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.

|usdesc = 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!
|eudesc = 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.

====Alt====
*Olimar's name is derived from [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]], as "Louie" is from [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]]. In Japanese, Olimar (オリマー ''Orima'') is an anagram of Mario (マリオ ''Mario''). Olimar also shares Mario's red color scheme and nose size.
{{smash trophy
*It is referred to that Olimar used to be a repairman before his current job<ref>"''Gradually, my repairs to the Dolphin continue. This ship is like a part of me. One could even say that it is tied to my very essence. Yes, it was a long &ndash; one might say epic &ndash; journey, going from mere repairman to captain of my own ship... but now I'm rambling.''" &ndash; Olimar on his [[Olimar's Voyage Log|voyage log]]</ref>, and has had conflicts with space pirates.<ref>"''{{Notes:Guard Satellite/monolog}}''" &ndash; Olimar on the [[Guard Satellite]].</ref>
|image  = Olimar3DSTrophy2.png
*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.
|usdesc = 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!<br>{{icon|GameCube||16px}} ''Pikmin'' (12/2001)<br>{{icon|GameCube||16px}} ''Pikmin 2'' (08/2004)
*In ''[[mariowiki:Yoshi's Island DS|Yoshi's Island DS]]'', a baby similar in appearance to Olimar is present in a few scenes.

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!<br>{{icon|GameCube||16px}} ''Pikmin'' 06/2002<br>{{icon|GameCube||16px}} ''Pikmin 2'' 10/2004
*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.
|obtain = ''Unknown''
*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: "''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.

*Olimar's [[carrying]] weight seems to vary in each game. He weighs 4 units in ''Pikmin'', 1 unit in ''Pikmin 2'', and 5 units in ''Pikmin 3''.
 
*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.

*In ''Pikmin 2'', Olimar is voiced by [[nintendo:Kazumi Totaka|Kazumi Totaka]] &ndash; the music composer that added [[Easter eggs#Totaka's song|his song]] as a secret in the game.
*Although Olimar is just 2cm tall in the ''Pikmin'' games, he is much bigger in the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]], for the sake of balance.
