'''Olimar''', known on the website as '''Pikmin & Olimar''', was announced to be returning for ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' on July 12th 2013 on the game's official website, and was the first character revealed after the initial [[E3 2013]] reveal of ''Smash 4''. His reveal came one day before the release date of ''Pikmin 3'' in Japan, which [[Masahiro Sakurai]] noted in a Miiverse post. A link to the official website on ''Pikmin 3'' is at the bottom of his page on the website. He retains Red, Yellow, Blue, White, and Purple [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. Olimar has had slight aesthetic changes to match his ''Pikmin 3'' character design, and a visible [[whistle]] is now a part of Olimar's helmet. The Pikmin have been updated as well with different proportions more akin to ''Pikmin 3''.

==Confirmed information==

*{{buff|Olimar has a new up special recovery move, using [[Winged Pikmin]] instead of [[Pikmin Chain]]. These Pikmin can carry Olimar a great distance if he has no other Pikmin with him, but if Olimar has more Pikmin on him when initiating the move, the Winged Pikmin will carry him slower and much less distance; an inverse of his previous recovery Pikmin Chain, which required him to have more Pikmin to be more useful. This also means Olimar will now often have to sacrifice Pikmin during recovery.}}
*{{buff|Thrown Pikmin can carry [[item]]s to Olimar. <ref>http://www.gfycat.com/RemorsefulBarrenCreature</ref>}}
*{{buff|Pikmin are now plucked in a set cycle (Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, etc.), instead of being random.}}
*{{nerf|Olimar will now only be able to carry three Pikmin at a time after using [[Pikmin Pluck]] (unlike in ''Brawl'', where he could carry up to six)}}.
*{{change|Pikmin appear to be slightly larger; Olimar's size appears mostly unchanged.}}
*{{change|The Pikmin at the head of the line has a player-coloured pointer above their head, as do Pikmin at a distance from Olimar.}}
*{{change|One of Olimar's standard moves is now a punch.}}


The following moves are visually unchanged from ''Brawl'':
*[[Forward tilt]]
*[[Forward smash]]
*[[Down smash]]
*[[Back aerial]]
*[[Pikmin Throw]]
*[[Pikmin Order]]
*[[End of Day]]
*Down taunt


===Special Moves===
In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', [[special move]]s can be swapped out for different variants, but none of Olimar's have been seen. He retains three of his original special moves and his final smash. [[Pikmin Chain]] has been replaced with a more effective recovery utilizing [[Winged Pikmin]]. These are Olimar's special moves:
