'''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''''' (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズX, ''Dai rantō sumasshuburazāzu X'') is the third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. It is the first game in the series where ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' elements have exceeded a couple of trophies, most notably for the inclusion of [[Olimar]] as a playable character.

Olimar is featured as one of the playable characters in this game, and is on the starting roster (as opposed to being a secret character that needs to be unlocked). Nearly all of his moves involve the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], making him dependent on them. Even the simple "grab", in which the player holds an opponent, requires Pikmin. Up to six of these can be [[pluck]]ed from the ground, the type is [[Randomness|random]]ly determined. The range of Pikmin covers all of those that are found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' except [[Bulbmin]]. The Pikmin are immune to attacks when they are with Olimar but if they are away from him they can be killed rather easily. Olimar does not take damage when this happens, and each dead one allows one more to be pulled from the ground.

Up to six of these can be [[pluck]]ed from the ground, their type [[Randomness|random]]ly determined. The range of Pikmin covers all of those that are found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' except [[Bulbmin]]. The Pikmin are not affected by attacks when they are with Olimar, but if they are away from him they can be killed rather easily. Olimar does not take damage when this happens, and each dead one allows one more to be pulled from the ground.


Olimar's Pikmin are immune to the same elemental [[hazard]]s as in the [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]]. For example, [[Blue Pikmin]] will not drown like other Pikmin when Olimar falls in water (they can also swim if thrown in), [[Yellow Pikmin]] can survive going through electrical currents created by Pikachu and various enemies in story mode (even though the electrocution noise is still made), and [[Red Pikmin]] are immune to the flames of Bowser or Charizard. White Pikmin, however, are not immune to Wario's down special attack (which is a heavy flatulence) or any other move which might be considered poison-based. Purple Pikmin have more stamina when attacked (sometimes taking several hits before being killed).

Purple Pikmin have more stamina when attacked (sometimes taking several hits before being killed).
 
Statistically, Olimar holds the spot as the 3rd best character (behind Meta Knight at Ice Climbers) in the game and the best character in the A+ tier. He is placed there because of his fast and powerful attacks, great match-ups, damage racking abilities, and a good camping game. Many of his moves are unpunishable, and with his variety of Pikmin, unpredictable.

;Final Smash – [[smashwiki:End Of Day|End of Day]]
:Olimar takes off in his spaceship (which traps and hurts enemies if they are next to Olimar, doing about 27% damage from entering to take-off), leaving his opponents alone for [[Bulborb]]s to attack them during the [[sunset]]. The opponents receive about 47% damage from the Bulborbs' attacks. Afterwards, the ship crash lands back onto the stage, hurting (34%) anyone in its path. Despite being left behind, Olimar's Pikmin are unharmed.

:The confirmation of the move at Smash Bros. DOJO!! stated that if more fighters are present, the move does more damage. On the other hand, if more fighters are dueling when this Final Smash is initiated, then there is more of a chance that the fighters would steal Olimar's KOs. Masahiro Sakurai stated that this was to balance the move out.
:The ship is a Meteor Smash if it hits a foe in midair. Another possible use of End of Day therefore is to edgeguard by intercepting recovering enemies with the ship.

[[File:Distantplanet1.PNG|thumb|left|200px|The "Distant Planet", a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.]]
There is a stage based on the [[Planet of the Pikmin]] (mostly the [[Awakening Wood]]), named the '''[[smashwiki:Distant Planet|Distant Planet]]'''. [[Red Bulborb]]s appear on occasion, which can eat players, and some human-made objects are visible, such as an [[Utter Scrap|empty drinks can]]. [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] are seen too, and can produce [[Pellet]]s that, when thrown into [[Onion|Pikmin onions]], produce items. There is another Bulborb and a [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] in the background, but neither of these two do anything. Music in this stage is from the [[Forest of Hope]].

The [[music]] in this stage is taken from several points in the first two games, either directly ripped or remixed. The exceptions are a track consisted entirely of ambience noises, the only one of its kind in the game, and the title theme for ''[[NWiki:Big Brain Academy]]''.
 
Some parts of the stage are very out of proportion compared to their appearance in the ''Pikmin ''series. For example, The Bulborb is way more massive than it is the games. The Onions are also really small and their legs are at a steeper angle than they are in the games.

== Glitch ==
There is a [[Glitches|glitch]] that can be done with Pikmin & Olimar. The more Olimars there are on the battlefield, the bigger the glitch will be. The "Green Greens" stage is necessary, and each of the Olimars may only have Red, White, or Blue Pikmin. These need to be thrown against the yellow blocks on either side. The Pikmin will continue to circle in mid-air, and large amounts of damage can be dealt by moving an opponent into it. This glitch could result in a crash if too many Pikmin are thrown.

==Trivia==
*One of [[Olimar|Olimar's]] color schemes resembles [[Louie]]'s [[spacesuit]]. Another color scheme repsents a real-world astronaut's suit.
*''Pikmin'' stickers are the only stickers (aside from the Mach Rider sticker) to use a colored background instead of a white, grey, or black background.
