'''Captain Olimar''' (or simply '''Olimar''') is the main protagonist of the ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' franchise, created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. Olimar is actually 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 near perfect anagram of "Mario"). He has crossed over with the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise primarily through the ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, but also through ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' as well, where ''Pikmin'' gets its own attraction, titled "Pikmin Adventure." Most of his other appearances involve cameos via use of [[amiibo]]. | '''Captain Olimar''' (or simply '''Olimar''') is the main protagonist of the ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' franchise, created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

Olimar has 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 (game)|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 Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', [[Villager]], [[Pac-Man]], [[Mega Man]], and [[Mii#Super Smash Bros. series|Mii Fighters]] also lack voice clips, making a lack of a voice effect no longer unique to him. However, in ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', he is voiced by [[Kazumi Totaka]]. | Olimar has 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 (game)|Pikmin]]'' game manual, he is only about an inch tall.
