmin are not affected by 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 Pikmin are immune to the same elemental hazards as in the Pikmin games. For example, Blue Pikmin will not drown like other Pikmin when Olimar falls in water (they can also swim if thrown in), Yellow Pikmin can survive going through electrical currents, like those created by Pikachu and various enemies in story mode (even though the electrocution noise is still made), and Red Pikmin are immune to fire attacks, like the flames of Bowser or Charizard. White Pikmin, however, are not immune to Wario's down special attack (which is a heavy flatulence) or any other move which might be considered poison-based. Purple Pikmin have more stamina when attacked (sometimes taking several hits before being killed).

Statistically, Olimar holds the spot as the 3rd best character (behind Meta Knight and Ice Climbers) in the game and the best character in the A+ tier. He is placed there because of his fast and powerful attacks, great match-ups, damage racking abilities, and a good camping game. Many of his moves are unpunishable, and with his variety of Pikmin, unpredictable.

Alternate costumes[edit]

The different palettes for Captain Olimar in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Olimar's overall appearance has been altered to better fit in with Super Smash Bros Brawl's art direction. His space suit's gloves appear dark orange rather than a bright red, and the suit as a whole contains details often seen on real-life spacesuits, including many seams and buttons. His head however was went through very few visual changes, with the only notable ones being his slightly darker hair and his eyes being rounded onto his head, instead of being straight and fully facing straight on like in Pikmin and Pikmin 2 (both latter instances also being trait seen on his and Louie's designs in future Pikmin games). His whistle appears much like it does in Pikmin 2, but with a higher saturation and less defined circles. The Pikmin also similar to their Pikmin 2 appearances, but with noticeably lower polygon counts and a slightly lighter colour on the Purple Pikmin.

Olimar's first alternate consume resembles many real-life space suits.

Olimar's second alternate costume doesn't appear to be based off of anything in particular.

Olimar's third alternate costume has a similar color scheme to The President's space suit, though this could be a coincidence due gold being used instead of yellow, the gold being far more prominent on the design compared to the black on the space suit, and the darker tinting on the helmet's glass, similar to real space suit helmets.

Olimar's fourth alternate costume doesn't seem to match with anything in particular, though given the strange and specific colour choices it seems unlikely that it's not referencing something.

Olimar's fifth and final alternate costume appears to be based off of Louie, given how otherwise unchanged it is from Olimar's default appearance. Interestingly, although it appears to be based off of Louie, it uses a much lighter due for the suit's accents, and Olimar does not gain blond hair to match Louie's.

Olimar's moves[edit]

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 random (though based on the terrain Olimar's standing on), with the only exception being in the Home Run Contest, in which case Purple Pikmin can only be plucked. This move can only be performed on the ground, and using it while running with five or fewer Pikmin stops Olimar instantly. It is one of the fastest special moves in the game.
Side special attack – Pikmin Throw
Olimar throws the next Pikmin in the line, which sticks to the opponent and does damage, much as it 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. If hit by a reflector, the confused Pikmin will begin attacking Olimar.
Down special attack – Pikmin Order
Olimar calls any idle Pikmin to him with his whistle, which are then organized by type. 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 throws his Pikmin all together upward, in a chain, 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 2nd longest tether recovery in the game. If this attack hits an enemy, it will shock them, causing around 10-15% of damage.
Final Smash – End of Day
Olimar takes off in his spaceship (which traps and hurts enemies if they are next to Olimar, doing about 27% damage from entering to take-off), leaving his opponents alone for Bulborbs to attack them during the sunset. The opponents receive about 47% damage from the Bulborbs' attacks. Afterwards, the ship crash lands back onto the stage, hurting (34%) anyone in its path. Despite being left behind, Olimar's Pikmin are unharmed.

Distant Planet[edit]

The Distant Planet stage from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
The "Distant Planet", a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

There is a stage based on the Planet of the Pikmin (mostly the Awakening Wood), named the Distant Planet. A Red Bulborb appears on occasion, which can eat players, and some human-made objects are visible, such as an empty drink can. Pellet Posies are seen too, and can produce pellets that, when thrown into Onions, produce items. There is another Bulborb and a Cloaking Burrow-nit in the background, but neither of these two do anything. The music in this stage is taken from several points in the first two games, either directly ripped or remixed. The exceptions are a track consisted entirely of ambience noises, the only one of its kind in the game, and the title theme for Big Brain Academy.

Some parts of the stage are very out of proportion compared to their appearance in the Pikmin series. For example, The Bulborb is way more massive than it is the games. The Onions are also really small and their legs are at a steeper angle than they are in the games.

The Subspace Emissary[edit]

Warning: the following text contains major spoilers about the Subspace Emissary.

In the Subspace Emissary, Olimar is first found fighting a giant R.O.B. without success, from which he is saved by Captain Falcon (who massacres more Pikmin than the R.O.B. on his landing). The game pairs him with Olimar in his following playable sections. Upon reaching the edge of the Island of the Ancients, they witness Diddy Kong attacking Primids and rescuing Donkey Kong; Falcon and Olimar then join forces with the Kongs.

Following, Olimar and his crew are taken inside the Subspace Bomb Factory. They eventually find the Ancient Minister, along with Pikachu and Samus Aran. Ganondorf suddenly appears and commands the R.O.B.s in the room to detonate the Subspace Bombs nearby, so he can create a large enough hole in space to fit a Subspace Gunship through. The Ancient Minister reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and, along with Olimar and the rest, escapes from the island before it is sucked into Subspace. All characters then enter the Subspace, with Olimar flying the Hocotate ship alongside other characters' aircraft.

“A member of the flint beetle family featuring an iridescent, shining shell that is also prized for its strength. These beetles are packed with nectar and pellets, which they drop when attacked. These can be collected, although the reason for doing so is unknown. Apparently, Pikmin are quite attracted to these beetles—the sight of one will send them running after it.

Wollywog
The Wollywog trophy from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Description:

“A member of the amphituber family known to be quite quick witted upon spotting enemies, despite its slow-moving, easygoing nature. Be aware that wollywogs will make aggressive attempts to smash Pikmin. It is believed that the wollywog's whitish coloration is a result of a lack of sunlight over its generations spent in caves.

Glitch[edit]

There is a glitch that can be done with Pikmin & Olimar. The more Olimars there are on the battlefield, the bigger the glitch will be. The "Green Greens" stage is necessary, and each of the Olimars may only have Red, White, or Blue Pikmin. These need to be thrown against the yellow blocks on either side. The Pikmin will continue to circle in mid-air, and large amounts of damage can be dealt by moving an opponent into it. This glitch could result in a crash if too many Pikmin are thrown.
