Olimar returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. Aesthetically, his design is now based on his appearance in ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 3}}'': he has a {{s|pikipedia|whistle}} on the bottom of his helmet, the two top buttons on his spacesuit are blue instead of red, and both of his sleeves feature a {{s|pikipedia|Hocotate Freight}} patch. Like the [[Koopalings]], [[Alph]] from ''Pikmin 3'' also appears as an [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Olimar|alternate character]]; unlike them, he has his own alternate costumes, which reference fellow ''Pikmin 3'' protagonists {{s|pikipedia|Brittany}} and {{s|pikipedia|Charlie}}, as well as Olimar himself. Olimar was the first veteran to be confirmed after those revealed at [[E3 2013]]. | Olimar returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.

Olimar is currently ranked 21st on the [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the C tier. He was notably nerfed, as the number of Pikmin he can have by his side was halved from six to three, which weakens his overall damage output and camping potential. However, he received various buffs in other areas, with the most beneficial one being [[Winged Pikmin]] replacing [[Pikmin Chain]] as his recovery move. In comparison to Pikmin Chain, Winged Pikmin is capable of much greater recovery distance, as it is not a tether. Other buffs include a more powerful forward tilt, and | Olimar is currently ranked 21st on the [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the C tier.

In comparison to Pikmin Chain, Winged Pikmin is capable of much greater recovery distance, as it is not a tether. Other buffs include a more powerful forward tilt, typically stronger smash attacks, and faster forward and back aerials. Despite his nerfs, Olimar is still seen as a relatively viable choice for competitive play, and he has gained some decent representation. | ||
