 In the {{date|1|April|2015}} Nintendo Direct, Olimar was confirmed to be a part of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' amiibo, launching in September 2015 in the US and July 2015 in all other regions. Like other fighters, his amiibo is identical to his main trophy from the game.
+==Behind the Scenes==
+[[Captain Olimar]] as a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] (dubbed by fans as '''Pikmar''' or '''Olimin''') in the bad alternate ending of [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], where the [[S.S. Dolphin]] fails to take off and crashes on the planet again; Olimar is then carried to the Red [[Onion]] by some Pikmin and ejected as a seed consisting of only his head and a small stem with leaf. Judging by the sounds and visual effects, he appears to flourish to his former size similar to the way Pikmin first grow.
+This ending is not considered canon with the rest of the series as in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' he is seen proceeding to land on [[Hocotate]] in his [[S.S. Dolphin|ship]] and so must have obtained at least the 25 mandatory [[ship part]]s. "Pikmar" is only ever seen buried, so the rest of his appearance is unknown. It should also be noted that the model used in the in-game cutscene only contains a head.
+Why the Onion transforms him instead of turning him into true Pikmin seeds is unknown. However, it is worth noting that the Pikmin silently watch as he is spat out and cheer as he begins to grow, indicating that they expected the transformation to occur. When Pikmin [[Lie down|carry Olimar]] to their Onion when {{button|gcn|Paddown|wii|2}} is held in ''Pikmin'', or by use of the [[Napsack]] in ''Pikmin 2'', Olimar is not affected in any way and merely bounces off the alien mother-ship. As such, the process may be controlled by the Pikmin themselves.
