Louie

Template:Infobox leader Louie is a secondary protogonist, serving as Olimar's partner and co-worker. He first appears in Pikmin 2.

He is relatively new to the shipping business and has a ravenous appetite. He was raised by his grandmother, who made him play with bugs, as well as eat them, which he seems to partake in on the Pikmin Planet.

Traits and abilities

• As a young boy, Louie's grandmother encouraged him to eat bugs. Because of this, he is able to survive eating the creatures of the Pikmin Planet.
• He has a love of fine cuisine, which drives him to create gourmet recipes for beasts on the Pikmin Planet.
• He has all of the same abilities of Olimar, except his c-stick sound and whistle is different. This also goes for the President.
• Louie's favorite Pikmin could be blue Pikmin( in the credits he is seen constantly around water and he commands blues in 2-player battle mode).

Behind the scenes

• Louie's name is derived from Luigi's name, as Olimar's is derived from Mario's. The two bear other similarities as well.
• In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, He appears as a trophy.
• Also in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, one of Olimar's alternative costumes resembles Louie.
