'''Olimar''' ({{ja|ピクミン＆オリマー|Pikumin & Orimā}}, ''Pikmin & Olimar'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was officially revealed on June 12th, 2018 alongside {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}} and the rest of the returning roster. In addition, '''[[Alph]]''' ({{ja|ピクミン＆アルフ|Pikumin & Arufu}}, ''Pikmin & Alph'') returns as an alternate character alongside Olimar. Olimar is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #40]]. Olimar uses [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] to assist him in attacking his foes, with a core playstyle revolving around managing and using his various Pikmin combinations to his advantage.

As in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', Hajime Wakai's portrayals of the Pikmin from ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', and Atsuko Asahi's portrayals of the Winged Pikmin from ''Pikmin 3'', were repurposed for ''Ultimate''.

==How to unlock==
Complete one of the following:
*Play [[VS. match]]es, with Olimar being the 48th character to be unlocked.
*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Mario}} or any character in his unlock tree, being the last character unlocked after {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}.
*Have Olimar join the player's party in [[World of Light]].
Olimar must then be defeated on [[Distant Planet]] (the [[Ω form]] is used in World of Light).

==Attributes==
{{incomplete|This section needs an in depth explanation of Olimar's strengths and weaknesses.}}
Olimar is a small, floaty, lightweight character with disjointed attacks. He has the 33rd slowest dash, 8th worst air speed, 32nd best air acceleration (tied with {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} and {{SSBU|Inkling}}, among others), very low gravity, low traction (tied with Diddy Kong), and a below-average falling speed, and above-average jump height, giving him overall mediocre movement.

What sets Olimar apart from a majority of the other fighters is that his stronger attacks do not come from him. Instead, the player utilizes Pikmin as both disjointed attacks and projectiles to attack opponents from a distance during his smash attacks, most of his aerials, and side special. Olimar starts off with 3 Pikmin at the start of each match and can have up to 3 at any given point. Each Pikmin has their own stamina and can die if they take too much damage or fall into the blast zone. Pikmin are obtained in a specific order: Red, Yellow, Blue, White, and Purple then cycling back to Red. [[Winged Pikmin]] also appear in Olimar's up special, but they are only an aesthetic detail and do not affect gameplay.

Olimar can [[Pikmin Pluck|Pluck]] on any solid surface to get more Pikmin if they die. It's very laggy when used in air, but is somewhat quick on the ground and is best used if spaced out. [[Pikmin Order]] can be used to quickly call all Pikmin back. On the first few frames, Pikmin Order has super armor, but it is a pretty risky move to use solely for said super armor. Winged Pikmin is a very flexible up special that is good for recovery offstage. It can be moved freely around the air and can be cancelled with an aerial attack, but put's Olimar into a helpless state once cancelled. Additionally, consecutive use of the move decreases both distance and maneuverability. This can be fixed by not using the move for an extended period of time. Finally, the distance, speed, and movement ability are decreased the more Pikmin carried, with Purple ones being the heaviest and White ones being the lightest.

His primary damage-racking move and an excellent utility move is his side special, Pikmin Throw. Olimar throws his Pikmin forward. The thrown Pikmin, except for Purple, cling the target and deal elemental damage over time. Purple Pikmin don't cling to opponents and instead deal a single strong hit as they are in the air. If they don't land on a target, they become miniature, independent hurtboxes that run back toward Olimar. When clinging to the opponent, they can be killed or damaged by certain moves, such as a down smash that covers the user in a hitbox. However, this can be used to an advantage, as the Pikmin can be used to block certain moves such as {{SSBU|Samus}}'s Charge Shot, even when clinging to Samus. 

Each Pikmin has different properties that both affect how they interact with moves and the Olimar's attacks. Red Pikmin have average projectile range, deal the second-highest damage, have the fire effect and are immune to fire attacks. Yellow Pikmin have an arcing path with slightly lower range, have the electric effect, have a larger hitbox (roughly a 50% increase compared to the other Pikmin) and are immune to electric attacks. Blue Pikmin Have average projectile range, increase throw power and damage, have the water effect and are immune to water attacks. White Pikmin have the longest projectile range, deal the least direct damage in exchange for the most cling damage, have the darkness effect. Purple Pikmin have the shortest projectile range, but deal the most damage and knockback and do not cling to opponents but act as a standard projectile with knockback instead.

Neutral attack is a quick punch that can be followed up into a second. It has very little usage in close quarters save for jab locks and very niche combo starters. Forward tilt is a punch with a windup beforehand. It is his worst tilt in regards to speed, but his best for making room, as it launches opponents the furthest. Up tilt is a simple spinning hop, generally only useful as a close range anti-air move. Down tilt is a weird little slide that moves Olimar forward. It can start combos at later percents, and since it is the second fastest attack in terms of startup, it is his best spacing option in most scenarios.

His aerials have great utility despite his mediocre air speed. His forward and back aerials are great for edgeguarding thanks to their wide ark, whereas his up aerial is effective for juggling and combos and down aerial can meteor smash in the earlier frames while still possessing a weaker lingering hit box in later frames, thus making it a solid tool for denying juggles. His neutral air is his only aerial that does not utilize Pikmin and by extension, has much less range, but still has some utility as a niche combo tool and landing option.

Having relatively great range for a character of his size also makes him great at camping out and approaching physically focused fighters such as {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}} or {{SSBU|Wario}}, and further authenticate his strong punishment game. All of his qualities mentioned above give him a strong damage racking capability to complement his zoning focused playstyle.

However, Olimar does have some noticeable weaknesses to counterbalance his strengths. One of his most noteworthy issues is his defenselessness without his Pikmin. Although they can be plucked rather quickly, he can only do so when on the ground and there is still enough time to punish Olimar if he doesn't secure his space before gaining more Pikmin. His physical attacks themselves also provide niche/situational utility compared to his Pikmin moves and have significantly less range. Therefore, he is at his greatest disadvantage if the opponent manages to keep him airborne and within his space due to the very short range and limited scope of his physical attacks. On the flipside, his recovery becomes noticeably worsened when he does have Pikmin, meaning he may have to resort to throwing them if it means being able to make it back safely. Although his run speed is decent, his air speed is below average, meaning he is prone to being overwhelmed by rushdown oriented fighters in disadvantage along with his aforementioned difficulty handling disadvantage without Pikmin.

Overall, Olimar is a versatile zoner who has an unorthodox manner of fighting involving the management of his Pikmin. He can't afford to be impatient due to his poor disadvantage and his need to keep his Pikmin in check.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Olimar was noticeably buffed overall from his iteration in ''SSB4''. His lackluster mobility, while still below-average, has been improved, as he now has better [[dash|run speed]] and better [[air speed]]. His already incredible ground game was also improved with his grab having more range, as well as his [[up smash]] having less ending lag, resulting in it becoming a terrifying combo option and kill move. Olimar's [[up throw]] was also significantly buffed, boasting similar knockback to {{SSBU|Mewtwo}}'s up throw. His notorious damage output was also buffed, as all iterations of his Pikmin (excluding Purple Pikmin) have been buffed. His biggest flaw from ''Smash 4'' was also fixed, as his aerials now have transcendent priority, which allows Olimar to trade moves much more safely than in ''SSB4''. [[Pikmin Pluck]] is faster as well, which allows Olimar to regain Pikmin faster.

However, Olimar received some slight nerfs. His [[down throw]] launches opponents at a more horizontal angle, making follow-ups less reliable. Pikmin also have slightly lower HP, making them die more easily. He also now has one of the slowest [[initial dash]]es in the game due to other fighters' initial dashes getting far more substantial buffs than his. His recovery also became less abusable as a result of the travel distance of his up special, [[Winged Pikmin]], being further reduced with consecutive use.

Regardless, Olimar's negligible nerfs are not enough to outweigh his buffs, as he has obtained incredible results in ''Ultimate'''s early metagame thanks to {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, {{Sm|Myran}}, and {{Sm|ImHip}}, who have been very successful with him at top-level tournaments. As a result, Olimar was often considered a top-tier character prior to patch {{SSBU|3.1.0}}, being considered relatively similar to his ''Brawl'' counterpart. However, he along with {{SSBU|Pichu}} received significant nerfs in 3.1.0, more so than any other potential top tier character. Because of this, Olimar is now usually considered a high tier character after patch 3.1.0 but is still considered better than his Smash 4 iteration. 

{{SSB4 to SSBU changelist|char=Olimar}}

==Update history==
In addition to a number of glitch fixes, Olimar has received a mix of buffs and nerfs via game updates, but has been nerfed overall. Update {{SSBU|2.0.0}} fixed an infamous glitch which allowed Pikmin to double the strength of the spirit multiplier, causing attacks with his Pikmin to deal massive amounts of damage under the right circumstances. However, he received a bug in this same patch that caused all of his smash attacks to no longer increase in damage while being charged. While this glitch was fixed in update {{SSBU|3.0.0}}, this update also introduced another glitch that causes reflected Pikmin to inflict damage onto himself after they've returned to him, leading to the possibility of unintentional self-destructs caused by Olimar using moves that boast a great amount of KO power. The changes made to the shield mechanics in this same update also harmed him by making his smash attacks less safe on perfect shield. In addition, like with many other projectiles, his forward smash and Pikmin throw now deal less shield damage, although the amount of shield stun went unchanged.

Update {{SSBU|3.1.0}} was, by far, the update that nerfed Olimar the most. The size of Olimar's hurtbox has been enlarged, making him easier to hit even while shielding. His forward and up smashes had their ending lag increased, with the former smash attack also having its clean hitbox harder to land due to its duration being shortened. This same patch also noticeably reduced the [[Winged Pikmin]]'s overall travel distance when they are used consecutively, hampering his recovery. However, update {{SSBU|4.0.0}} undid update 3.1.0.'s nerf to his clean forward smash's duration. Like many other characters, Olimar's shield was enlarged in update {{SSBU|7.0.0}}, which compensated his larger hurtbox by both fully covering him and making him less vulnerable to [[shield stab]]bing. Update {{SSBU|8.0.0}} buffed [[End of Day]]'s KO potential and range. Prior to update 10.0.0, if Olimar tried to use an aerial attack out of Winged Pikmin after using forward smash or Pikmin Throw, the move would act as if there were no Pikmin. This bug had plagued Olimar since ''Smash 4'' and was finally fixed in 10.0.0, indirectly buffing Olimar.

Due to Olimar's strongest traits being toned down, he is considered to be significantly worse than he was at launch. Though {{Sm|Dabuz}} initially claimed he would drop the character, he eventually went back on this and continues to use him in bracket with excellent results. {{Sm|Shuton}} has also continued to dominate the Japanese scene with Olimar, but {{Sm|Myran}} has seen a notable drop off in results after the patch. Overall, Dabuz and Shuton's continued success with the character indicates that Olimar remains a viable character in the right hands, even in spite of his nerfs.

|dtiltdmg=6%{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;
|dtiltdesc=A lunging tackle. It hits on frame 6, and has very low base knockback, very high knockback growth, and minimal ending lag. Altogether, these traits make it a reliable combo starter at low to medium percents. It can combo into itself (especially on fast-fallers), up tilt, smash attacks, and aerial attacks, depending on the opponent's DI. It can also interfere with an opponent's edge grab attempt, thanks to its hitbox being capable of going below the edge. Like neutral attack, performing it repeatedly will move Olimar slightly forward.

|usmashdesc=Points upward to command a Pikmin to jump and perform a cartwheeling tackle. The leaping Pikmin can be reflected. This move has uses in starting combos at low to mid percents; depending on the opponent's character, any aerial can be used out of an up smash. Notably, an up air chain out from an up smash, leading to an extremely damaging combo. Its short endlag and high shieldstun make the move tricky to punish on whiff and on block. Up smash is also a good out of shield option due to its deceptively good horizontal range and great vertical range and duration, making it useful for punishing landings and occasionally juggling opponents. Up smash is also a strong killing move, KOing at or below 150% with all Pikmin except White. However, it can easily be beaten due to its projectile attributes, making them lose out to any other active hitbox.
|dsmashname=Pikmin Left/Right Dash
|dsmashdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15.4|1.2}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|12.6|1.2}} (late){{!!}}{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|11|1.2}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|9|1.2}} (late){{!!}}{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|11|1.2}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|9|1.2}} (late){{!!}}{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|8.8|1.2}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|7.2|1.2}} (late){{!!}}{{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17.6|1.2}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|14.4|1.2}} (late)
|dsmashdesc=Squats slightly and points to both of his sides to command two Pikmin (the lead Pikmin, and the Pikmin next in line) perform dashing tackles. Either Pikmin on each side can be reflected. If only one Pikmin is in play, Olimar will only send a Pikmin forward.
|nairname=Tornado Attack
|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|1.5}} (hits 1-4), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (hit 5){{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;
|nairdesc=A jumping twirl, resembling his up tilt. It is Olimar's only aerial that does not use Pikmin or have transcendent [[priority]]. However, it lacks KO potential like his other aerials.
|fairname=&nbsp;
|fairdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|11.9}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8.5}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8.5}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|6.8}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|13.6}}
|fairdesc=Grabs a Pikmin by its stem and swings it downward in front of himself. Due to its range, and speed, it is one of Olimar's best moves for walling and aerial combat as the Pikmin used acts as a sword for the duration of this move, giving this move great range relative to Olimar's size. Due to its low landing lag, it is also very good for combos at lower percents, as well as being safe on shield if spaced well. In addition, it can also kill if used with Red or Purple Pikmin. Lastly, it is a very reliable follow-up from down throw, and is useful for edgeguarding.
|bairname=&nbsp;
|bairdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|15.12}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|10.8}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|10.8}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8.64}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|17.28}}
|bairdesc=Grabs a Pikmin by its stem and swings it upward behind himself. It is Olimar's most damaging aerial. Due to its low landing lag, it is also very good for combos at lower percents, as well as being safe on shield if spaced well. This move has great range for a character of Olimar's size, due to the Pikmin used acting similarly to a disjointed hitbox for the duration of this move. It can also kill at reasonable percents if any non-White Pikmin are used. However, it has the highest start-up lag out of Olimar's aerials, though the startup is still reasonable compared to most other back aerials of its kind.
|uairname=&nbsp;
|uairdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12.6}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7.2}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|14.4}}
|uairdesc=Grabs a Pikmin by its stem and twirls it upward. The move comes out decently fast and lasts for a very long time, as well as the move having transcendent priority, making it very hard to out-space this move making it very good for juggling and combos, at lower percents it can chain into itself or other aerials bar down air.  It is tied with down aerial as his second most damaging aerial, and is a viable KOing option with any non-White Pikmin. However, it has a noticeable amount of landing lag.
|dairname=&nbsp;
|dairdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12.6}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7.2}}{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|14.4}}
|dairdesc=Grabs a Pikmin by its stem and swings it downward. It is tied with up aerial as his second most damaging aerial. This move gives Olimar a very good way to escape juggling due to the long lasting hitbox and the amount of downwards range that it gives Olimar, the Pikmin act as a pseudo disjoint in this move as well as all of Olimar's other Pikmin involved aerials, making it very hard to challenge the move during its active hitbox frames. The move can also kill at higher percents if used with Red or Purple Pikmin. It is also a [[meteor smash]], but only against aerial opponents and during its first frame. In addition, the move's very long lasting hitbox can also two frame punish at ledges. However, it has a noticeable amount of landing lag.
|grabname=&nbsp;
|grabdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;
|grabdesc=Points forward to command the lead Pikmin to grab the opponent, with the other Pikmin following. The Pikmin function as [[Grab#Tether grabs|disjointed grabs]], and overall grab range varies depending on both the number of Pikmin present, and the lead Pikmin. White Pikmin have the longest range, followed by Red, Yellow and Blue (which are all tied for 2nd), and Purple (with the shortest range). With 3 Pikmin present, and the lead being a White Pikmin, this grab has the longest range in the game. Decently fast for its range. It resembles the group move from the ''Pikmin'' series.
|pummelname=&nbsp;
|pummeldmg=1%{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;
|pummeldesc=A [[wikipedia:Knifehand strike|knifehand thrust]]. Faster, but weaker than his previous pummel.

|fthrowdesc=The Pikmin leap forward, body slamming the opponent on the ground. If used with 3 Pikmin and the lead is Blue, it becomes a strong throw that can KO middleweights at around 125% at the edge of Final Destination. However, it usually gets overshadowed by up throw due to it being able to KO more consistently.
|bthrowname=&nbsp;

|bthrowdesc=Same as the forward throw, but the Pikmin leap backwards instead. It is Olimar's most damaging throw, and if used with 2 or 3 Pikmin and the lead is Blue, it is the most damaging throw in the game and can KO middleweights at around 130% at the edge of Final Destination.

|uthrowdesc=The Pikmin toss the opponent upward, then leap up and headbutt them further upward. Notably, the Red Pikmin's version does less damage than it should (5.6%) based on the multiplier used (0.8x) for its other throws. If used with 3 Pikmin and the lead is Blue, it becomes the strongest up throw in the game and can KO middleweights at around 124% on Final Destination.

|nsdesc={{s|pikipedia|Pluck}}s a Pikmin. It cannot be used in midair, and has noticeable ending lag if it is attempted in midair, or if no more Pikmin can be plucked.
|ssname=Pikmin Throw
|ssdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}9.1% (thrown), 2% (latched){{!!}}6.5% (thrown), 2% (latched){{!!}}6.5% (thrown), 2% (latched){{!!}}5.2% (thrown), 4.7% (latched){{!!}}6% (thrown), 10.4% (unpocketed)
|ssdesc={{s|pikipedia|Throw}}s a Pikmin, which latches onto opponents and damages them before falling off either because of [[flinch]]ing, the opponent's damage, or being killed. In regard to the opponent's damage, a Pikmin's latch duration decreases when the opponent's damage increases, even when undisturbed. Purple Pikmin are unable to latch onto anything, and will instead deal damage and knockback on contact. When thrown out of [[Pocket]], Pikmin do not latch, but instead deal their thrown damage and die upon landing. In addition, unpocketed Purple Pikmin specifically deal more damage in addition to the move's multiplier.
|usname=Winged Pikmin
|usdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;
|usdesc=Two {{s|pikipedia|Winged Pikmin}} carry the user around. Winged Pikmin's effectiveness is dependent on both the amount of Pikmin that are alive and close, and the frequency of its usage. In regard to frequency, it takes approximately 3 seconds (180 frames) for Winged Pikmin to be able to travel the same distance again after the conclusion of the initial usage. Aerial attacks can also be used while being carried, similarly to [[Robo Burner]]. However, doing so will render him [[helpless]] immediately after the conclusion of the attack.
|dsname=Pikmin Order
|dsdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;{{!!}}&mdash;
|dsdesc=Blows his {{s|pikipedia|whistle}} to recall Pikmin and/or sort out their order in the line. It grants [[Armor|super armor]], which lasts from startup to before Olimar's antenna emits the blue lights. It has a very low amount of endlag, and can even be cancelled (just before the lights turn from yellow to red).
|fsname=End of Day
|fsdmg=colspan{{=}}"6"{{!}}10% (launch), 10% (ascent), 15.1% (Red Bulborbs), 10% (descent), 12%/10% (explosion)
|fsdesc=Jumps into the {{s|pikipedia|Hocotate Ship}} and launches into outer space, which [[bury|buries]] any nearby opponents. While the ship has left the stage, {{s|pikipedia|Red Bulborb}}s attack opponents to steadily inflict damage. The Hocotate Ship then descends from outer space, and explodes upon crash landing onto the stage. The duration of the whole Final Smash is faster than in ''SSB4''.

==In competitive play==
In the early metagame, Olimar was widely considered a contender for the best character in ''Ultimate'', alongside others like {{SSBU|Peach}} and {{SSBU|Pichu}}. Olimar had many strengths, including stronger throws, a faster [[Pikmin Pluck]], and less lag on his smash attacks, particularly his up smash. This, along with Olimar's increased speed, made him a rather campy character, overwhelming the opponent with his Pikmin and recover them quickly when they are killed. As a result of these strengths, players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, and {{Sm|Myran}} performed spectacularly with Olimar and consistently placed in top 8 at many tournaments.

Patch 3.0.0 and the subsequent patch 3.1.0, however, nerfed Olimar's smash attacks and made them less safe on shield, while [[Pikmin Throw]] dealt less shield damage. This hurt Olimar in the metagame. Myran saw a noticeable dip in performance and Dabuz now uses both Olimar and {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}. Nevertheless, Dabuz and Shuton continued to achieve high placements with Olimar, and it is widely agreed that Olimar is still a viable threat in the metagame. Shuton in particular was able to win {{Trn|EVO Japan 2020}} with the character.

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
[[File:WoL-40Olimar.jpg|thumb|Finding Olimar in World of Light|left]]
Although Olimar has been absent from the World of Light opening cutscene, he was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (except {{SSBU|Kirby}}) when [[Galeem]] unleashed his beams of light.

Olimar can be found in the mode by choosing to save {{SSBU|Marth}} instead of {{SSBU|Sheik}} or {{SSBU|Villager}}. The spirit of a magician is needed in order to enlarge some mushrooms to reach him.

==[[Spirit]]s==
Olimar's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Olimar has been unlocked. Unlocking Olimar in World of Light allows the player to preview the spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Additionally, due to being an alternate swap, Alph has a fighter spirit of his own, available through the shop. Each fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in ''Ultimate''.

Each type of Pikmin that Olimar utilizes in his moveset also possess a spirit of their own, as either primary or support spirits.

===Fighter Showcase Video===
{{#widget:YouTube|id=AFHgO8rMzcg}}

==Trivia==
*During the [https://www.smashbros.com official ''Ultimate'' website]'s launch on June 12th, 2018, Olimar's name was [[mariowiki:File:Smash Ultimate Olimer.png|erroneously labeled]] as "OLIM'''E'''R" in English variants of his fighter page. The typo was later corrected.
*The part of Olimar's showcase trailer where Alph crouches next to a prone Olimar is a reference to a scene in ''Pikmin 3'' after Alph initially rescues Olimar from the {{IW|pikipedia|Mysterious Life Form}}.
*Olimar's (and Alph's) official artwork resembles {{s|pikipedia|Brittany}}'s pose in her ''Pikmin 3'' artwork (the same one used for her spirit), albeit flipped.
*In [[World of Light]], Olimar and the {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s will never be spawned as a [[false character]] in battles with [[Galeem]] and [[Dharkon]]. While {{SSBU|Kirby}} will also not appear, he was never initially imprisoned in the first place unlike the other fighters.
*Olimar is the only fighter to have an alternate costume of a different character beyond a gender swap in the same pose as his default costume, excluding the Mii Fighters.
*Since update 2.0.0, if Olimar's Pikmin latch onto something and it changes size with them still latched on, they will change their size too. This is most noticeable with the Mother Brain, though Super and Poison Mushrooms will also do this, as long as they are applied by the character the Pikmin are latched onto.
*While Olimar’s default costume is never used in any spirit battles, Alph's main colors are used.
**Furthermore, while Olimar technically appears in four spirit battles, three of them use Alph instead. The only one that features Olimar himself features him as an ally instead of an enemy. This specifically makes Olimar one of two non-DLC fighters that are never directly fought in any spirit battles, the other being Pokémon Trainer.
***Counting DLC fighters, this applies to {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}, {{SSBU|Terry}}, and {{SSBU|Sephiroth}} as well.
*Olimar is featured in the fewest spirit battles out of all non-DLC fighters, only appearing in four.
*Olimar, {{SSBU|Ivysaur}}, {{SSBU|Greninja}}, {{SSBU|Little Mac}}, {{SSBU|Ryu}} and {{SSBU|Ken}} are the only characters to never appear as minions in any spirit battles.
*Strangely, in the "Alph's Origin" [[List of tips (SSBU)#Olimar|tip]], Alph is depicted with his green {{SSBU|alternate costume}}, rather than his default one. No other characters use their non-default costumes in the tips.
*In [[World of Light]], Olimar (and by extension, Alph) is one of the few fighters who is not affiliated with [[Dharkon]] in any way, as all of his encounters as himself or as a puppet fighter are in association with [[Galeem]]. Little Mac, Ivysaur, {{SSBU|Ness}}, {{SSBU|Roy}}, {{SSBU|Toon Link}}, {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Squirtle}}, {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}, and {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} all share this distinction as well.
