'''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' is the third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. It is the only series where Pikmin elements have exceeded a couple of trophies, most notably for the inclusion of [[Olimar]] as a playable character. 
__TOC__

==Olimar & Pikmin==
[[Image:Pikmin 080109b-l.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Olimar and the 5 kinds of Pikmin in Brawl.]]
Olimar is featured as one of the playable characters in the third game of the series, 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 plucked from the ground, the color is randomly 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.


Olimar's pikmin are immune to the same elemental [[hazard]]s as in the [[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 Fart attack, or any other move which might be considered poison-based. Purple Pikmin have more stamina when attacked (sometimes taking several hits before being killed).[[File:OlimarColors.jpg|thumb|400px|Olimar's possible color schemes]]
==Olimar's moves==
[[File:Symbol-pikmin.gif|thumb|Olimar's Battle Icon]]
Captain Olimar is among the most specialized characters within the cast of Smash Brothers Brawl.
In order to really unleash Olimar’s full potential, you’ve got to have a good knowledge of his helpful cohorts, the Pikmin!
===='''Standard Special Move: Pikmin Pluck'''====
[[File:B.jpg|thumb|left|Pluck, pluck, pluck pikmin!]]
First uproot a few Pikmin from the ground. You can have up to six Pikmin at one time. As long as there is ground beneath your feet, you can reach down and pull up a Pikmin, but be aware that certain Pikmin are more likely to appear in specific types of flooring.
There are 5 types of Pikmin to use:
- Red Pikmin -
*High attack power
*Attacks imbued with incendiary properties
*Immune to fire
- Yellow Pikmin -
*Range of attack slightly larger than usual;<br />easy to hit enemies with
*Travel in slight arcs when thrown
*Attacks imbued with electrical properties
- Blue Pikmin -
*Strong when thrown
*Slightly more durable than average
*Can swim
- Purple Pikmin -
*Doesn’t fly far when thrown
*Slow
*High attack power
*Slams into enemies instead of<br />latching on when thrown
- White Pikmin -
*Quick and light
*When latched onto opponent,<br />poison does additional damage
*Easier for a foe to kill
You can figure out which Pikmin you will attack with next by looking at the order they are lined up in.
[[File:Pikmin 080111g.jpg|thumb|left|You'll use a red pikmin in your next attack.]]
[[File:Pikmin 080111h.jpg|thumb|Be careful with your Pikmin!]]In order to perform a Smash Attack, certain midair attacks, and even throws, you’re going to need Pikmin!
Anyhow, just do your best to not kill off your platoon. Olimar does not stand much of a chance by himself.
[[File:B Side.jpg|thumb|left|Throw pikmin at your enemies for massive damage!]]
===='''Side Special Move: Pikmin Throw'''====
Throw Pikmin that latch on to your opponent! (Except for Purple Pikmin, they just do knockback.) 
[[File:B Up.jpg|thumb|Just imagine what would happen if you were short one pikmin!]]
===='''Up Special Move: Pikmin Chain'''====
If you think you’re about to plunge to your doom, this right here is your best chance for survival.
The recovery distance for this technique is dependent upon the number of Pikmin currently in your troop!     
[[File:B Down.jpg|thumb|left|TWEEET! Everyone line up!]]
===='''Down Special Move: Pikmin Order'''====
Call back Pikmin who have managed to separate from you. You can also use this technique to shift a new Pikmin to the front of the line. This attack also has [http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Launch_resistance Super Armor], meaning that during the first few frames of this attack, he's resistant to all launching a foe could potentially deal.
So there you have it. Olimar can now jump unlike in the[[Pikmin (game)| Pikmin games]].
==Distant Planet==
[[Image:Distantplanet1.PNG|thumb|left|250px|The "Distant Planet", a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.]]
There is a stage based on the [[Awakening Wood]], named the ''Distant Planet''. Like Olimar, you start the game with the option to play on this stage.
The stage is made up of 5 platforms, with the addition of being able to walk on top of a [[Red Bulborb]] when it's visible. There's in inclined ledge to the left, a platform made up of tangled vines, and three leaves that will lower themselves when a player is standing on them. 
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 more steeper angle than they are in the games.
A large Red Bulborb will appear at the right of the screen every now and then, which can eat players (K.O.ing them) if they fall into it's mouth or if they stand on top of it for too long. However, unlike the ''Pikmin ''series, they won't eat Olimar's Pikmin if they're thrown in.
[[File:Distant_Planet_screenshots.jpg|thumb|324px|The hazards in the Distant Planet.]]
Some human-made objects are visible, such as an [[Utter Scrap]] before its crushed state. It also sports the ''Super Smash Bros. ''symbol on the side.
[[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] can also grow in the stage, and can produce [[Pellet]]s that, when thrown into [[onion|Pikmin Onions]], produce items. Pellets of the same color as the onion they're thrown into produce more items. The onions will land will fly down and land on one of the three leaves. Only one onion will be on the stage at a time.
It may also rain, causing a water slide on the inclined platform. This becomes a hazard since it will fling players off the ledge, causing them to fall out of bounds if they don't recover.
There is a sleeping Bulborb, a [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]], and a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] appear in the background, but they don't serve any purpose besides background decoration. 
<span style="line-height:20px;">These tunes can play during the stage (Ones in bold need to be unlocked):</span>

==The Subspace Emissary==
{{spoiler}}
In the Subspace Emissary, Olimar is first found fighting a giant [[R.O.B.]] without success, from which he is saved by Captain Falcon. The game pairs him with Olimar in his following playable sections. Upon reaching the edge of the Island of the Ancients, they witness Diddy Kong attacking Primids and rescuing Donkey Kong; Falcon and Olimar then join forces with the Kongs.
Following, Olimar and his crew are taken inside the Subspace Bomb Factory. They eventually find the Ancient Minister, along with Pikachu and Samus Aran. Ganondorf suddenly appears and commands the R.O.B.s in the room to detonate the Subspace Bombs in the room so he can create a large enough hole in space to fit a Subspace Gunship through. The Ancient Minister reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and, along with Olimar and the rest, escapes from the island before it is sucked into Subspace. All characters then Subspace, with Olimar flying [[the Ship|the Ship along]] side other characters' aircraft.

!Description
|-
|Pikmin & Olimar
|
Veteran spacefarers in the employ of Hocotate Freight. After crash- landing on an enigmatic planet, Olimar met the mysterious beings known as Pikmin. He enlisted their aid to find his spaceship parts and help him escape. Once home, he found his employer on the verge of bankruptcy. He was sent back to the Pikmin world with his partner, Louie, to repay the company debt.

|End of Day
|
Olimar's Final Smash. Dusk falls, and his spaceship makes a landing. Olimar takes the Onion, with all his Pikmin aboard, and blasts off for the stars. In Pikmin, native life-forms grew active and violent at night, making it lethal to remain on the surface—this is why Olimar would take his Onions and leave at night. This technique breaks the framework of the game.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
|-
|[[Red Pikmin]]
|
A type of Pikmin—which are odd beings who grow like plants yet are as mobile as animals. Red ones are heat and fire resistant and are strong attackers, which makes them valuable when facing dangerous foes. Purple Pikmin are also tough fighters, but since it's difficult to increase their numbers, red Pikmin are easier to manage. Red Pikmin have distinct pointed noses.
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Blue Pikmin]]
|
A type of Pikmin, which are curious creatures that follow and obey the person who picks them. If you take advantage of this trait, you can get them to help Capt. Olimar and Louie. The blue Pikmin are at home in water and cannot drown. Need to retrieve an object underwater or cross a water hazard to disarm a trap? Blue Pikmin are just the allies you need.
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Yellow Pikmin]]
|
A type of Pikmin. Take a nutrient- rich pellet to a flying saucer known as an Onion, and it will produce the mysterious beings known as Pikmin. Yellow ones fly higher than other Pikmin when tossed by Olimar or Louie. Unlike other Pikmin, they're also highly resistant to electricity, which makes them invaluable when battling enemies like anode dweevils.
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[White Pikmin]]
|
A type of Pikmin. White Pikmin are resistant to poisons and are themselves toxic to creatures that eat them. Their low weight makes them very speedy, and they can also dig up buried items. White and purple Pikmin do not live inside Onions, so you must change other Pikmin into them by tossing them into ivory candypop buds and violet candypop buds.
Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Purple Pikmin]]
|
A type of Pikmin, much heavier and slower than other Pikmin. When thrown, they impact with such force that they may kill or stun enemies. They're also incredibly strong—one of them can carry an item that normally would require ten Pikmin. While they're more powerful fighters than their red cousins, their slow speed hampers their effectiveness.
Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Louie]]
|
A new Hocotate Freight employee. Louie is responsible for Captain Olimar having to venture back to the Pikmin planet. On his first delivery, Louie was supposedly attacked by a space bunny that devoured his whole lot of pikpik carrots. Pushed to the verge of bankruptcy, Hocotate Freight takes out an enormous loan that Louie and Olimar set out to pay back.
Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[The President]]
|
The president of Hocotate Freight. After venturing into space in his youth, he made a shipping company. When it almost collapses after Louie's incident, and Olimar comes back from the Pikmin planet, the president discovers the outstanding value of Olimar's souvenir. He then sends his employees back to collect valuable treasures. His treatment of employees is questionable.
Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[The Ship|Hocotate Ship]]
|
A battered old spaceship used when Hocotate Freight first opened. Its appraisal gauge analyzed garbage Olimar brought home and found it to be valuable. With his new ship sold off to pay company debts, Louie and Olimar flew this one back to the Pikmin world to find more treasure. The ship's removable research pod accompanied the adventurers when they ventured underground.
Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Onion]]s
|
Items considered to be the places where Pikmin are born. As to the actual biology of the process, much is still unclear. Onions absorb the prey that Pikmin capture and use it to produce new Pikmin. In addition, Onions can take in Pikmin and later release them. These organisms are crowned with distinctive propeller- like sets of leaves that spin around, enabling them to fly.
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]
|
An enemy flower and a member of the chrysanthemum family that closely resembles the Margaret flower. This flower feeds on prey and, despite being a plant, performs no photosynthesis and exposes no leaves—just flowers on top. It usually stays underground with only its flowers exposed, waiting to jump out and attack. It also uses rootlike legs to walk around.
Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Red Bulborb]]
|
A creature whose Japanese name translates as "spotted crimson bug-eye." These bulky nocturnal animals have white-and-red-flecked rumps that resemble strawberries. Red bulborbs sleep in the day and wake in the evening to feed on small animals. Several colors of bulborb subspecies have been discovered—their classification is a hot subject for scholers
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Empress Bulblax]]
|
A member of the grub-dog family, transformed by environmental factors. Due to her ridiculous size, the empress bulblax can no longer walk on her tiny legs. She just wiggles around, rolling from left to right. Although the female continues spawning bulborb larvae, she unfortunately rolls over them with her massive body.
Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Careening Dirigibug]]
|
A dangerous, offensive-minded creature. It uses balloons to keep it afloat as it flies through the air and drops bomb-rocks on ground-bound prey. These Bomb-rocks sometimes turn out to be duds, but since the slightest stimulus can set these things off, the ultimate care should be taken with them.
Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Fiery Blowhog]]
|
A member of the blowhog family characterized by its bottle-shaped body and slow lumbering movement. Skillful in the use of its red snout and able to violently shake off Pikmin, the fiery blowhog is also capable of spitting a volatile phosphorous compound that combusts on contact with air, threatening nearby enemies
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Burrowing Snagret]]
|
A member of the snavian family with a birdlike head and a snakelike neck and body. An underground dweller, the snagret makes sudden strikes aboveground to capture surface-dwelling prey. It uses its beak to sccop up daily nutrition and can snatch up three Pikmin at once—a relatively small amount made deadly by its strike speed. No one has ever seen its tail.
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]
|
A member of the flint beetle family featuring an iridescent, shining shell that is also prized for its strength. These beetles are packed with nectar and pellets, which they drop when attacked. These can be collected, although the reason for doing so is unknown. Apparently, Pikmin are quite attracted to these beetles—the sight of one will send them running after it.
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Wollywog]]
|
A member of the amphituber family known to be quite quick witted upon spotting enemies, despite its slow- moving, easygoing nature. Be aware that wollywogs will make aggressive attempts to smash Pikmin. It is believed that the wollywog's whitish coloration is a result of a lack of sunlight over its generations spent in caves.
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Swooping Snitchbug]]
|
A member of the scarpanid family. Although originally a ground dweller, its oversized antennae developed into wings, allowing it to fly around freely. the snitchbug doesn't eat Pikmin, but rather picks them up, carries them away, and firmly replants them in another location.
Pikmin (GC) Pikmin 2 (GC)
|-
|[[Pellet]]s
|
Items that contain concentrated essence of the Pikmin's home world. This essence is the keystone to all life on the planet. Harvested from pellet grass or flowers, Pikmin can take pellets back to Onions to produce more Pikmin. If the Onion and the pellet are the same color, it produces more Pikmin. The number on the top of a pellet tells how many Pikmin must carry it.

== Glitch ==
There is a [[:Category:Glitches|glitch]] that can be done with Pikmin & Olimar on Green Greens. Using only red, white, and blue Pikmin, throw them against the yellow star blocks on the left and right sides of the stage. The Pikmin will continue to spin in midair, and any player that makes contact with them will take large amounts of damage. The effects of this glitch can be mulitiplied depending on how many players using Olimar are present.
'''''Warning''''': This glitch will most likely result in a crash if too many Pikmin are thrown. The Wii may refuse to read the disk after resetting. 
==Trivia==
*One of [[Olimar|Olimar's]] colors resembles [[Louie|Louie's]] Suit.
