A veteran spaceship pilot for Hocotate Freight, Captain Olimar partners with Pikmin in Smash Bros. to help him in battle. Olimar is much stronger when he's got Pikmin with him, so keep them plucked and good to go. Pikmin abilities are based on their color—learn what each is best at!
Pikmin can be useful for things besides attacking. For example, throwing a Pikmin at a carrier item like a crate makes it latch on and attack it — it can even destroy it. Also, timing a thrown Pikmin against an opponent's charging move or ranged attack can partially cancel it out. Don't forget to restock if your Pikmin get scattered.

Pikmin aren't just good for attacking, you know. For example, when you throw them, they can pick up items on their way back. Only items that aren't very heavy, though!
