'''Captain Olimar''' is the main protagonist of the video game franchise ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'', made by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], named after [[Mario]] himself (Olimar is an anagram of Mario, with an L added; his Japanese name, Orimā, (オリマー) which was romanized as Olimar, is a perfect anagram of "Mario"). In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', he has a trophy, which the player could only get when they use a [[Memory Card]] with a saved game data of ''Pikmin'' inside. He is also a newcomer in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', fighting with the help of [[Pikmin]]. In fact, without the Pikmin, Olimar is very weak – he can't even use a [[Smash Attack]]. As such, Olimar has to constantly [[#Pikmin Pluck|pick Pikmin out of the ground]] in order to fight.

The Pikmin may also scatter, which acts very problematic for Olimar. However, Olimar can [[#Pikmin Order|call the Pikmin back to his side]]. His other two specialties include [[#Pikmin Throw|throwing Pikmin]] and [[#Pikmin Chain|using them as a chain]] (which can be used as a [[Tether Recovery]]).
Olimar had to be scaled up drastically, even more so than Kirby, for his appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, as according to the ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' game manual, he is only about an inch tall. Olimar does not have any voice effects (unless players count his whistles as a voice effect) in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', making him the only playable character without a Star KO sound effect. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for 3DS / Wii U]]'', [[Villager]], [[Pac-Man]], and [[Mega Man]] also lack voice clips, making a lack of a voice effect no longer unique to him.
 
In his [[Final Smash]], he [[#End of Day|hops on his ship and takes off]] while [[Bulborb]]s come on the stage and start attacking the players. His "home" stage is the [[Distant Planet]].

Captain Olimar's playable in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is a starter character, and he fightswith the help of [[Pikmin]]. In fact, without the Pikmin, Olimar is very weak – he can't even use a [[Smash Attack]]. As such, Olimar has to constantly use [[Pikmin Pluck]] in order to fight. The Pikmin may also scatter, which acts very problematic for Olimar. However, Olimar can use [[Pikmin Order]]. His other two specialties include [[Pikmin Throw]] and [[Pikmin Chain]] as a [[Tether Recovery]]).

Captain Olimar's Pikmin are attacking a huge [[R.O.B.]]. However, they are so weak they do no damage—the R.O.B. simply spins around and all the Pikmin that were on him fly in all directions and turn into ghosts and perish. Captain Olimar starts shivering in fear at the huge robot. A red Pikmin walks up to Olimar and taps him on the side. Olimar turns around and the red Pikmin points at the [[Blue Falcon]] that was speeding through the forest.

[[Captain Falcon]] jumps out of the Blue Falcon and then [[Captain Falcon#Falcon Punch|Falcon Punch]]es the huge Robot right in his face. The R.O.B. then falls back destroyed. Captain Falcon lands back on the ground while doing a slide similar to the Falcon Kick. However, while he is sliding on the ground, he accidentally hurts Pikmin that came in contact with him and killed them all. Captain Falcon just stands there striking a pose while Captain Olimar just watches as the wind blows a tumbleweed. Olimar and Falcon decide to team up to fight the [[Subspace Army]].

Upon reaching the edge of the [[Isle of the Ancients]], they witness [[Diddy Kong]] attacking [[Primid]]s and rescuing [[Donkey Kong]]. Falcon and a reluctant Olimar then decide to join forces with the [[Kong]]s, and upon reaching them, the Primids return with backup. Donkey, Diddy, Falcon, and Olimar manage to fight them off before they see off [[Falco Lombardi]], who had helped Diddy in bringing him to the skift that Donkey was held on.

The ship takes Olimar and his crew inside [[the Subspace Bomb Factory]], and they begin to move through it. 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 Bomb]]s inside the factory so he could create a large enough hole in space to fit a [[Subspace Gunship]] through. The Ancient Minister through desperation reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and helps the other heroes defeat the Subspace underlings that Ganondorf sent out. Olimar, along with R.O.B. and the rest, escapes from the island before it's dragged into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]]. All of the heroes then unite to take down the Subspace Gunship and enter Subspace. Unfortunately, Olimar and the others were doomed to be turned into trophies by [[Tabuu]].

However, hope comes in the form of [[King Dedede]], who created some badges that revive trophies into the original fighter. Olimar is one the trophies that may be revived. However it is optional for the player to revive him and his Pikmin.

Olimar appears as a default playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' series<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/pikmin.html Super Smash Bros, for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U: Pikmin & Olimar] Official Page. (Retrieved July 27, 2013)</ref>. His appearance has been altered from the previous game, adding a whistle into his helmet like in ''Pikmin 3''. Instead of having six Pikmin like in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Olimar can now only pluck three Pikmin at a time, and in a certain order (being red, yellow, blue, white, and purple). His recovery has also been changed, now using winged Pikmin rather than using the Pikmin as a chain; however, the more active Pikmin he has the heavier he is when using this move.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xUWnQu2Grs]</ref> One of Olimar's alternative costumes is [[Alph]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Pikmin 3|Pikmin 3]]'', who acts as a separate character to Olimar, while still taking up the same slot as him.
