He wears a spacesuit with a blue lapel, has teal-colored hair similar to [[Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar's]] in shape, an average sized nose and freckles on his cheeks. His eyes are always open, much like when other characters such as Olimar or [[Louie]] are surprised, and he is by far the shortest of all the playable [[Leader|leaders]]. Alph serves as the engineer of the ship, the [[S.S. Drake]], which his [[Minor Characters|grandfather]], also named Drake, designed. He is very bright and positive in character, and greatly respects [[Captain Charlie]]. | |||

*''"Where's the Drake?"'' | |||

*''"If I slide the KopPad Map..."'' | |||
*''"Aha! The SS Drake isn't that far from here!"'' | |||
*''"Maybe the other crew members are there as well. I'd best head in that direction."'' | |||
;Finds [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] | |||
*''"Is that red thing...food?"'' | |||

*''"It produced sprouts!"'' | |||

*''"The Drake must be somewhere on the other side of it..."'' | |||
;Finds first data file | |||
*''"Something's in here!"'' | |||
*''"It looks like someone's left a data file here. Perhaps the KopPad will be able to read it."'' | |||
*''"Excellent! The KopPad can read the data file."'' | |||
*''"So these creatures are called Pikmin?"'' | |||
*''"This information might come in handy later on. I'll save it in the KopPad's Exploration Notes."'' | |||
*''"It's strange, though... I wonder who created this data file?"'' | |||
*''"Could there be other intelligent life forms on this planet?"'' | |||
;Searching for the SS Drake | |||

*''Brittany: "Thank goodness! You're with the S.S. Drake, right?"'' | |||

*''Alph: "Oh, no! We've been cut off! I wonder how far Brittany is."'' | |||
*''Alph: "In any case, I'm glad that she seems to be safe and sound."'' | |||
;End of first day | |||
*''"What was that strange cry?"'' | |||
*''"The sun is setting, which could mean that nocturnal predators are starting to wake up."'' | |||
*''"I should probably get off the planet's surface for now."'' | |||
*''"Most of the supplies we brought with us from Koppai were ruined in the crash-landing..."'' | |||
*''"So we now only have 3 days' worth of edible provisions left..."'' | |||
*''"From tomorrow, I'll have to work on sourcing food locally..."'' | |||
;Locate the [[Garden of Hope]] | |||
*''"Brittany's signal seems to be coming from over there!"'' | |||
*''"Right now, meeting up with her has got to be my top priority."'' | |||
*''"Having said that, I'm also quite worried by the loss of our cosmic drive key."'' | |||
*''"Without it, the Drake can't reach a high enough speed to get us home."'' | |||
;Landing in the Garden of Hope | |||
*''"Brittany should be around here somewhere!"'' | |||
*''"We're running out of food, so I'd better find her before it's too late."'' | |||
;Taking Pikmin out of the Onion | |||
*''"It looks like the Onion has followed me here. So where are the Pikmin?"'' | |||
*''"Ah, I see. That Onion vessel is a Pikmin nest."'' | |||
*''"I'm going to configure the KopPad so we can use it to check Pikmin status."'' | |||
;Encounter first [[Red Bulborb|Bulborb]] | |||
*''"Shhh...it's asleep."'' | |||
*''"I think we can sneak up on it!"'' | |||
;Located Brittany | |||
*''Alph: "Brittany's just lying there! I hope I'm not too late!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "Pick up, Brittany! Pick up! Please be OK!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "......"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Alph?! Sorry about that. I was just taking a little nap. So, you're close by?"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Why wasn't I moving, you ask? Hee hee, well, you know me. I can sleep anywhere."'' | |||
*''Brittany: "But never mind that. Listen, I discovered what looks like a huge piece of fruit! It's over there!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "But I'm stuck here for the time being. Could you go and check it out for me?"'' | |||
;Finds first fruit | |||
*''"Wow! It's even bigger than I thought it would be!"'' | |||
*''"If this really is fruit, then it's a major discovery!"'' | |||
*''"I'd like to analyze it at the Drake, but how can I move it?"'' | |||
;Obtaining first fruit | |||
*''Drake: "Recovering..."'' | |||
*''Alph: "Oh! There's an incoming transmission from the Drake!"'' | |||
*''Drake: "Analysing the recovered plant!"'' | |||
*''Drake: "Large quantities of Piktamin U detected!"'' | |||
*''Drake: "This is a seed-bearing fruit, making cultivation on Koppai possible."'' | |||
*''Drake: "Juice from this fruit is safe for consumption by crew members."'' | |||
*''Alph: "I'll add a Fruit File to the KopPad, where we can store the results of our analysis."'' | |||
*''Alph: "But I don't know much about plants at all."'' | |||
*''Alph: "I'll ask Brittany to write reports later, since she's the botanist."'' | |||
;Discover Rock Onion | |||
*''"What is that thing?!"'' | |||
;Finding Rock Pikmin | |||
*''"Is there something inside that thing?!"'' | |||
*''"Are these creatures Pikmin too? They're giving me a funny look..."'' | |||
*''"What in the-?"'' | |||
*''"These ones seem friendly too!"'' | |||
*''"Wow, they really pack a punch!"'' | |||
*''"Seems like they really want to smash it up..."'' | |||
*''"There! That's all of it!"'' | |||
*''"So their Onion was trapped inside that crystal."'' | |||
*''"Since I have two types of Pikmin now, I can select the ones I want to use with C."'' | |||
*''"When I want to split them up by type, I'll use (nunchuck shake) to dismiss the squad."'' | |||
;Collects [[Medusal Slurker]] | |||
*''"Yesterday's foe is today's food."'' | |||
*''"Wow... Nature is unforgiving."'' | |||
;Searching for Brittany | |||
*''"Brittany is on the other side of this wall."'' | |||
;Fragments across the water in the Garden of Hope | |||
*''"There are materials for constructing a bridge on the opposite shore."'' | |||
*''"If I work together with Brittany, I think we can get that bridge built."'' | |||
;Closer to signal | |||
*''"So, the signal is coming from beyond here?"'' | |||
;Data file on the way to the mysterious signal | |||
*''"Huh? Looks like there's a data file here too."'' | |||
*''"...Hocotate? I think that's near Koppai."'' | |||
*''"If I recall correctly, it's a planet populated by treasure-loving vegetable eaters."'' | |||
*''"Did they come all this way to hunt for treasure? This Olimar fellow seems pretty devoted to his family."'' | |||
;About to enter [[Armored Mawdad]] arena | |||
*''"Looks like someone or something dug this out..."'' | |||
;Enter Armored Mawdad's arena | |||
*''"I've got a bad feeling (text interrupted)'' | |||
;Armored Mawdad charges | |||
*''"Here it comes!"'' | |||
;Break Armored Mawdad's armor | |||
*''"There we go! Maybe now..."'' | |||
;Armored Mawdad missing in action | |||
*''"Where'd it go?"'' | |||
;Armored Mawdad defeated | |||
*''"So this was giving off that signal..."'' | |||
*''"But what does this means for the Captain's whereabouts...?"'' | |||
*''"I guess for now we should take this back to the Drake for analysis. I think it might be of some use to us."'' | |||
;Obtaining Data Glutton | |||
*''Drake: "Recovering..."'' | |||
*''Alph: "We're receiving a transmission from the Drake!"'' | |||
*''Drake: "Analysing recovered item!"'' | |||
*''Drake: "An ancient communication device used on this planet."'' | |||
*''Drake: "It contains technology unknown to Koppai and is emitting a signal even now."'' | |||
*''Alph: "If I integrate this device into the Drake's communication system, I should be able to boost our signal's strength!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "Looks like it's going to be an all nighter for me!"'' | |||
;More than 100 Pikmin in the field | |||
*''"Just as the number of Pikmin in the field reached 100, the Onion stopped spitting out seeds."'' | |||
*''"The Pikmin inside the Onion seem to be increasing in number."'' | |||
*''"Apparently, once the surface population reached 100, new Pikmin are born inside the Onion."'' | |||
*''"This means that a maximum of 100 Pikmin can be active outside the Onion at any one time."'' | |||
;Onions merge | |||
*''"Wow! They merged!"'' | |||
*''"Well, well... So two Onions can combine into one..."'' | |||
*''"Very interesting! I'll have to make a note of this."'' | |||
;Morning after Brittany's rescue and fruit is recovered | |||
*''Alph: "We've finally discovered edible matter!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Yes! And after careful analysis, my conclusion is that the fruit juice... is delicious!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "I've never tasted anything like it on Koppai!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "There's got to be more where that came from. Let's focus our efforts on finding as much as we can!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "But don't forget the cosmic drive key! It's no use finding fruit if we can't get it back to Koppai."'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Right! Gathering food and locating the cosmic drive key. That should be more than enough to keep us busy."'' | |||
*''Alph: "And, err, don't forget the Captain. We need to rescue him as well!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "The Captain? Oh yeah. He almost slipped my mind."'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Well I guess we can pick him up along the way."'' | |||
;Regarding the mysterious signal in the [[Distant Tundra]] | |||
*''Brittany: "What's that signal coming from over there?"'' | |||
*''Alph: "It has to be the Captain! Let's hurry up and rescue him!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "...Good idea. He might be hogging all the fruit to himself."'' | |||
;Brittany exits cave | |||
*''Brittany: "Phew! It's good to be outside again. I was getting claustrophobic in that cave!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Hey, there's Alph! And the S.S. Drake is there, too!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Alph! I'm over here!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "Ah, Brittany! Thank goodness you're OK!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "I see you're on the other side of the river!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "Our first priority is to reunite, so let's work together! Press Y when you want to hand over control!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Got it!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "This place is absolutely freezing! If we stay too long, I'm afraid we're going to die of exposure."'' | |||
*''Brittany: "That is, if we don't die of starvation first."'' | |||
*''Alph: "Hey Brittany!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "Did you find something interesting over there?"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Yes, actually! A new type of Pikmin!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "Really?!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "Yep, they're yellow and have big ears!"'' | |||
*''Alph: "Wow! I want to meet them too!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "OK!"'' | |||
*''Brittany: "I'll have to find a place where I can throw them across to you."'' | |||
;Pikmin's path is abstructed | |||
*''"The Pikmin seem to be having problems carrying their load back. I'd better do something...''" | |||
;Finds soft dirt | |||
*''"This dirt looks pretty soft..."'' | |||
*''"Maybe we can dig through it..."'' | |||
;Morning after crash in the [[Distant Tundra]] | |||
*''"I can't shake the idea that the S.S. Drake's crash was my fault..."'' | |||
*''"Anyway, there's work to be done! First I need to reunite with Brittany, then we can look for the Captain."'' | |||
;Finished bridge to Brittany | |||
*''"That's as far as I can build!"'' | |||
*''"The rest is up to Brittany!"'' | |||
;Finds [[Bomb Rock]] | |||
*''"I've found a peculiar rock with a powerful energy emanating from it."'' | |||
*"''I'll keep the Pikmin that's carrying it separate from the others, and then use C/L to select it.''" | |||

*Alph | ==Trivia== | ||
* Alph was the only character playable in the E3 2012 ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' demo. | |||
{{ | * Alph is also short for "Alpha", the term used for the letter A in the phoenetic alphabet. This makes sense as Charlie is also used for letter C in the military alphabet; the initial of his name is also the same letter of his prototype name (Character A), just like [[Charlie]] and [[Brittany]]. | ||
*Alph is the Technical expert of the crew, which is explained by his grandfather designing the S.S. Drake. | |||
*According to Brittany's fruit notes, Alph is allergic to the [[Heroine's Tear]] (a mango), and the [[Scaly Custard]] (an avocado). | |||
*Alph grew up with his grandfather, Drake. | |||
*Alph has 12 older brothers, a big sister and a little brother. | |||
*Alph is addressed by the name "Alphie" by Brittany on multiple occasions, possibly meaning that Brittany has feelings for Alph. | |||
*Alph is one of the only two playable characters in the series without his name ending with a long "e" sound, the other being Olimar. | |||
