'''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.

===Special Moves===

*{{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.}}

 

 

**{{change|Purple Pikmin have less extreme changes in knockback depending on whether they have a leaf, bud, or flower.}}

**{{buff|Yellow Pikmin animations are faster in all aerials.}}

**{{nerf|White Pikmin deals less damage when latched onto opponent.}}

**{{nerf|All Pikmin no longer deal shield damage.}}

**{{buff|All pikmin can swim regardless of color.}}

***{{nerf|Their elemental immunities has been removed.}}

**{{buff|Olimar's antenna lights up reflecting the next Pikmin in line.}}

**{{nerf|All of the Pikmin's health has been reduced.}}

**{{nerf|Forward tilt has less knockback.}}

**{{nerf|Up smash has more endlag.}}

**{{nerf|Neutral aerial has slightly less range.}}

 

**{{nerf|Blue, white, and purple Pikmin deal less damage.}}

**{{nerf|Purple Pikmin deal less knockback.}}

**{{change|Purple Pikmin now launches opponents at a more horizontal angle.}}

 

**{{nerf|All Pikmin deal less damage and knockback}}

**{{change|Yellow Pikmin now launch opponents at the same angle regardless of timing.}}

**{{change|Blue, white, and purple Pikmin's launching angle has been slightly altered.}}

 

***{{change|Angle of all Pikmin's attacks are slightly less horizontal.}}

 

 

**{{change|Knockback angle for both red and white Pikmin has been slightly altered.}}

 

 

 

**{{nerf|Purple Pikmin travel less distance and have reduced grabbing time.}}

**{{nerf|White Pikmin pummel deals less damage and no longer causes a flower effect.}}

 

**{{buff|Red and blue Pikmin deal slightly more knockback.}}

 

 

**{{buff|Red, yellow, and blue Pikmin deal slightly more knockback.}}

 

 

*{{buff|Olimar has a new up special called Ionium Jet; said move acts as a jet pack, and grants Olimar height and horizontal distance. It also does not require Pikmin to recover.}}

! rowspan=2| !! rowspan=2| Name!! colspan=6| Damage!! rowspan=2 width=55%| Description

! rowspan=2 | Neutral attack

|5%

| || 10% || colspan=5 | — || Olimar kicks both legs forward, falling to the ground. Has decent knockback at higher percentages.

| || 8% || colspan=5 | — || Olimar hops and performs an upwards headbutt. Olimar's head is [[intangible]] when performing this attack.

| || 6% (body), 2% (antenna) || colspan=5 | —|| Olimar slides head-first at the enemy, moving a small distance forward. Deals minimal knockback and combos well into other moves early on. The hitbox goes as far as the antenna on Olimar's head.

| || 7% (clean), 4% (late) || colspan=5 | — || Olimar does a cartwheel forward. Deals primarily vertical knockback and a good combo starter.

| || — || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|20}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|12}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|9}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|13}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|15}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|9}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|6}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|14}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|11}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|6}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|9}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|11}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|6}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|3}} (late) || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}}-{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|18}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|16}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|13}} (late) || A Pikmin leaps forwards with a spinning bodyslam. 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.

| || — || {{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. Olimar's fastest smash attack and is great move for [[juggling]]. Possesses huge knockback when it's a purple Pikmin with a flower, being able to KO at 85% on heavyweights even without charging.

| || — || {{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.

| || 2% (hits 1-5) || colspan=5 | — || Olimar spins in place, hitting multiple times. The last hit has moderate knockback and is a potential combo starter.

| || — || 13-17% || 10-12% || 12-14% || 6-8% || 13-15% || Olimar swings a Pikmin forward in a downward arc. Has decent vertical knockback. This move can be wavelanded from a short hop, but it is difficult to do consistently.

| || — || 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.

| || — || 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.

| || — || 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. The move itself is a [[spike]], being strongest with the red Pikmin and weakest with the white Pikmin.

| || colspan=6 | — || Olimar sends a Pikmin forth to grab an opponent.

| || — || 2% || 2% || 2% || 2-6% || 2% || Pikmin attacks with headbutt.

| || — || 6% || 7% || 12-16% || 6% || 7% || The Pikmin releases the foe forwards. Strongest in terms of knockback with the blue Pikmin.

| || — || 7% || 9% || 12-16% || 7% || 9% || The Pikmin swings the foe backwards by slamming them onto the ground. Strongest in terms of knockback with the blue Pikmin, with purple Pikmin only being slightly weaker.

| || — || 7% || 9% || 12-16% || 6% || 10% || The Pikmin leaps into the air, turns the opponent upside-down, then slams them into the ground. With the blue pikmin, this move can [[Star KO]] even heavyweights at 130%, with the Purple Pikmin being slightly weaker than the blue Pikmin.

| || — || 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.

| || 6% || colspan=5 | — || Gets up and headbutts both sides.

| || 6% || colspan=5 | — || Gets up and punches both sides.

| || 5% || colspan=5 | — || Gets up and headbutts forward, and kicks backwards.

| || 8% || colspan=5 | — || Quickly climbs up and headbutts onto the stage.

| || 10% || colspan=5 | — || Gets up slowly and quickly sticks one foot out.

| [[Pikmin Pluck]] || colspan=6 | — || 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.

| [[Pikmin Throw]] ||—|| 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.

| Ionium Jet || 10% (startup), 1% (hits 1-7), 5% (hit 8) || colspan=5| — || 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).

| [[Pikmin Order]] || colspan=6 | — || 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.

| [[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.

*{{Sm|Guttey|USA}} - Ranked #49 on [[PMRank 2023]].

*{{Sm|Bees|USA}} - Ranked 6th in Massachusetts.

*{{Sm|~CP9~|USA}} - Formerly ranked #42 on [[PMRank 2022]].

*{{Sm|Dotcom|USA}} - Strong tristate player.

===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.
