'''Alph''' ({{j|アルフ|Arufu}}) is one of the three [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. He visits [[PNF-404]] along with [[Brittany]] and [[Charlie]] in search of food to remedy the famine afflicting their home planet of [[Koppai]]. Alph serves as the engineer of the ship, the [[S.S. Drake]], which his [[Minor characters#Drake|grandfather]], also named Drake, designed. He is very bright and positive in character, and greatly respects [[Captain Charlie]].


==Appearance==
{{Template:Infobox leader
He wears a white spacesuit with a cerulean blue lapel, has cerulean blue-colored hair similar to [[Captain Olimar]]'s in shape, an average sized nose, freckles on his cheeks and pointy ears. His wide, round eyes are always open, much like when other characters such as Olimar or [[Louie]] are surprised. He is by far the shortest of all the playable [[leader]]s, and likely the youngest as well. Like the other crew members, he wears a bulky space suit with a transparent helmet and an antenna. His gloves and boots are the same shade of cerulean blue as his hair, as is the light atop the antenna.

He is the blue-suited [[captain]] that has teal hair similar to [[Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar's]] in shape, an average sized nose, and freckles on his cheeks. His eyes are always open, much like when other characters like Olimar or [[Louie]] are surprised. He is the engineer of the[[S.S. Drake|"S.S. Drake"]], the group's spaceship. In fact, his grandfather designed the S.S.Drake. Maybe thats why he knows so much about Engineering. He is bright and positive in character. He also looks up to [[Charlie]] for some reason.

==Personality==
Alph is kind, positive and gentle, as he shows genuine concern over the safety and well-being of every [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and crew member. Based off his interactions with Brittany, he may be rather absentminded. Alph is also very interested in technological devices; on a related note, he is intelligent and a very capable engineer who configures objects and fruit found on PNF-404 for the crew to use on their quest for food. In the different regional versions of the game, Alph's personality remains largely intact, barring some particular lines of dialogue.


==Biography==
Armored Mawdad missing in action
{{spoiler}}
*''"Where'd it go?"''
Alph is the second youngest of his siblings, being older than one brother, and younger than twelve brothers and one sister.{{cite quote|Day _ for me on this planet. I was so excited to explore this place, but now I'm just feeling homesick. I miss my big sister, especially. She always shared her food with me, even when it was scarce. I can't wait to pay her kindness back when we show up with a ship full of seeds!|Alph|a [[Pikmin 3 voyage log|voyage log]]}} He grew up with his grandfather, an engineer named Drake. He learned a lot from him, and his time spent with him is what led Alph towards being an engineer. He also is known to write, and the other Koppaites seem to have read some of his poems.{{cite quote|I just noticed that Alph's follicle design bears a striking resemblance to that of our captain. I knew of Alph's poems lauding the captain, but I was unaware that he was also attempting to mimic his physical appearance. Alph has matured on this mission, but he still has room for growth. Soon, he will need to start nurturing himself rather than seeking it from others.|[[Brittany]]|a [[Pikmin 3 voyage log|voyage log]]}}{{cite quote|Oh Captain Charlie— Wait—I sound like one of Alph's poems. Dear Captain Charlie, I hope— No, that's still too casual. Captain: Alph and I are well. We hope to find you soon. Brittany out. Was that too formal?|[[Brittany]]|a [[Pikmin 3 voyage log|voyage log]]}}{{cite quote|I Am Found in You, Rubber Ducky / Eyes like gleaming algae whisper as my worries fall away like water crashing in rushes within thrushes off your back... Your bill, mischievous as slick stone, cups a subtle pout inside a wry smile. One look at you, rubber ducky, and I am lost... Nay. One look at you, I am found. Wow. Alph is really rubbing off on me!|[[Captain Charlie]]|[[Pikmin 3 voyage log|a voyage log]]}}{{cite quote|I'm marking this as Day _ since we touched down. It still seems unreal that we are 279,000 light-years away from home. This is exactly the kind of experience I've been longing for! I think that saving my home planet is going to be really good for my poetry writing.|Alph|a [[Pikmin 3 voyage log]]|voyage log]]}}


When the crew first attempts to land on [[PNF-404]], they encounter difficulties and all three members are ejected from the [[S.S. Drake]]. They all crash-land in different areas. Alph happens to fall into the [[Tropical Wilds]], the same area in which the Drake also landed with its auto-pilot. With the help of some local Pikmin, he builds a bridge and is able to reunite with his [[KopPad]] and the Drake. It is then up to him to rescue his coworkers by flying to the other areas with the Drake. Alph also seems a little talkative, as he gives the most Notes at the end of each day. In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', there is a castaway named [[Yorke]] who is also Dr. [[Drake]]'s grandson and is implied to be Alph's eldest brother.


==Quotes==
{{main|Alph quotes}}


==In ''Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Wii U''==
Alph appears as an alternate character alongside [[Captain Olimar]] in {{ssb4}}. Due to being a palette swap character instead of a wholly separate fighter, he is in no way different from Olimar apart from appearance and name. The game does, however, make other subtle distinctions, such as the voice clips for the announcer, and the alias on the Boxing Ring stage. Like Olimar, Alph has three alternate colored costumes of his own; in Alph's case, his alternate costumes are based on Charlie, Brittany, and Olimar himself. Alph also has a trophy of himself in both versions of the game.

Obtaining Data Glutton
*''Drake: "Recovering..."''
*''Alph: "We're receiving a transmission from the Drake!"''
*''Drake: "Analysing recovered item!"''
*''Drake: "An ancient communication device used on this planet."''
*''Drake: "It contains technology unknown to Koppai and is emitting a signal even now."''
*''Alph: "If I integrate this device into the Drake's communication system, I should be able to boost our signal's strength!"''
*''Alph: "Looks like it's going to be an all nighter for me!"''
 
 
 
 
 
More than 100 Pikmin in the field
*''"Just as the number of Pikmin in the field reached 100, the Onion stopped spitting out seeds."''
*''"The Pikmin inside the Onion seem to be increasing in number."''
*''"Apparently, once the surface population reached 100, new Pikmin are born inside the Onion."''
*''"This means that a maximum of 100 Pikmin can be active outside the Onion at any one time."''
 
 
 
 
 
Onions merge

Morning after Brittany's rescue and fruit is recovered
*''Alph: "We've finally discovered edible matter!"''
*''Brittany: "Yes! And after careful analysis, my conclusion is that the fruit juice... is delicious!"''
*''Alph: "I've never tasted anything like it on Koppai!"''
*''Brittany: "There's got to be more where that came from. Let's focus our efforts on finding as much as we can!"''
*''Alph: "But don't forget the cosmic drive key! It's no use finding fruit if we can't get it back to Koppai."''
*''Brittany: "Right! Gathering food and locating the cosmic drive key. That should be more than enough to keep us busy."''
*''Alph: "And, err, don't forget the Captain. We need to rescue him as well!"''
*''Brittany: "The Captain? Oh yeah. He almost slipped my mind."''
*''Brittany: "Well I guess we can pick him up along the way."''
 
 
 
 
 
Regarding the mysterious signal in the Garden of Hope
*''Brittany: "What's that signal coming from over there?"''
*''Alph: "It has to be the Captain! Let's hurry up and rescue him!"''
*''Brittany: "...Good idea. He might be hogging all the fruit to himself."''
 
 
 
 
 
Brittany exits cave
*''Brittany: "Phew! It's good to be outside again. I was getting claustrophobic in that cave!"''
*''Brittany: "Hey, there's Alph! And the SS Drake is there, too!"''
*''Brittany: "Alph! I'm over here!"''
*''Alph: "Ah, Brittany! Thank goodness you're OK!"''
*''Alph: "I see you're on the other side of the river!"''
*''Alph: "Our first priority is to reunite, so let's work together! Press Y when you want to hand over control!"''
*''Brittany: "Got it!"''
*''Brittany: "This place is absolutely freezing! If we stay too long, I'm afraid we're going to die of exposure."''
*''Brittany: "That is, if we don't die of starvation first."''
*''Alph: "Hey Brittany!"''
*''Alph: "Did you find something interesting over there?"''
*''Brittany: "Yes, actually! A new type of Pikmin!"''
*''Alph: "Really?!"''
*''Brittany: Yep, they're yellow and have big ears!"''

==Naming==
Alph is short for "Alpha", the term used for the letter A in the phonetic alphabet. This makes sense as Charlie is also used for letter C in the military alphabet; the initial of his name is also the same letter of his prototype name ("Character A"), just like [[Charlie]] and [[Brittany]].


Alph is given the pet name "Alphie" by Brittany on multiple occasions in the US [[region|version]].

However, this does not change the way the juice is distributed and consumed by the characters. According to a [[talk]] conversation, Alph is also allergic to some other plants.{{cite quote|Oh, that's kind of you, Captain, but I'm allergic to a lot of plants.|[[Alph]]|a [[Talk/Small talk#Small talk 44|conversation]]}}

* Alph is also short for Alpha, the term used for the letter A in the phoenetic alphabet. This makes sense as Charlie is also used for C in the military alphabet, also the initial of his name is the same letter of his prototype name (Character A), just like [[Charlie]] and [[Brittany]].
