“	My name is Captain Olimar. While traveling through space, my ship was struck by a meteor... I must have blacked out, and I awoke on the surface of a weird planet. With so many parts lost, the skeletal hull of my beloved Dolphin is a painful sight. The engine is gone... I'm stranded. To make matters worse, my atmospheric sensors indicate this planet's environment contains high levels of poisonous oxygen. My life-support systems can function for only 30 days. If I can't repair the Dolphin by then... No! Better not to think about it. I must find the missing ship parts!	„
	~ Olimar upon waking up on PNF-404

“	We've recovered our first treasure! Amazingly, the Pikmin remembered how to salvage it. I can't understand their adorable language and I don't know what they're thinking, yet I'm so happy to see them. When I crashed on this planet, the Pikmin helped me locate my missing ship parts. In my darkest hour, the Pikmin were there for me. Now that I'm reunited with them, I know everything will be alright. It will, right?	„
	~ Olimar after acquiring his first piece of treasure

	“	My search for treasure continues with no luck. But I can't fly back home to Hocotate without procuring a few priceless artifacts! I'm sensing something valuable up ahead. But I'm also sensing danger. So if someone finds this data file, please send word to my son...that I didn't make it.	„

Background

Captain Olimar, also referred to as simply Olimar, is the main protagonist of Pikmin 1, Pikmin 2, and the side stories to Pikmin 3 Deluxe. He also has a minor role throughout the main story of Pikmin 3 where he becomes a primary character in the final location, the Formidable Oak. He is from the planet Hocotate, and while on several missions for his employer, Hocotate Freight, he discovered PNF-404 and all types of Pikmin so far.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Captain Olimar’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Pikmin 1 While on an interstellar vacation from Hocotate, Captain Olimar's ship, the S.S. Dolphin, collided with a meteor and crashed onto an uncharted planet (later named "PNF-404" by natives of Planet Koppai), which is actually the Pikmin' planet. The Dolphin lost 30 pieces, and the accident rendered Olimar unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he found the planet's atmosphere contained high amounts of oxygen, which is extremely poisonous to his species. Fortunately, Olimar landed next to the still, barely functioning skeletal hull of the Dolphin. While wandering around an area he called The Impact Site, Olimar met odd creatures that he called Pikmin at what could be called their nest, which he named an Onion. Both Pikmin and the Onions are named after famous foods Olimar often ate on Hocotate. These Red Pikmin that he discovered were able to reproduce more Pikmin with Olimar's help. Olimar directed them to carry his ship's Main Engine back to The Dolphin's remains, which auto-repaired itself with the parts that Olimar and the Pikmin brought. This allowed the S.S. Dolphin at least to lift off for the night and avoid the hostile nocturnal creatures that reside on PNF-404. Olimar found that the Pikmin followed him loyally, which he guessed was because he plucked each one from the ground or was seen as a parental figure. Olimar's leadership skills and the Pikmins' ability to fight enemies, destroy obstacles and carry ship parts combined to allow Olimar to find each of the various parts of the Dolphin while the Pikmin species flourished. While looking for parts, Olimar discovered other areas, including the Forest of Hope, the Forest Navel, the Distant Spring, and the Final Trial. He also discovered two more Pikmin species, the bomb-carrying Yellow Pikmin and the aquatic Blue Pikmin. Luckily for Olimar, he was able to find the Dolphin's 30 ship parts to attach to the Dolphin's remains with time left to spare. Before he left, he took a bottle cap from the planet as a souvenir for his son. By the time Olimar left, the Pikmin had learned to work together by themselves, and it seemed as though they would survive as species without his assistance, resulting in a happy ending. Alternative Endings Bad Ending If Olimar fails to get twenty-five of the mandatory ship parts by Day 30, he will suffer major poisoning from the oxygen. He will try to fly off, but the Dolphin will come crashing back down again, killing Olimar. His Pikmin will then bring his body to an Onion, which now turns him into a seed that grows on Olimar's head, along with a black stem and leaf, turning him into a Pikmin capable of surviving on PNF-404. Average Ending If Olimar gets the twenty-five necessary ship parts for flight but does not manage to collect all thirty ship parts, he will successfully fly away from the planet, but won't properly say goodbye to the Pikmin who are left staring at the S.S Dolphin. Return to Hocotate After Olimar's success at the Distant Planet, he was able to blast off of the planet to return to Hocotate, see his family and return to his normal life. Deciding to land at Hocotate Freight, he met up with the President of Hocotate Freight and a local employee named Louie. After landing the S.S. Dolphin, he learned that the company was in serious debt, having to pay an amount equal to 10,100 Pokos and the unknown price of Olimar's prized ship, the S.S. Dolphin. This was to pay for the loss of a Golden Pikpik Carrot shipment, supposedly eaten by a ravenous space bunny. Learning that the S.S. Dolphin was sold to pay for some of the debt, Olimar was so shocked he dropped a souvenir he found on the Distant Planet for his son. As the bottle cap rolled past Louie, an old ship, commonly known as 'The Ship' was able to use its Research Pod to suck up the rusty bottle cap. The Pod analyzed the piece of salvage to be worth 100 Pokos, which lowered the remaining debt to 10,000 Pokos. With hope for Hocotate Freight's future insight, The President commanded Olimar and Louie to return to the Distant Planet and collect more treasure to pay off the debt. Pikmin 2 As Olimar and Louie were heading to the Valley of Repose, the ship collided with a tree branch, and the resulting impact jolted Louie out of the cockpit, meaning Olimar had to search for him. Luckily for Olimar, he found a group of Red Pikmin fighting a lone Dwarf Red Bulborb. He was able to unite with Louie by using the Pikmin to penetrate the barriers. Louie had discovered a treasure that was a large double D Duracell battery, dubbed the Courage Reactor and started their treasure -seeking adventure. Later they discovered a series of Caverns deep underground, which housed many treasures and even the previously undiscovered Purple Pikmin. As they were able to make progress in the Awakening Wood and Perplexing Pool, they encountered the undocumented White Pikmin and rediscovered the Yellow and Blue Pikmin, which were eager to help. The debt eventually lowered to a minuscule amount. In the end, Olimar and Louie were able to pay off their company's debt. After repaying the debt, Captain Olimar blasted off the planet but noticed that he somehow left Louie behind. Alas, it was too late, as he was going too fast to turn around and get him. After meeting the President once again to present him with all the treasures he and Louie found, the debt was fully paid. Olimar then told the President that there was more treasure on the planet. The President, looking to increase Hocotate Freight's fortune, then decided to send Olimar and Louie back to the planet. Only then did he realize that Louie was missing. The President decided that he would join Olimar to search for Louie and to make their company even wealthier. The two went to the Wistful Wild to start their search and find more treasure. They both were able to find Louie in the Wistful Wild, but he was at the very bottom of the deep, dark, dangerous Dream Den. To make matters worse, Louie was resting on top of a gigantic Titan Dweevil. Olimar and the President were able to rescue Louie, although they suspect that Louie was the one controlling the Titan Dweevil in the first place. Pikmin 3 Due to to the President's excessive spending and failure of a new business venture, Olimar is sent back to PNF-404 with Louie in search of even more treasure to buy back the S.S. Dolphin and repay Hocotate Freight's newly acquired second debt. However, The Ship lands near a massive creature known as a Quaggled Mireclops, which destroys it, leaving Olimar and Louie stranded. As they explore the planet, they inadvertently pick up the Koppaites' Cosmic Drive Key. After a while, Olimar starts to enjoy the search for treasure and even becomes tempted by it. He at one point writes in his diary he is sick of the President getting everything and how easy it would be to take just one piece of gold. Olimar eventually discovers the Formidable Oak, seeing something glittering at the top of it. Thinking it must be valuable gold, he climbs to the top, only to find it is actually a living creature, the Plasm Wraith. The creature eventually obsesses over Olimar, preventing him from leaving, yet doesn't harm him. Each time Olimar attempts to escape from the Plasm Wraith, the creature activates the suit's auto-sleep feature, preventing him from continuing his escape. With the help of Louie, Alph, Brittany, and Charlie are able to locate Olimar and subdue the Plasm Wraith just long enough for them to take off with Olimar back to their respective planets. In Pikmin 3, his notes state that once he pays off the second debt he will be able to get his beloved S.S. Dolphin back. Olimar's Comeback After returning to Hocotate, the President, distraught from the loss of the Hocotate Ship, forces Olimar and Louie to return to PNF-404 yet again to locate and restore the totaled ship. Over the course of ten days, Olimar and Louie traverse the previously explored lands of PNF-404 in search of the broken parts of the Hocotate Freight Ship, including the biome of the Plasm Wraith; The Forbidden Oak. After recovering all of the Hocotate Ship's pieces, Olimar and Louie are able to rebuild the ship, and return to Hocotate for the final time.

"Winged Pikmin are somewhat lacking in attack strength." "Winged Pikmin are aces in aerial combat." “ Pikmin! „ Background Pikmin are a plant-animal life-form first encountered by Captain Olimar when his ship crash-lands on an uncharted planet in Pikmin. The Pikmin are loyal to their leaders, although their criteria for deciding a leader is unclear. They come in a number of different types, each indicating a unique set of attributes that better suit them to different environments and tasks. Most Pikmin are 1.2 cm, from the top of the head to the feet, and have a vaguely humanoid shape, allowing them to walk, run, carry, and fight. Different types can have different shapes or sizes. Atop any Pikmin's head is a stem, topped with a leaf, bud, or flower, depending on their maturity. Captain Olimar was noted in Pikmin to wonder, a bit uneasily, why the Pikmin don't attack him, and he speculated that they might see him as a "parental figure". However, the Antenna Beetle being able to control Pikmin with its sound might prove that it is in fact the whistle that makes Pikmin non-aggressive. As of Pikmin 3 Deluxe however, it is implied by the various murals located around the globe that they view Olimar as a sort of higher deity who guides them, showing the relationship between Olimar and the Pikmin is one of loyalty. Biology Although each Pikmin species have different characteristics, most Pikmin have the same general appearance: a roughly humanoid body shape, two round eyes, two arms and two legs, two hands and two feet – each with three digits – and a tall stem on which a single leaf, bud, or five-petaled flower grows. Their limbs also serve as roots when buried in the ground. In fact, Olimar refers to their entire bodies, save the stems, as ambulatory root structures. The internal structures of Pikmin are a mystery, but certain things about them can be speculated. Since Pikmin never seem to eat anything, save nectar, they probably have a very simple digestive system, if any. As such, it is likely that Pikmin get a majority of their nutrients from food the Onions break down. Since the Onions are the center of Pikmin reproduction as well, it seems likely that Pikmin are incapable of sexual reproduction. However, in Pikmin, flowering Pikmin will sometimes drop seeds when slain in battle, allowing for new Pikmin to sprout in their place, suggesting that they may be able to reproduce asexually, but also that they do not have defined sexes and are hermaphrodites like many plants. Pikmin also have a skeletal system, as seen when electrocuted. These bones however are incredibly flexible to the point of allowing the Pikmin to act like rubber (Although they can be flattened and killed with enough force). Pikmin don't appear to have any sort of lungs (However, the Blue Pikmin are observed to have gill structures), but their leaves, buds, and flowers appear to serve as their main means of respiration, since poison gas or water droplets collecting around them suffocates the Pikmin; inversely, walking in shallow water in which their leaf/bud/flower does not touch (as seen in the Shower Room) is fine. When killed, Pikmin disappear and a ghost resembling the original Pikmin flies into the air, sometimes after releasing a liquid of the same color as the Pikmin, possibly the Pikmin equivalent to hemolymph or blood – this is best seen when the Cloaking Burrow-nit attacks. Pikmin start off as seeds ejected from the Onion, which, after landing on the ground, transform into sprouts. A leader must pluck a sprout so that the Pikmin may come out or alternatively have the Pluckaphone whistle blown at them to "inspire" them. While idle, the Pikmin's leaves and flowers glow that Pikmin's respective color; that, coupled with a cutscene at the end of Pikmin 2, would suggest that Pikmin are somehow bioluminescent, though what causes this and what function(s) it might serve in the wild have never been explained. Regular Pikmin are able to carry at least ten times their own weight, as evidenced by the ability of Blue Pikmin to lift and toss heavy Purple Pikmin when they are drowning in water and have even been shown to lift entire nuggets of gold roughly the size of the Pikmin. Pikmin are also capable of basic speech and can even be heard saying English phrases like "OK!", "Hi!", and "Yahoo!" after being plucked from the ground. When in a group they will sometimes sing parts of Ai no Uta in Pikmin 2. If left idle for a long time, Pikmin will moan at each other. From what is heard, it can be assumed that Pikmin language is very simple and primitive. Stages Pikmin can be divided into three stages. In the first of these, the Pikmin will have a leaf on their stem, which changes to a bud and then a flower as the stage increases. Leaf Pikmin are the slowest and least efficient at performing tasks, but as the stage goes up the movement speed and task efficiency increases. Along with that, Pikmin think more efficiently in both combat and task when in a higher stage as they sprout into their flower state when thinking of more elaborate plans. In some situations, Pikmin can also instantly mature from leaf to flower if threatened by immediate danger. After this point, they will remain matured for the duration of their lifespan unless reverted back to a prior state in battle. Pikmin can advance their current stage in several ways. The most common way is by being fed nectar. Alternatively, they may be left underground before being plucked, where they will gradually mature with time, or, in Pikmin 3, they can be sprayed. When knocked to the ground in battle in Pikmin and Pikmin 2, they have a chance of losing their maturity and decreasing in stage. They will never revert their current stage in Pikmin 3. In Pikmin, if a flower Pikmin is shaken off, it will revert to a bud, and the bud will revert to a leaf in the same scenario. In Pikmin 2, however, flower Pikmin revert to leaf Pikmin immediately. Like flower Pikmin, buds can be received when leaf Pikmin are allowed to stay in the ground for a certain amount of time.

Upon being activated, a rock's fuse starts going down (represented by a colored wheel), and when it reaches zero, the bomb causes a violent explosion, capable of damaging enemies, Pikmin, leaders and some obstacles. In the first and third games, they can be carried by Pikmin, but only by Yellow Pikmin in the former. In Pikmin 2, they are much larger and serve as obstacles instead of tools, with the exception being on the 2-Player Battle stage Hostile Territory, where they can be picked up and thrown by leaders. They can also appear as items in 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle. Other Standard Tactics: Pikmin are incredibly dependant on a leader for instructions in and out of battle. If left on their own, they will typically latch onto the opponent and begin attacking them repeatedly. Weaknesses: Aside from Bulbmin, every Pikmin either only resists one elemental type or none of them. Purples and Rocks resist no elemental types, and any Pikmin that's not a blue pikmin or Winged Pikmin can drown. Though if a Winged Pikmin does get caught off guard they can fall in the water and proceed to drown themselves. However this weakness can be avoided with the help of Blue Pikmin throwing them out of the water

• Ultra-Spicy Spray: Ultra-spicy spray is a red-colored spray that can be obtained by gathering ten ultra-spicy berries from a Burgeoning Spiderwort plant or finding a concentrated dose. When used, any Pikmin in the party will become more be aggressive, making them more efficient at their tasks and instantly bloom into the flower stage as well.

Ultra-Bitter Spray: Ultra-bitter spray is the purple-colored spray that can be obtained from ten purple Burgeoning Spiderwort berries, or by finding a concentrated dose. When used, it temporarily turns any nearby enemy or bomb-rock into stone, rendering them unable to do anything. Alternatively, the spray can be used on Pikmin to bury them in the ground, making them unable to perform tasks.

S.S Dolphin Profile

Background The S.S. Dolphin is a delivery spaceship that belongs to Captain Olimar in the game Pikmin. It is wrecked when it collides with a comet during a flight on a vacation, and thirty of its pieces end up scattered around the five areas of the Pikmin planet (Later named PNF-404 in Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe); Pikmin involves the collection of these using the Pikmin. The S.S. Dolphin is the ship used to fly to the atmosphere between days in this game. When Olimar returns to Hocotate with a completely repaired ship at the start of Pikmin 2, the S.S. Dolphin is sold to help pay the Hocotate Freight company's enormous debt caused by Louie. It is then replaced by the Hocotate ship, a direct downgrade in terms of flight capabilities, that both Olimar and Louie must use to return to PNF-404 to acquire large amounts of treasure. After the events of Pikmin 2, Olimar and Louie return yet again to PNF-404 in Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe to acquire more treasure after Hocotate Freight's President falls into yet another debt. Olimar is yet again with the Hocotate Ship, still needing to rebuy his S.S Dolphin. General Information Name: S.S Dolphin Origin: Pikmin Age: Unknown (The model appears to be rather new, and Olimar even calls the Hocotate Ship old in comparison) Classification: Delivery Spaceship Users: Captain Olimar Terrain: PNF-404 and Hocotate's solar system/galaxy Codex Statistics Tier: Likely 10-A, 4-C with the Nova Blaster Cardinality: Finite Dimensionality: 3-D Attack Potency: Likely Above Average Human level (The S.S Dolphin is designed to haul loads of items throughout space at high speeds), At least Star level with the Nova Blaster (The Nova Blaster can create shockwaves that can reduce stars to bits) Durability: Likely Above Average Human level (Was able to briefly stay intact when hit by a comet before catching on fire upon atmospheric reentry. Scales to other ships such as the S.S Drake which survived a small explosion within orbit and crashing onto the surface of PNF-404 with no notable damage) Speed: At least Faster Than Light (The S.S Dolphin can travel 279,000 light years in seconds and beyond "super light speed". The S.S Dolphin is designed for intergalactic travel), Higher with the Chronos Reactor (The Chronos Reactor changes permutations in the space-time continuum into pure energy, allowing the S.S Dolphin to launch itself across the universe) Attack Speed: Unknown: Undefinable with the Nova Blaster (The Nova Blaster creates shockwaves that travel in the currents of space-time, destroying anything in its path) Stamina: Limitless with the Eternal Fuel Dynamo (The Eternal Fuel Dynamo generates an unlimited amount of energy for the S.S Dolphin) Range: Below Average Melee physically, Universal with the Chronos Reactor and Nova Blaster (The Chronos Reactor can warp the space-time continuum and the Nova Blaster travels through the currents of space-time), Multi-Universal with ship sensors (Should be superior to the Hocotate Ship's sensors, which can locate and interact with the Waterwraith's true form) Powers and Techniques Superhuman Speed, Spaceflight, Small Size (Bug Sized; Although significantly taller than Olimar, it's still incredibly small), possibly Genius Intelligence (Although not shown, the S.S Dolphin should be no different than the Hocotate Ship's AI which can create physics-defying technology), Inorganic Physiology (Is a delivery spaceship with the potential consciousness of an AI), Information Analysis and Cosmic Awareness (Can scan anomalies such as the Waterwraith and was able to deduce and sense that its physical form was present in a separate dimension. The Guard Satellite can scan and detect threats incoming]. The Whimsical Radar scans nearby lost ship parts), Dimensional Storage (Can store dozens of treasures and packages in its hull like the Hocotate Ship), Teleportation (Upon being incapacitated in battle, the S.S Dolphin will teleport Olimar back to his cockpit regardless of where he is), Healing and Restoration (The S.S Dolphin can restore both Olimar and his suit to full health), Radiation Manipulation (The Radiation Canopy can transform and nullify space radiation), Light Manipulation (Nova blaster is stated to emit a dazzling burst of light), Electricity Generation and Sunlight Absorption (Can generate an infinite amount of electricty with the Eternal Fuel Dynamo. The Positron Generator absorbs solar cells to generate electricty to power the ship's interior components), Limited Purification (Can filter out toxins to prevent pollution with the Anti-Dioxin Filter), Gravity Manipulation (The Gravity Jumper manipulates gravity, allowing for easier takeoff and reentry on various planets), Gluon Manipulation (The Gluon Drive is stated to metaphysically bind gluons to travel through space), Regeneration and Restoration (High-Mid. The Repair-Type Bolt can repair anything in the ship, including the engine. The S.S Dolphin can rebuild itself from damaged remains of over a dozen parts. The S.S Dolphin can restore its components to their rightful positions in functioning order), Space-Time Manipulation, Light Manipulation, and Shockwave Generation (The Nova Blaster fires a beam of dazzling light that can send shockwaves through space-time), Reality Warping, Transmutation, and Velocity Manipulation (The Chronos Reactor warps the space-time continuum, changing permutations in the space-time continuum to allow the S.S Dolphin to launch itself across the universes). Resistance to Cosmic Radiations, Gravity Manipulation, and Biological Manipulation (Can survive and traverse in the vacuum of space for several days. The Radiation Canopy can transform and nullify space radiation), Space-Time Manipulation and Reality Warping (Should be unaffected by its own weaponry which warps all of space and time) Other Weaknesses: Despite its incredibly powerful weaponry, the S.S Dolphin seems to lack any defensive shields or barriers to protect itself from danger Note: This is the S.S Dolphin Pikmin. Although there's no official statement on the canonicity of Hey! Pikmin, several implications suggest that it's an alternate timeline in which the events of Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe never occurred. Furthermore, due to Hey! Pikmin being a spin-off, the canonicity is put into even more question.

Optional Equipment

• Cupid's Grenade Items:

Icon	Power	Description
	+5 Sprouts	Grants the player five Pikmin sprouts, if they have less than 50.
	+10 Sprouts	Just like the previous, but ten sprouts.
	Flower	Makes all of the player's Pikmin that are not planted in the ground bloom into flowers.
	Ghost	Makes the player's leader and Pikmin become invisible to the opponent for a limited amount of time.
	Ultra-bitter spray	Grants one dose of ultra-bitter spray.
	Ultra-spicy spray	Grants one dose of ultra-spicy spray.
	Marble return	Makes the player's marble, if above ground, bounce all the way back to the Onion, regardless of distance. Any opposing Pikmin carrying the marble will be knocked down.
	Withering Blowhog	Makes a Withering Blowhog appear near the opponent's Onion.
	Swooping Snitchbug	Makes a Swooping Snitchbug appear near the opponent's Onion.
	Boulders	Makes several boulders drop near the opponent.
	Volatile Dweevil	Drops a Volatile Dweevil near the opponent.
	Fiery/Watery Blowhog	Makes a Blowhog appear near the opponent's Onion. If the opponent is Louie, a Fiery Blowhog will appear. If the opponent is Olimar, a Watery Blowhog appears instead.

Icon	Name	Description
	+10 Pikmin	Makes the user's Onion generate ten of the player's starting Pikmin.
	+5 Rare Pikmin	Makes the user's Onion spawn five of the type of Pikmin the player did not start with. This item is not available on maps that only have one type of Pikmin.
	Lightning	Strikes opponents and their nearby non-Yellow Pikmin with an immobilizing current of lightning. Like all electric hazards in Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe, it simply immobilizes them, and proves no direct harm to the Pikmin.
	Lucky Marble	Acts the same as if collecting a Lucky Marble.
	Rock Storm	Causes four large boulders to fall near where the opponent's leader is standing, killing any non-Rock Pikmin. It's harder to dodge these boulders than their Pikmin 2 counterparts. A leader can escape intact if they are always moving throughout the storm. If the player knows that the strike is incoming, they can dismiss their Pikmin to minimize the death toll. These boulders can also harm leaders and Pikmin from the team that spawned them, as well as Pikmin that are shocked on the floor.
	Ultra-spicy spray	Instantly makes the player's Pikmin gain the effects of an Ultra-spicy spray.
	Enemy Annihilator	Kills all on-screen enemies.
	Bomb	Causes a bomb rock to spawn in front of the player's leader.
	Shuffle	Scrambles the opponent's bingo card. Although rare, it's possible that the items will be shuffled in a way that triggers a victory for the opponent.
	Mine	Spawns a mine in front of the active leader. Pikmin can carry these, just like bomb rocks. When the Pikmin is thrown, the mine sticks to wherever the Pikmin hits, and will only detonate when a leader walks by.
	Warp	Teleports the opponent to a random area on the map, along with any Pikmin in their current squad.
	Macaroon Recovery	Transports the player's macaroon back to their Onion, even if it is already nearby.

Notable Techniques

• Whistle: The whistle is a main part of the gameplay in the Pikmin games. It is the primary way of calling idle Pikmin and leaders over onto the active leader's group, the secondary way being the active leader bumping into them. Whistling can also be used to instantly rescue Pikmin who are under the effects of certain hazards, or Pikmin trapped by special enemy attacks. Throughout the series, the whistle has been modified and repurposed for multiple different techniques.
  • Call: By blowing the whistle for an extended period of time, any idol Pikmin or captains will be alerted and fall into line next to the captain issuing the command.
  • Dismiss: Using the dismiss signal alerts any pikmin and captains following the current captain to separate into idol groups for further action.
  • Charge: The swarm command plays a sound equivalent to a blow horn which signals any active Pikmin groups in the captain's party to charge a targetted objective.
  • Swarm: The swarm technique directs any and all Pikmin in the captain's current troop to fall in on an objective in quick succession.

• Whistle Upgrades:
  • The Mega Tweeter: The Mega Tweeter is obtained by defeating the Raging Bloyster in the Shower Room and collecting the Amplified Amplifier. This upgrade increases the range of the whistles of all captains. The diameter of the visible circle projected on the ground increases to about 144% of its original size, thus more than doubling the area the whistle affects. This makes it easier to call scattered Pikmin to the captain's side, even when being slow in the Onions.
  • Pluckaphone: The Pluckaphone is obtained by defeating the Waterwraith in the Submerged Castle and collecting the Professional Noisemaker. It is an upgrade that allows the captain' whistles to call buried Pikmin out from the ground, saving precious time that would otherwise be spent plucking them out. As well as picking newly produced Pikmin at the Onions, this is useful for calling out Pikmin that were planted by wildlife in battle.
  • Dodge Roll: The Dodge Whistle can be found on a small cliff a short distance away from the exit to the Vehemoth Phosbat cave. It is an upgrade that allows captains to dodge left or right, guiding the Pikmin to do the same. It is done in a straight line normally, or in an arc around a locked-on target.

• Throw: A standard technique which involves throwing a captain or Pikmin at an objective. This technique is used primarily to launch Pikmin at foes from a distance with risking as many casualties, at the risk of only being to throw one Pikmin at a time. All Pikmin have varying effects and different abilities in combat that allow them to stand out from their fellow speciemen.
  • Red Pikmin: Red Pikmin are the first Pikmin discovered in each of the three Pikmin games. They possess a standard throwing arc with average range. Due to their 1.5 times increased damage output, they are ideal for combat.
  • Yellow Pikmin: Yellow Pikmin are typically the second Pikmin discovered throughout the games (The exception being Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe). Due to their lighter body weight, they have the highest throwing arc in the series, and can easily reach most airborne enemies.
  • Blue Pikmin: Blue Pikmin are the last Pikmin species discovered in the games (Mainly due to their aquatic diversity). Thanks to their gills, Blue Pikmin excel both on land, and underwater, making them perfect for exploring in submerged areas without risk of drowning.
  • Purple Pikmin: Purple Pikmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2, and the first to be discovered. Their heavy weight and strength of ten regular Pikmin make them deadly warriors. Thanks to their weight, Purple Pikmin have the shortest throwing distance, but can create powerful shockwaves on impact with a solid surface.
  • White Pikmin: White Pikmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2 and are the second species to be found by Olimar and Louie. Their light bodies and small size allow them to be thrown the furthest. To add on, consumed White Pikmin can poison targets, instantly killing them.
  • Bulbmin: Bulbmin are one of three Pikmin species discovered in the caves of Pikmin 2 and are the final species to be discovered. Bulbmin are unique in that they possess the body of a juvenile bulborb, allowing to resist most elemtal hazards.
  • Rock Pikmin: Rock Pikmin are the second species of Pikmin to be discovered by the Koppaites in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Their rocky physiology gives them the most unique attack of all Pikmin, as throwing them does not latch them on to targets, but instead strike the target before bouncing off a short a distance.
  • Winged Pikmin: Winged Pikmin are the fourth species of Pikmin to be discovered by the Koppaites in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and the final new species. Their ability to fly makes Winged Pikmin the most capable aerial warriors of the Pikmin species. When thrown, they can latch onto targets, or home in on them when flying. The Winged Pikmin's biggest droback is its weaker attack output.

Other

Standard Tactics: Olimar will typically scan his surroundings with his radars (With his KoPad as of Pikmin 3 Deluxe) and approach an opponent with caution before tactically commanding his Pikmin army to attack the opponent, whilst also using sprays to better his chances at victory.

Weaknesses: Must wear a spacesuit while on unknown planets. He mainly relies on his Pikmin to get work done, so losing all Pikmin causes him to become extremely depressed and drop everything he's doing to flee.

Note: This Captain Olimar from the mainline Pikmin games. Although there's no official statement on the canonicity of Hey! Pikmin, several implications suggest that it's tied in more with Pikmin 4 than the events of Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3/Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Furthermore, due to Hey! Pikmin being a spin-off that came out after the release of the original trilogy (Therefore unexcusing the inconsistencies), the canonicity is put into even more question.
