'''''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''''' and  '''''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''''' ({{j|大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U}}), also collectively and unofficially referred to as '''''Super Smash Bros. 4''''', are the 4th games in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. series]]'', as both games are essentially the same with some minor differences. Several [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'']]-related elements return from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', such as Olimar being a playable character, and the Distant Planet stage being on the 3DS version of the game. At the same time, many new elements from the ''Pikmin'' series also make a debut.

==Pikmin & Olimar==
[[File:Super Smash Bros. 4 Olimar.png|thumb|200px|Official artwork of Olimar from the ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'' website.]]
{{see also|Captain Olimar}}
{{external|Olimar as a fighter|[[smashwiki:Olimar (SSB4)|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}
[[Captain Olimar]] returns as a veteran fighter, retaining much of the moveset and characteristics he had in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', despite being lighter in this installment. Most of his attacks involve using his [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], which are killable, and if none are nearby, those same attacks will fail. Different Pikmin have different properties. The major difference between this game and ''Brawl'' is that here, Olimar may only have 3 Pikmin with him at a time, and they are plucked in order.

===Olimar's moves===
Olimar keeps many of his standard moves from the previous game. Like every veteran, many moves have gone through a slight adjustment.

====Neutral special====
'''Pikmin Pluck''': Olimar [[pluck]]s a Pikmin. However, as stated, he can only keep three Pikmin, and to make the Pikmin use more strategy-based, the Pikmin come in a set order ([[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]], [[White Pikmin|White]], [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]], repeat). The Pikmin that is next in line to be thrown has a pointer above its head. In the 3DS version, all Pikmin stay in their leaf stage and cannot develop buds or flowers.

====Side special====
'''Pikmin Throw''': He [[throw]]s Pikmin, which will latch on and attack, excluding Purple Pikmin, which will just knock the victim back. In general, Pikmin are thrown further than they were in ''Brawl''. In the Wii U version, Pikmin may also [[carry]] small items back if thrown at one, such as Pitfalls and Capsules.

====Up special====
'''Winged Pikmin''': Two [[Winged Pikmin]] appear and lift Olimar and his Pikmin up. Opposite to his recovery move in Brawl, Pikmin Chain, the more Pikmin he currently has, the worse his recovery is.

[[File:End of Day Final Smash SSBWiiU.jpg|thumb|Olimar's Final Smash in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.]]

====Down special====
'''Pikmin Order''': Just like in ''Brawl'', all wayward Pikmin are [[whistle]]d back. There are far fewer super armor frames than there were in ''Brawl''.

====Final Smash====
Olimar maintains the same Final Smash, [[Sunset|End of Day]], from his appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. However, the ship now plummets downward to the stage instead of falling upright. It has a larger blast radius as well. Finally, the player can also adjust where Olimar lands.
[[File:AlphSSB4.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Olimar and Alph as seen on Pic of the Day.]]

===Pikmin===
Each [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] type has some special properties that, for the most part, reflect the Pikmin in the main series. Olimar can use the Pikmin has a melee weapon, as is the case with most of his standard attacks, to grab, pummel, and throw enemies, or he can throw the Pikmin so that they latch on and strike repeatedly.

* [[Red Pikmin]]: All damage caused with Red Pikmin is slightly higher than normal. They also have a [[fire]] effect to them, which can instantly thaw frozen opponents, and are also completely impervious to any attack that has fire properties.
* [[Yellow Pikmin]]: All damage caused also has an [[Electricity|electrical]] damage effect, and when thrown, they are thrown in a higher arc. They are completely immune to attacks with electrical properties.
* [[Blue Pikmin]]: These Pikmin will not be killed if they go in water. To compensate for having no combat-related advantages, they throw opponents farther than other Pikmin when used with a grab command.
* [[White Pikmin]]: Pummel and latch damage caused create clouds of purple gas, which are only aesthetic and reflect White Pikmin's [[poison]] abilities, but cause a lot of damage. They are also quicker than other Pikmin, and when thrown, go quite far, which is an attribute not seen in the canon games.
* [[Purple Pikmin]]: When thrown, they do not go very far and do not latch on to enemies, but instead knock them back. This could be a reference to how a Purple Pikmin's "main" form of attack is to land on enemies with a thud, and only then attacking. Although they cause good damage and knockback, they are the slowest of all Pikmin types.

===Alph===
[[Alph]] was first leaked by a leaker a week prior to the 3DS version's release in Japan. At the time, it was not known if Alph was a new character or an alternate costume.

A few days later, on {{date|11|September|2014}}, Masahiro Sakurai confirmed that Alph was an alternate costume for Olimar.{{cite web|quote=Pic of the day. The hero from Pikmin 3, Alph joins the battle!! He has pretty much the same set skills as Olimar since he's basically just his variation. He can't use Rock Pikmin either.|author=Masahiro Sakurai|https://web.archive.org/web/20171017180515/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKmA_UkTgA|published={{date|11|September|2014}}|Pic of the Day post|Wayback Machine}}{{cite web|quote=They are different characters, so they each get their own title treatment on the character-selection screen. See? It says Alph.|author=Masahiro Sakurai|https://web.archive.org/web/20171105180154/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAABnUYoKV2y9aQ|published={{date|11|September|2014}}|Pic of the Day post replies|Wayback Machine}} He functions exactly the same as Olimar, even when it comes to the stage introduction and Final Smash. He, like Olimar, is unable to use Rock Pikmin. Alph's model is slightly scaled-up, making him slightly larger than he was in ''Pikmin 3'' in order to match Olimar's proportions, so that the two costume choices wouldn't impact gameplay.

{{clear}}
===Alternate costumes===
[[File:Olimar Palette (SSB4).png|frame|center|Olimar's alternate costumes, including Alph.]] {{clear}}
Olimar retains his red spacesuit from ''Brawl''. His green color has gone through changes, as well has his white one. Alph has pink and green suits based off of [[Charlie]] and [[Brittany]], respectively. He also has a red suit that resembles Olimar's.

===Customizations===
Like the other characters in the game, Olimar comes with 2 alternate moves for each of his special attacks, as well as exclusive equipment. For the latter, he can exclusively equip "[[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]" (attack) and "[[Spacesuit|Space Suit]]" (defense) equipment, and can also equip "Boots", which boosts speed.

===Misc.===
[[File:SSB4 Boxing Ring.jpg|thumb|250px|Alph and Olimar's aliases in the Boxing Ring.]]
In the [[smashwiki:Boxing Ring|Boxing Ring stage]], Olimar's alias is "Veteran Astronaut", and [[Alph]]'s is "Astronaut in Training" in the US [[Region|version]], and "Novice Explorer, Engineering Pro" in the European version.

[[smashwiki:Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidances]] are conversations [[icaruspedia:Pit|Pit]] and [[icaruspedia:Palutena|Palutena]] can have on the [[smashwiki:Palutena's Temple|Palutena's Temple stage]]. These conversations give details about a fighter Pit is facing. The Guidance Conversation regarding Captain Olimar or Alph features Pit, Palutena, and [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]]. It is written below:

:'''Pit''': {{transcript|Oh, it's that explorer guy.}}

:'''Palutena''': {{transcript|Did you know that [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are named after [[Pikpik carrot]]s, a vegetable native to [[Hocotate]]?}}

:'''Pit''': {{transcript|Huh. Guess you learn something new every day.}}

:'''Viridi''': {{transcript|Enough with the pointless fun facts. Let's talk fighting strategy. Here's what I know about these Pikmin. [[Red Pikmin]] are strong! [[Yellow Pikmin]] fly high! [[Blue Pikmin]] have the mightiest throw! [[White Pikmin]] are fastest! [[Purple Pikmin]] are heavy and the most powerful! Be sure you remember all this, Pit.}}

:'''Pit''': {{transcript|Uh, right.}}

:'''Palutena''': {{transcript|There are also [[Winged Pikmin]] that don't attack you. Numerous Pikmin will weigh down the Winged Pikmin. And that's when you should attack!}}

==Stages==
===Garden of Hope===
{{main|Garden of Hope#In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|t1=Garden of Hope}}
{{external|the Garden of Hope arena|[[smashwiki:Garden of Hope|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}

A stage based on the eponymous [[Garden of Hope]] is available from the start in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. For the most part, the layout is identical to that of the ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' area, with some changes to make it more akin to a ''Super Smash Bros.'' battle arena. One of the key hazards in the area is the [[Peckish Aristocrab]]. It scuttles around, knocking down the [[Fragment|fragmented teacup]] and [[climbing stick]]s, and knocking back fighters who touch it. Wild Pikmin can fix the damage caused by the crab. Fighters can destroy the teacup, the climbing stick and the [[bridge]]. Two [[elevator platform]]s also exist.

===Distant Planet===
{{Main|PNF-404#In the Super Smash Bros. series|t1=PNF-404}}
{{external|the Distant Planet arena|[[smashwiki:Distant Planet|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}

The Distant Planet stage is present as a ''Brawl'' stage in the 3DS version. As a whole, not much has changed from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', aside from some minor changes in the background. Just like in ''Brawl'', the stage seems based off of [[The Forest of Hope]] and the [[Awakening Wood]].

The Omega form of this stage takes away all the vegetation and leaves a simple dirt platform to fight on. This form also provides a better view of the background.

==Hocotate Bomb==
[[File:SSB4 Hocotate Ship Item Screenshot.jpg|thumb|250px|The Hocotate Bomb item, with Olimar and Sonic looking at it.]]
{{external|the Hocotate Bomb item|[[smashwiki:Hocotate Bomb|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}

The Hocotate Bomb is a new item in both versions of the game. It looks like the [[Hocotate ship]], and when triggered, it flies up in the air, then crashes back down much like the Warp Star item. However, it should be noted that the bomb will crash down abruptly, giving no indication of when it will drop. The explosion it causes is quite big, and could result in a KO if it hits an opponent. The Hocotate ship is still used for Olimar's Final Smash, End of Day.

{{clear}}

==Smash Run==
[[File:Bulborbsmashrun.png|thumb|The Red Bulborb on a floating platform in Smash Run.]]
{{external|Smash Run|[[smashwiki:Smash Run|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}

Two enemies from the ''Pikmin'' series appear in the 3DS-exclusive mode, Smash Run.

===Red Bulborb===
The [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]] appears as an enemy in Smash Run. It is a strong enemy that attacks by charging and biting. It seems to be based off of its ''Pikmin 2'' design, having purple eyes instead of blue, and smoother skin. The Bulborb's attacks have strong knockback and cause considerable damage, making them a formidable foe; arguably one of the hardest. It has a simple charging attack, a biting attack, and even a backwards jumping attack to attack players behind it. It is a semi-rare enemy to find.

===Iridescent Glint Beetle===
[[File:SSB4 Iridescent Glint Beetle Screenshot.jpg|thumb|left|The Iridescent Glint Beetle in Smash Run.]]

The [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] is one of the rarest enemies in Smash Run, only appearing in small caves that are normally out of the way. It will only reveal itself after the player walks over its hiding place. Once it pops out, hitting it will cause it to release golden coin bags.

{{clear}}

==Smash Tour==
{{external|Smash Tour|[[smashwiki:Smash Tour|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}

In the Wii U-exclusive mode Smash Tour, the [[Yellow Wollywog]] and [[Plasm Wraith]] appear as usable trophies. The Yellow Wollywog trophy nullifies any trap that the user steps on on the board, and the Plasm Wraith trophy will heal the player if they block attacks using a shield, in-battle. An [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] will also occasionally appear on the board, and will drop extra fighters if a player bumps into it. Usually, two of these appear at once.

==Trophies==
{{external|the ''Pikmin''-related trophies|[[smashwiki:List of SSB4 trophies (Pikmin series)|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}

Trophies are a key part of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' franchise, and there are quite a few ''Pikmin'' trophies.

===3DS version===
A good amount of trophies from the ''Pikmin'' franchise are present in the 3DS version, but not nearly as many as the number of trophies in ''Brawl''. They are listed below.

====Trophy Boxes====
There are 3 Trophy Boxes for the ''Pikmin'' series. One is "Space Explorers", which holds all main characters from the Pikmin series, and their spaceships. It also holds the Hocotate Bomb, although it technically isn't a ship. Another is "Pikmin", which showcases the known species of Pikmin. The last is "Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures" (US) / "Pikmin Enemies" (Europe), which holds all enemy trophies, excluding the Iridescent Glint Beetle. The End of Day trophy is in the Trophy Box titled "Final Smashes 3". The Iridescent Glint Beetle and the pellets do not have a trophy box.

==Olimar amiibo==
{{main|amiibo}}

Like all other ''Smash'' fighters in this installment, Olimar has an amiibo of himself as a fighter. The amiibo has Olimar and one Pikmin of each of the three primary types, and in this game, it serves as a figure player, like all other fighter amiibo. However, Olimar's amiibo can be used in a few other games as well to unlock certain content. For instance, in ''Mario Kart 8'', using the amiibo unlocks a [[spacesuit]] outfit styled like Captain Olimar's.

==Trivia==
*Oddly, the [[Mission Mode]] remix theme has "(Pikmin 3)" in the title, in order to disambiguate the game the song belongs to. This is pointless, however, as only ''Pikmin 3'' has a [[Mission Mode]] &ndash; the previous games have a mode called [[Challenge Mode]].
*The trophy descriptions have a small number of errors in them. A list of such mistakes can be found [[Mistake#Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U trophies|here]].
*Unlike most characters, Olimar's animations are slightly different between ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. The light on Olimar's head obeys its own bobbing physics in the Wii U version, while it remains fully static in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.
