''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is the name by which the newest installment in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' franchise goes by. The game is set to be released in October 3, 2014 for the 3DS, and Winter of 2014 for the Wii U. As the game is still in development, not all ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]''-related details are known at the moment.
'''''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''''' and '''''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS''''', or referred as '''''SSB4''''' are the dual platform, 4th addition to the ''Super Smash Bros. ''franchise. [[Olimar]] returns as a veteran from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' with the original five Pikmin types. 


==Olimar & Pikmin==
==Pikmin & Olimar==
Olimar returns as a veteran fighter, retaining much of the moveset he had in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Few details have been announced regarding the changes, but the following are known:
[[File:Captain_Olimar_and_Pikmin_-_Super_Smash_Bros._for_Nintendo_3DS_and_Wii_U.png|thumb|left|148px]] Olimar was confirmed to be a playable character on the 12th of July 2013 (a day before the Japanese release of ''Pikmin 3'') on the ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS ''website.


*His look is more based on ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', most notably the [[whistle]] on his [[spacesuit]].
In appearance, the captain has undergone a few changes from his appearance in the predecessor. Most noteably, his whistle is now connected to the helmet, 
*One of Olimar's standard attacks is a [[punch]], much like the ones in the original ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' games.
*Olimar may only have three Pikmin with him at a time (as opposed to six). In addition, [[pluck]]ing is in a set order. This facilitates organization and strategy with the different types of Pikmin.
*His up special move was changed completely, from a tether recovery to [[Winged Pikmin]]: the Pikmin [[carrying|carry]] Olimar and his Pikmin back into the stage, but the more Pikmin there are in the party, the heavier the group, and hence, the smaller the distance until the Winged Pikmin are exhausted.


==Garden of Hope==
which was introduced in ''[[Pikmin 3]]. ''The top two buttons on his [[Spacesuit|spacesuit]] have also changed from red to blue. He now also sports [[Hocotate Freight|his company's]] logo on his arms.
A stage based on the [[Garden of Hope]] has been revealed as a playable arena in the Wii U version. It features a long main platform, with some slants, and edges that drop off to the bottom blast line. Two [[Elevator Platform]]s exist on the far left and right sides. In the background, the [[S.S. Drake]] can be seen.


==Other info==
Olimar will only pluck up to '''3 '''Pikmin at any given time, in the order of Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, and then the cycle repeats. A group of [[Winged Pikmin]] appear to lift Olimar up for his recovery move. The player will be able to have Olimar lift his Pikmin with him as well, but this will make the Winged Pikmin fly slower and lower.
*Bulborbs are known to appear as enemies in the 3DS version exclusive mode titled Smash Run.
 
*An item known as the Hocotate Bomb will appear, and function similar to [[smashwiki:Warp Star|Warp Stars]].
===Confirmed Information===
*Pikmin appear to be slightly larger; Olimar's size appears mostly unchanged.
*The following moves are visually unchanged from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'':
**Forward tilt
**Forward smash
**Down smash
**Back aerial
**Down taunt
*[[Hocotate Ship]] is known to return in a capacity other than as Olimar's Final Smash.
*Olimar now can only have 3 Pikmin in his possession.
*Olimar's up special, originally Pikmin vine, has been replaced with two Winged Pikmin.
*Brittany is not a playable character.
 
===Olimar's Moves===
From what the screenshots show us, Olimar keeps many of his standard moves from the previous game. However, we have not seen the use of any special move in a screenshot. Thanks to the Super Smash Bros. Direct on Arpil 8th, 2014, we have gotten a little more information. 
===='''Standard Special Move'''====
Pikmin Pluck: Olimar plucks Pikmin. However, as stated, he can only carry three Pikmin, and to make the Pikmin use more strategy based, the Pikmin come in a set order (Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, repeat).
===='''Side Special Move'''====
Pikmin Throw: Unchanged from ''Brawl''. He throws Pikmin, and the Pikmin, unless it's a Purple, will latch on. Purples knock the victim back.
===='''Up Special Move'''====
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.
 
===='''Down Special Move'''====
Call to Order: Just like in ''Brawl'', all wayward Pikmin are called back. No alterations to this move has been confirmed.
====[[File:SSB4EndofDay.png|thumb|Olimar's Final Smash in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. ]]====
===='''Final Smash'''====
 
Olimar maintains the same Final Smash, End of Day, from his appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
 
==Garden of Hope Stage==
 
[[File:SSB4GardenStage.jpg|thumb|330px|The full view of the Garden of Hope stage. Note the many differences. ]]The Garden of Hope is a playable stage for the Wii U installment of the series. It is currently unknown if there will be a ''Pikmin''-related stage for the 3DS counterpart.
 
The main arena takes place in the second half of the area accessible once Louie runs away with the juice. There are a few changes, however:
*The pieces of land are now connected by a Bridge.
*The Drake is seen in the area with a Burgeoning Spiderwort and a Tin Box in the real game. 
*The cup, which is constucted out of Fragments, is now on land. 
*There are Elevator Platforms on each  of the ends of the stage. 
*There is a Climbing Stick on the right half of the stage that you can stand on. 
*There is a Tin Can in place of the Bamboo Gate.
*Most significantly, the other part of the area is no longer there. Instead, there is a massive waterfall. 
At this time, there appears to be no stage hazards that inflict damage upon a player
 
==Hocotate Bomb==
[[File:Hocotate_Ship_SSB4.jpeg|thumb|250px|The Hocotate Ship Bomb item, with Olimar and Sonic looking at it. ]]
On Miiverse and the ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U'' official website, Sakurai posted an image of Sonic and Olimar next to a small model of the [[Hocotate Ship]], in which he stated that it is a new bomb item that, when triggered, flies up in the air, then crashes back down much like the Warp Star item. The Hocotate Ship is still used for Olimar's Final Smash, End of Day.
 
===Post by Sakurai===
''"Pic of the day. Is this a spaceship from Hocotate? No-this is a bomb SHAPED like a spaceship. After liftoff, it will drop down when you least expect it."''
 
==Smash Run==
2 enemies from the ''Pikmin ''series are confirmed to appear in the 3DS exclusive mode, Smash Run.
===Red Bulborb===
[[File:Bulborbsmashrun.png|thumb|Bulborbs will appear as enemies on the Super Smash Bros. 3DS exclusive Smash Run.]]
 
The [[Red Bulborb]] appears in Smash Run. It seems to be a basic enemy that attacks by charging. It seems to be based off of its ''Pikmin 2 ''design, having purple eyes instead of blue. Not much else is known about the creature. 
===Iridescent Glint Beetle===
[[File:GlintBeetleSmash.png|thumb|left|The Glint Beetle in Smash Run.]]
 
On a post revealed by Sakurai on Miiverse, the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] will appear as an enemy in Smash Run for ''Super Smash Brothers for 3DS. ''Based on the post, it seems like hitting the creature will result an it popping out items, similar to the actual creature. It seems like if the player hits it more, it will drop better items (again, like in the actual ''Pikmin'' Series). 
====Post by Sakurai====

Pikmin & Olimar

File:Captain Olimar and Pikmin - Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.png

Olimar was confirmed to be a playable character on the 12th of July 2013 (a day before the Japanese release of Pikmin 3) on the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS website.

In appearance, the captain has undergone a few changes from his appearance in the predecessor. Most noteably, his whistle is now connected to the helmet, 

which was introduced in Pikmin 3. The top two buttons on his spacesuit have also changed from red to blue. He now also sports his company's logo on his arms.

Olimar will only pluck up to 3 Pikmin at any given time, in the order of Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, and then the cycle repeats. A group of Winged Pikmin appear to lift Olimar up for his recovery move. The player will be able to have Olimar lift his Pikmin with him as well, but this will make the Winged Pikmin fly slower and lower.

Confirmed Information

  • Pikmin appear to be slightly larger; Olimar's size appears mostly unchanged.
  • The following moves are visually unchanged from Brawl:
    • Forward tilt
    • Forward smash
    • Down smash
    • Back aerial
    • Down taunt
  • Hocotate Ship is known to return in a capacity other than as Olimar's Final Smash.
  • Olimar now can only have 3 Pikmin in his possession.
  • Olimar's up special, originally Pikmin vine, has been replaced with two Winged Pikmin.
  • Brittany is not a playable character.

Garden of Hope Stage

The full view of the Garden of Hope stage. Note the many differences.

The Garden of Hope is a playable stage for the Wii U installment of the series. It is currently unknown if there will be a Pikmin-related stage for the 3DS counterpart.

The main arena takes place in the second half of the area accessible once Louie runs away with the juice. There are a few changes, however:

  • The pieces of land are now connected by a Bridge.
  • The Drake is seen in the area with a Burgeoning Spiderwort and a Tin Box in the real game. 
  • The cup, which is constucted out of Fragments, is now on land. 
  • There are Elevator Platforms on each  of the ends of the stage. 
  • There is a Climbing Stick on the right half of the stage that you can stand on. 
  • There is a Tin Can in place of the Bamboo Gate.
  • Most significantly, the other part of the area is no longer there. Instead, there is a massive waterfall. 

At this time, there appears to be no stage hazards that inflict damage upon a player

Hocotate Bomb

On Miiverse and the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U official website, Sakurai posted an image of Sonic and Olimar next to a small model of the Hocotate Ship, in which he stated that it is a new bomb item that, when triggered, flies up in the air, then crashes back down much like the Warp Star item. The Hocotate Ship is still used for Olimar's Final Smash, End of Day.

Post by Sakurai

"Pic of the day. Is this a spaceship from Hocotate? No-this is a bomb SHAPED like a spaceship. After liftoff, it will drop down when you least expect it."

Smash Run

2 enemies from the Pikmin series are confirmed to appear in the 3DS exclusive mode, Smash Run.

Red Bulborb

A Bulborb in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
Bulborbs will appear as enemies on the Super Smash Bros. 3DS exclusive Smash Run.

The Red Bulborb appears in Smash Run. It seems to be a basic enemy that attacks by charging. It seems to be based off of its Pikmin 2 design, having purple eyes instead of blue. Not much else is known about the creature. 

Iridescent Glint Beetle

On a post revealed by Sakurai on Miiverse, the Iridescent Glint Beetle will appear as an enemy in Smash Run for Super Smash Brothers for 3DS. Based on the post, it seems like hitting the creature will result an it popping out items, similar to the actual creature. It seems like if the player hits it more, it will drop better items (again, like in the actual Pikmin Series). 

Post by Sakurai

"There are other bonus characters that appear in this game, too. Here's an Iridescent Glint Beetle from the Pikmin series. Keep hitting it!! Keep hitting it for gold!!"[1]

Trophies

Brittany's Trophy as seen in SSB4.

So far, Brittany is the only revealed trophy from the Pikmin series. However, assuming the that this installment follows the trophy pattern from the previous installments, Olimar, his Pikmin, the Hocotate Bomb, and his Final Smash will all get trophies of their own.
