'''Olimar''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He comes with his Pikmin in tow and a stronger moveset for ''Project M''. Despite the power buffs, ''Melee'' physics and higher lag in most of his attacks have put him in an unfavorable position for ''Project M''. 

Olimar ranks 39th out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], at the bottom of the D tier. This is an extreme drop from his tier placement in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 3rd out of 38, and is the largest any ''Project M'' character's standing has fallen when compared to their ''Melee'' or ''Brawl'' tier list. In the official [[Project+]] tier list, he ranks much higher, placing 33rd out of 42 characters.

==Attributes==
In ''Brawl'', Olimar excelled at defensive gameplay, being able to camp effectively with his [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. These capabilities have put Olimar 3rd on the ''Brawl'' tier list. As ''Project M'' focuses more on offensive gameplay than defensive gameplay, Olimar's moveset has been consequently altered. 

Olimar's Pikmin in ''Project M'' are stronger and have more endurance than before. Also, the Pikmin now have a mechanic where their strength is dependent on the type of flower on their heads. Besides the buffs to the Pikmin, Olimar's ground game has been improved, possessing more powerful tilts, smash attacks, and throws. Olimar's aerial game also saw some positive adjustments, featuring two potential KO moves in his up and down aerials. Finally, Olimar's recovery, [[Pikmin Chain]], which was unreliable and low-reaching in ''Brawl'', has been replaced with the more useful Ionium Jet.

However, Olimar has many weaknesses in ''Project M''. While he is heavier than he was in ''Brawl'', Olimar is still fairly light, making him susceptible to KOs earlier than other characters.

==Changes from ''Brawl'' to PM==
While Olimar received some buffs, he has been heavily nerfed overall in the transition from ''Brawl'' to PM

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Olimar dashes faster (1.4 → 1.61).}}
*{{buff|Olimar's air speed is much faster (0.82 → 1.1).}}
*{{buff|Olimar's traction is higher (0.06 → 0.075).}}
*{{buff|He is significantly heavier (82 → 90), improving his endurance, but also making him susceptible to {{PM|Fox}}'s [[waveshine]] combos.}}
*{{change|Olimar falls faster (1.3 → 1.9).}}
*{{buff|Pikmin health is effectively tripled (Reds: 9 → 30, Yellows: 9 → 30, Blues: 14 → 40, Whites: 4 → 14, Purples: 15 → 50), increasing their overall durability.}}
*{{buff|Pikmin strengths are dependent on the flowers on their head; bud and flower Pikmin are more powerful. While Bud Pikmin power is equal to the ''Brawl'' Pikmin, Leaf Pikmin are weaker, and both do not possess any special effects for attacks, though Flower Pikmin are more powerful, which combined with their increased durability cause Pikmin to be overall more useful for attacks.}}
*{{buff|White Flower Pikmin leave [[flower]]s on victims' heads for all their attacks, increasing their potential and do more pummel damage at blossom.}}
*{{buff|Yellow Pikmin now have decreased startup and end lag on many of their attacks.}}
*{{buff|Olimar now re-spawns with 2 Pikmin after losing a stock no longer forcing him to pluck out Pikmin after losing a stock.}} 
*{{nerf|Olimar can only carry 4 Pikmin at a time, instead of 6 which limits his use of varied Pikmin and encourages Olimar players to focus more on their Pikmin's survivability within the new transformation mechanics.}}
*{{nerf|The introduction to the ''Melee'' physics inhibit Olimar and his metagame, along with indirectly buffing most of the cast, allowing their metagames to outshine that of Olimar, which was among the best in ''Brawl''. As with {{PM|Snake}}, Olimar does not benefit from these physics and the techniques that come with them other than [[L-canceling]].}}

===Ground Attacks===
*{{buff|Forward tilt does much more damage (6% → 10%) and is a much stronger KO move.}}
*{{buff|Up tilt is now a single jumping headbutt, which delivers a single hit that can be used repeatedly for juggling. It also has less end lag (FAF 40 → 27).}}
*{{nerf|New up tilt deals less damage (11% → 8%) and has more startup lag (frame 6 → 7).}}
*{{buff|Dash attack has less startup lag (frame 8 → 5) and end lag (FAF 35 → 31).}}
*{{change|Smash attacks have a different sound effect.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash has more air time for Pikmin allowing for the hitboxes to be out for longer. Forward Smash now lasts until the Pikmin hit the ground.}}
*{{nerf|Forward smash has a different animation with more startup lag except for yellow based forward smash (frame 11 → 15) and ending lag (FAF 40 → 48 (RBPW), 44 (Y).}} 
*{{buff|Yellow based up smash has less startup lag (frame 8 → 7).}}
*{{nerf|Up Smash has less horizontal range and more ending lag (FAF 33 → 43 (RBPW), 42 (Y).}}
*{{nerf|Olimar's [[DACUS]] covers less distance hindering up smash's approach potential.}}
*{{nerf|Down smash has a different animation with more end lag (FAF 39 → 45).}}

===Aerial Attacks===
*{{buff|Up and down aerials have less landing lag (30 frames → 20 (up), 25 (down)) which can be further reduced with L cancelling.}} 
*{{nerf|Olimar can now only [[auto cancel]] forward aerial out of a short hop as opposed to all of his aerials. Forward aerial now requires perfect timing to be auto cancelled.}} 
*{{buff|Yellow based forward aerial has less startup lag (frame 7 → 4) and all versions of forward aerial have less end lag (FAF 43 → 34 (RBPW), 31 (Y).}}
*{{buff|Yellow based back aerial has less startup lag (frame 10 → 6) and all versions of back aerial have less end lag (FAF 49 → 38 (RBPW), 34 (Y).}}
*{{buff|Up aerial only hits once, inflicting a strong consistent damage, so it can be effectively used for [[juggling]] with weak Pikmin and as a KO move with strong ones. Yellow based up aerial also has less startup lag (frame 8 → 5).}}
*{{nerf|New up aerial however deals much less damage (24% → 13/15/17% (R), 16% → 9/10/11% (Y), 22% → 11/12/13% (B), 9% → 5/6/7% (W), 22% → 13/14/15% (P)). It also has more end lag except for yellow based up aerial (FAF 35 → 38).}}
*{{buff|Down aerial is now a very strong meteor doing more damage (12% → 13/14/15% (Y), 14% → 15/17/19% (P), 8% → 9/10/11% (W). The late hit also deals more damage with the exception of white based down aerial (7% → 9% (R), 6% → 8% (YB), 6% → 11% (P). Lastly, it has much less end lag (FAF 52 → 37 (RBPW), 33 (Y).}}
*{{nerf|Down aerial has an increased startup (frame 9 → 16 (RBPW), 12 (Y)), comparable to that of {{SSBB|Ness}}'s down aerial in ''Brawl'', no longer being a quick, reliable [[edgeguarding]] option. It also has a much shorter duration (frames 9-29 → 16-20 (RBPW), 12-16 (Y) and can no longer [[trip]] grounded opponents.}}
*{{change|Similar to {{PM|Marth}}, Olimar turns around after using his back aerial.}}

===Grabs and Throws===
*{{buff|All grabs have decreased startup lag (frame 11 → 9).}}
*{{nerf|Grabs have increased end lag (FAF 30 (standing), 40 (dash) → 44/54).}}
*{{buff|Forward throw with Blue Pikmin does slightly more damage (13% → 12/14/16%).}}
*{{buff|Up throw with Blue Pikmin has significantly more base knockback. The changes to ''Project M'''s physics also improve its combo potential beyond low percents. Red, yellow and blue based up throws also deal more damage (6% → 7% (R), 7% → 9% (Y), 12% → 12/14/16% (B).}}
*{{nerf|Purple based up throw deals less damage (11% → 9%) and deals less knockback hindering its KO potential and no longer making it the strongest up throw in the game.}}
*{{buff|Pummel with flower White Pikmin does 7% in addition to poison damage.}}
*{{nerf|Grab range is reduced.}}

===Special Moves===
*{{buff|[[Pikmin Pluck]] gives Olimar a short boost upwards every time it is used in midair, so it can be used repeatedly (but not unlimitedly) to recover in a manner similar to [[Pound]].}}
*{{nerf|Pikmin Pluck has been slowed down (FAF 10 → 11).}}
*{{nerf|White based [[Pikmin Throw]] deals less damage (6% → 3/4/5%) and white Pikmin now sacrifice their-selves afterwards (although their new explosion produces a damaging hitbox). Olimar's reduced Pikmin count also hinders Pikmin throw's utility.}} 
*{{buff|Olimar has a new up special: Ionium Jet. This move propels Olimar upward diagonally on a jetpack, damaging enemies along the way, and unlike [[Pikmin Chain]] its effectiveness is not based on the number of Pikmin accompanying Olimar, making this new move a more reliable recovery. It also deals more damage (6/7/8% → 12%), and has less landing lag (32 frames → 30).}}
*{{nerf|Ionium Jet only ledge sweetspots at the end of the move, making it easy to intercept. It also has more startup lag (frame 12 → 21) and much less range compared to a full length Pikmin Chain making it significantly less useful for edgeguarding and is less reliable as an attack due to being a multi hit. He also can't cancel Ionium Jet's landing lag by landing at the right time unlike with Pikmin chain.}}
*{{buff|[[Pikmin Order]] has been significantly sped up (FAF 21 → 11), so it can be used for about five times per second, allowing to call Pikmin back with little to no ending lag.}}
*{{nerf|Pikmin Order no longer has [[armor]] completely removing its defensive capabilities.}}

<!--Crawl attack-->
|-
!Dash attack
| || 7% (clean), 4% (late) || colspan=5 | &mdash; || Olimar does a cartwheel forward. Deals primarily vertical knockback and a good combo starter.
|-

Damage and knockback of the move depends on which Pikmin is used, with the Red Pikmin dealing the most damage, the Purple Pikmin having the strongest knockback, and the White Pikmin being the weakest, both in damage and in knockback. A weak hit will occur if a Pikmin connects as it falls, making this move good for [[edgeguarding]], but the Pikmin will die if thrown off the edge.
|-
!Up smash
| || &mdash; || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|18}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|10}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|11}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|13}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|10}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|12}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|9}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|7}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|9}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|5}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|10}} (late) || A Pikmin rockets upwards into the air.

!Down smash
| || &mdash; || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|18}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|10}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|11}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|13}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|8}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|12}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|9}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|7}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|9}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|4}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|10}} (late) || Two Pikmin dashes out to simultaneously on either side. Deals no vertical knockback, making it useful against heavyweights and/or characters with short horizontal recovery. An enemy can actually hit both Pikmin if they are in between Olimar. If only one Pikmin is present when using this attack, it will attack in front of Olimar.
|-
!Neutral aerial
| || 2% (hits 1-5) || colspan=5 | &mdash; || Olimar spins in place, hitting multiple times. The last hit has moderate knockback and is a potential combo starter.

| || &mdash; || 15-19% || 12-14% || 14-16% || 8-10% || 15-17% || Olimar swings a Pikmin behind in a upward arc. This move turns Olimar around in the air.
|-
!Up aerial
| || &mdash; || 13-17% (clean), 7% (late)|| 9-11% (clean), 5% (late) || 11-13% (clean), 6% (late) || 5-7% (clean), 3% (late) || 13-15% (clean), 8% (late) || Olimar lifts a Pikmin upwards over his head. An ideal KO move when used with a red or purple Pikmin. Long duration helps in pursuing [[air dodge]]s.
|-
!Down aerial
| || &mdash; || 15-19% (clean), 9% (late) || 13-15% (clean), 8% (late) || 14-16% (clean), 8% (late) || 9-11% (clean), 4% (late) || 15-17% (clean), 11% (late) || Olimar strikes downward with a Pikmin.

| || colspan=6 | &mdash; || Olimar sends a Pikmin forth to grab an opponent.
|-
!Pummel
| || &mdash; || 2% || 2% || 2% || 2-6% || 2% || Pikmin attacks with headbutt.
|-
!Forward throw
| || &mdash; || 6% || 7% || 12-16% || 6% || 7% || The Pikmin releases the foe forwards. Strongest in terms of knockback with the blue Pikmin.

|-
!Down throw
| || &mdash; || 1% (hit 1), 6% (throw) || 1% (hit 1), 8% (throw) || 1-5% (hit 1), 9% (throw) || 1% (hit 1), 5% (throw) || 1% (hit 1), 7% (throw) || The Pikmin slams the foe into the ground. This throw can be used to tech-chase fastfallers and heavyweights, and can combo into an aerial at higher percentages.
|-
!Floor attack (front)
| || 6% || colspan=5 | &mdash; || Gets up and headbutts both sides.
|-
!Floor attack (back)
| || 6% || colspan=5 | &mdash; || Gets up and punches both sides.

!Edge attack (slow)

|-
!Neutral special
| [[Pikmin Pluck]] || colspan=6 | &mdash; || Olimar quickly pulls out a random Pikmin out of the ground. What type of terrain where this move is used has some influence on what type of Pikmin will be pulled out more often. Olimar can have up to four Pikmin following him, and trying to pluck another, will result in Olimar grabbing nothing and being vulnerable for a moment. Using the move in the air will make Olimar rise up a little, but it only once.
|-
!Side special
| [[Pikmin Throw]] ||&mdash;|| 2-4% (latched hits) || 2-4% (latched hits) || 2-4% (latched hits) || 3-5% (latched hits), 6-8% (explosion) || 10% || Olimar throws a Pikmin at an enemy, who will latch onto the enemy and will slowly rack up damage. Different Pikmin have different effects when thrown. If the target cannot be latched onto, or the Pikmin is Purple, it simply deals damage. The Pikmin can be reflected back at Olimar, in which case, they will stick to him instead. The player can simply use Pikmin Order to get them off and avoid taking damage. 
|-
!Up special
| Ionium Jet || 10% (startup), 1% (hits 1-7), 5% (hit 8) || colspan=5| &mdash; || Olimar jets upwards diagonally, dealing damage while flying. If Olimar takes a hit while using this move, Olimar will lose his jump (even if he did not use his second jump before using Ionium Jet).
|-
!Down special
| [[Pikmin Order]] || colspan=6 | &mdash; || Olimar quickly blows his whistle, and a colored area surrounds him. Any Pikmin that are separated from Olimar will, after a split second, immediately fly to his side. This can be used to recall ones that have fallen behind or are pummeling an enemy, though Pikmin in the midst of some actions (such as travelling after being thrown) cannot be recalled. If there are no Pikmin separated from Olimar, the ones in Olimar's line will be organized by colour. If they are already in sorted order, the next colour of Pikmin will be sorted to the front, following the order of Red, Yellow, Blue, White, and Purple, with the previous front-runners being shifted to the back. As various Pikmin have different strengths, Olimar must do this to control his lineup to get the most out of it. 
|-
!Final Smash
| [[End of Day]] || colspan=6 | 10% (bury), 15% (ascent), 1-43% (Bulborbs), 10% (descent), 15%/20% (explosion) || Olimar takes off in the S.S. Dolphin, leaving his opponents alone for Red Bulborbs to attack them. Afterwards, the ship crash lands back onto the stage, hurting anyone in its path.

===Project+===
''[[Project +]]'' gives Olimar two costumes based on the bad ending of the first ''Pikmin'' game (one of which references {{s|pikipedia|Mushroom Pikmin}}, which are Pikmin that have been infected by the spores of a {{s|pikipedia|Puffstool}}), as well as an alternate costume based on real-world astronauts.

2.5 adds another costume known as Deep Space Olimar, which gives Olimar an appearance similar to actual spacesuits, although the backpack is now the Planter Pack from Pikmon Bloom. Every costume now has an updated jetpack inspired by ''Hey! Pikmin'' and giving his yellow costume a warmer skin tone.
