'''Alph''' ({{j|アルフ|Arufu}}) is one of the three [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. He visits [[PNF-404]], along with [[Brittany]] and [[Charlie]] in search of food for the hungry planet of [[Koppai]]. He 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]].


==Appearance==
He wears a spacesuit with a blue lapel, has teal-colored hair similar to [[Captain Olimar]]'s in shape, an average sized nose, freckles on his cheeks and pointy ears. His wide, round eyes are always open, much like when other characters such as Olimar or [[Louie]] are surprised. He is by far the shortest of all the playable [[Leader|leaders]], and likely the youngest as well. Like the other crew members, he wears a bulky space suit with a transparent helmet and an antenna. His gloves and boots are the same shade of blue as his hair, as is the light atop the antenna.


==Personality==
John Madden His an incredibly small smooth endoplasmic reticulum. This casuses him male onset PMS. He must were maxi pads. In contrast, he has a very large rough endoplasmic reticulum, so he must constantly fight the battle in his cytoplasm.
Alph seems kind and gentle, showing genuine concern over the safety and well-being of every [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and crew member. Based off his interactions with Brittany, he may be rather absentminded. Alph is also very interested in technological devices and is a very capable engineer who configures objects found on PNF-404 for the crew to use on their quest for food. Alph also has allergies to the [[Heroine's Tear]] and the [[Scaly Custard]], as seen in [[Brittany|Brittany's]] notes on them, though that doesn't change any way the juice is distributed when they are eaten. In the different regional versions of the game, his personality remains mostly the same barring some particular lines of dialogue.
 
==Biography==
{{stub}}
Alph is the second youngest of his siblings, being older than one brother, and younger than twelve brothers and one sister. He grew up with his grandfather, an engineer named Drake. He learned a lot from him, and his time spent with him is what led Alph towards being an engineer.
 
When the crew first attempts to land on [[PNF-404]], they encounter difficulties and all three members are ejected from the [[S.S. Drake]]. They all crash-land in different areas. Alph happens to fall into the [[Tropical Wilds]], the same area in which the Drake also landed with its auto-pilot. With the help of some local Pikmin, he builds a bridge and is able to reunite with his [[KopPad]] and the Drake. It is then up to him to rescue his coworkers by flying to the other areas with the Drake. Alph also seems a little talkative, as he gives the most Notes at the end of each day.

==In ''Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U''==
Alph appears as four of [[Captain Olimar]]'s eight palette swaps in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]''. Since he is a palette swap rather than a separate character, he is in no way different apart from appearance and name. The game does however make other subtle distinctions, such as the voice clips for the announcer, and the alias on the Boxing Ring stage. Alph's three other color schemes are based off of Charlie, Brittany, and Olimar. Alph also has a trophy of him in both versions of ''Smash 4''.

==Naming==
Alph is short for "Alpha", the term used for the letter A in the phonetic 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 given the pet name "Alphie" by Brittany on multiple occasions.

==Trivia==
* Alph was the only character playable in the E3 2012 ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' demo, but even then, he had a very basic model with no facial features. He still had his blue suit, though.

* Alph has [[Minor Characters#Alph's Siblings|12 older brothers, a big sister and a little brother]].
