'''''Super Smash Bros.''''' is a series of fighting video games published by [[Nintendo]]. The settings, fighters, items, and other elements are taken from various Nintendo franchises. The [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] is included in these franchises, starting in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' with two trophies and advancing to a major role in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward, in which a ''Pikmin'' character – [[Captain Olimar]] – and [[area]]s are part of the available fighter and stage selections, respectively.

This game features a much larger roster, with 26 characters and 29 stages. Some months before the release of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' was released for the same console, the [[GameCube]]. There were no plans to include ''Pikmin'' franchise elements into the core gameplay, but the series still made its way into the game in the form of two collectible trophies; one for [[Captain Olimar]], and one for the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. The former is only unlocked if the player has a ''Pikmin'' [[saved game]] on their memory card, while the latter must be won through the game's trophy lottery feature.

The fifth and latest entry in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' franchise, released world-wide on December 7th, 2018. Captain Olimar, Alph (as an Olimar reskin) and several ''Pikmin'' elements return in this entry, and some new ones are also introduced, most notably the addition of a [[Burrowing Snagret]] as an Assist Trophy, and multiple Spirits based on the ''Pikmin'' franchise.

[[Captain Charlie]] is featured in World of Light as one of the Master Spirits. He runs a side-activity that allows the player to send up to four Spirits off on a "research expedition" to recover helpful items.
