Olimar in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Pikmin
Other playable appearance	in Brawl
Final Smash	End of Day

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. 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

• Pikmin appear to be slightly larger; Olimar's size appears mostly unchanged.
• The following moves are visually unchanged from Brawl:
  • Forward tilt
  • Forward smash
  • Down smash
  • Back aerial
  • Down taunt
• Hocotate Ship is known to return in a capacity other than as Olimar's Final Smash, though it is not yet confirmed whether it is still involved in his Final Smash or not.
• Olimar will only be able to carry three Pikmin at a time (unlike in Brawl, where he could carry six), and will pluck Pikmin in a set cycle (Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, White, Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, White, etc.)
