Article on Pikipedia Alph

Alph (アルフ, Alph) is the first of the three protagonists of Pikmin 3. He was the engineer on the S.S. Drake as well as the youngest crew member. After getting stranded on PNF-404, the world of Pikmin, it fell to him to reunite the crew, get the fruit they were sent to obtain and repair the ship's warp drive. The crew end up running into and saving Olimar in the end.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Four of Olimar's alternate costumes replace his model with Alph, making him an alternate form of a playable character. He has his own alternate palettes as well, having ones resembling his crew-mates Brittany and Captain Charlie, and his third alternate palette resembling Olimar. Despite using a different ship, the S.S. Drake, in Pikmin 3, Alph still uses the Hocotate Ship for his on-screen appearance and Final Smash. He has a trophy using his playable model, classified under the fighters category, but it is obtained in the Trophy Shop rather than as a reward for clearing classic mode, similar to the Koopalings.
