Trivia
- His name in japanese (Lugii) is an anagram of Luigi as Olimar (Orima) is to Mario. Their proportions are also relatively similar to Luigi and Mario, respectively.
- As mentioned above, a costume of Olimar's closely remembles Louie. In the two player All-Star mode, the player faces two Olimars in the last round; the second Olimar has the "Louie" colour scheme.
- In pikmin2 Louie had a whistle different to Olimar's which sounded somewhat like a harmonica.
