'''''Super Smash Bros.''''' is a series of fighting video games published by [[Nintendo]]. The settings, fighters, items, and other elements are taken from various Nintendo franchises. The [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] is included in these franchises, starting in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' with two trophies and advancing to a major role in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward, in which a ''Pikmin'' character – [[Captain Olimar]] – and [[area]]s are part of the available fighter and stage selections, respectively.

The first game in the series was released for the Nintendo 64, and features twelve playable characters and nine stages. As ''Pikmin'' did not exist at the time of the game's release, it features no ''Pikmin''-related content.

This game features a much larger roster, with 26 characters and 29 stages. Some months before the release of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' was released for the same console, the [[GameCube]]. There were no plans to include ''Pikmin'' franchise elements into the core gameplay, but the series still made its way into the game in the form of two collectible trophies; one for [[Captain Olimar]], and one for the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. The former is only unlocked if the player has a ''Pikmin'' [[saved game]] on their memory card, while the latter must be won through the game's trophy lottery feature.

''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was released for the [[Wii]], and features 36 fighters, two of which are third-party. This game also marks the addition of [[Captain Olimar]] as a fighter to the series. Alongside the five types of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Olimar combats using his Pikmin as weapons, either melee or ranged. Many trophies that are based off characters and objects of the ''Pikmin'' franchise are included, and a stage named [[Distant Planet]] based on the [[Awakening Wood]] is also available.

''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'', refers to ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. These games bring back Captain Olimar as a veteran fighter, and the Wii U version contains a stage based on the [[Garden of Hope]]. Olimar also received four alternate costumes that replace his model with that of [[Alph]]. Distant Planet also returns as a stage on the 3DS version, and there are new trophies available.

The fifth and latest entry in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' franchise, released world-wide on December 7th, 2018. Captain Olimar, Alph (as an Olimar reskin) and several ''Pikmin'' elements return in this entry, and some new ones are also introduced, most notably the addition of a [[Burrowing Snagret]] as an Assist Trophy, and multiple Spirits based on the ''Pikmin'' franchise.

 

[[Captain Charlie]] is featured in World of Light as one of the Master Spirits. He runs a side-activity that allows the player to send up to four Spirits off on a "research expedition" to recover helpful items.
