Captain Olimar & Pikmin



Character Name: Captain Olimar & Pikmin
First Appearance: Pikmin[Gamecube.2001]
List of Game Appearances:
  • Pikmin[Gamecube]
  • Pikmin 2 [Gamecube]
  • Super Smash Brothers Melee[Gamecube][As a Trophy]
  • Animal Crossing: Wild World[DS][Special Furniture]
  • Super Smash Brothers Brawl[Wii]


    Pikmin is one of Nintendo’s newest franchises that have been a big hit. First appearing on the Gamecube back in 2001. Pikmin managed to surprise many people and become a popular game.

    For those who don’t know what the Pikmin games are about. Here is a description from Neoseekers own profile on the first game:

    ” As an alien, you've crash-landed on a strange new world populated by multi-colored ant-like creatures called Pikmin. With the aid of the Pikmin you must find the pieces of your ship. In return you must help the Pikmin survive in their harsh world. Assign them a variety of tasks (fighting off enemy creatures, building, resource collecting) during the day and have them carry treasure back to their homes before sunset. Interact with the lush 3D environments.”

    Now some did wonder how Captain Olimar would work considering his size. Many knew that they could easily resize this character like they have done with other characters in the past. The other interesting thing about Captain Olimar is that he has Pikmin to come along with him. They will fight as his allies. Without the Pikmin, Olimar could not do a Smash Attack.

    The question that remains as of right now is what will his moves be and his Final Smash? Not to mention how much of a role do the Pikmin have with his move-set?

    Discuss the pair here.

    Small note: I don't believe Pikmin or Olimar were in any other games. If they were then let me know. I have a feeling they might of made and appearance in Animal Crossing but could be wrong.

    thats true come to think of it i really wish they had a vid clip on todays update for him.

    no doubt someone ive wanted in for a long time im not going to main olimar but he will be put as my backup charecter instead of diddy now. i really hope to get good with him and i hope he isnt to bad or to great. i see him as a middle tier average fellow.

    re: Featured Character: Captain Olimar & Pikmin

    I really don't get why people jumped to conclusions about his size in the first place. Everyone assumes he's small because of the size of the objects compared to him, but did it ever occur to anyone that the pikmin planet is a world of giants? Not saying that it is, but people are too ready to jump to conclusions without any proof.

    By the way, gotenks, Pikmin was a special furniture item in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

    I really want to See how he plays. I'm guessing his Final Smash will have the Pikmin assemble into something and pummel their opponents.

    re: Captain Olimar & Pikmin

    Would you really count Melee as an appearance, since it was only a trophy? It wasn't counted for Pit.

    Anyway, I loved the Pikmin games and thought Olimar would be a cool addition with scope for creativity in the design. Currently my second character to use right after Pokémon Trainer. I want to see how they put those Pikmin into action.

    re: Featured Character: Captain Olimar & Pikmin

    I was very happy to see this. i cant wait. i also found this on Wikipedia:
    quote
    Pikmin come in several colors, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. In the original Pikmin, there are three types of Pikmin; red Pikmin, who are better warriors than the rest and can withstand extreme heat, yellow Pikmin, who can be thrown higher than the rest of the Pikmin, as well as carrying the unique ability to throw bomb-rocks. However, in the second game, yellow Pikmin's special ability was changed; they can no longer throw bomb-rocks, as the bomb-rocks are much larger now, and can instead withstand electricity. Blue Pikmin have gills and can therefore walk in water without drowning.
    so i can picture Olimar throwing a yellow Pikmin while its holding a bomb. that would be pretty cool. the other abilities probably will hold some role in the game too.

    re: Featured Character: Captain Olimar & Pikmin

    Olimar is my first to use, unless someone even more incredibly awesome comes along. I've always been a huge fan of the series, ever since I first tried out the first Pikmin game, and I can't wait to play as Olimar.

    To all the people who said Olimar wouldn't be in, I told you so.

    No, Olimar crash lands on Earth. There are so many references to it anyways. Olimar freaking finds Carmex and Vlasic caps. It's not a world of giants, Olimar is just super tiny while everything is super big in comparison. You even see human footprints in the Awakening Wood.
