| '''Nolimar''' (also known as '''Solimar''' or '''Solomar''') refers to the practice of using Olimar (or Alph) without any [[Pikmin]], either due to losing Pikmin from them being [[KO]]'d and being forced into the situation, or by choosing to play the entire match with no Pikmin. | | '''Nolimar''' (also known as '''Solimar''' or '''Lolimar''') refers to the practice of using {{SSBB|Olimar}} without any Pikmin, either due to losing Pikmin from being KO'd or by choosing to play the entire match with no Pikmin. |

| Without Pikmin, {{SSBB|Olimar}} only has six attacks: his [[neutral attack|jab's]] two hits, his three [[tilt]]s, his [[dash attack]], and his [[neutral aerial]]. Nolimar is capable of racking up damage with most of these moves, with his forward tilt and dash attack being his [[KO]] moves. Combined with the hop from a blank [[Pikmin Chain]] in Brawl, and the [[Armor|Super Armour]] of [[Pikmin Order]], it is possible (albeit incredibly difficult) to win a match as Nolimar despite his pitiful KO power and major problems with [[Stale-move negation|stale moves]].
| | Playing without Pikmin results in Olimar having no smash attacks, only one aerial attack, no grabs or throws, and no fully functional special attacks aside from [[End of Day|his Final Smash]]. That said, Olimar's tilts are capable of KO'ing opponents, and [[Pikmin Order]]'s [[launch resistance]] is intact to aid in surviving, so it is possible (albeit highly unlikely) to defeat opponents as Nolimar. |

| Note that at the start of a match, Olimar will automatically [[Pikmin Pluck|pluck]] three Pikmin during his entrance, so to intentionally play as Nolimar, the player will have to use [[Pikmin Throw]] or his [[forward smash]] to throw the Pikmin off of the stage, have the Pikmin attacked, have Olimar KO'd, or simply choose to never use Pikmin-based attacks - though the Pikmin can still interfere with opponents by being hit in this case.
| | Intentionally playing as Nolimar can be compared to [[SoPo|playing only one Ice Climber]]. |
| | |
| In ''[[SSB4]]'', Olimar's abilities without any Pikmin were slightly buffed, most notably by the removal of [[Pikmin Chain]] in favour of [[Winged Pikmin]] (which, despite not being treated as Pikmin by the game, could be argued to violate the spirit of Nolimar due to technically ''being'' Pikmin), and the improved reach on his [[jab]], and higher [[knockback]] on his forward tilt, though it's worth noting that [[Pikmin Order]] has fewer armour frames than in ''Brawl''.

| Nolimar is a popular character to use in gag matches/[[taunt match]]es.
