Olimar is Nintendo's tiny space captain, best known as the protagonist of the Pikmin series, which debuted in 2001. Shigeru Miyamoto created the character, and the original game's success spawned two sequels where Olimar remains central to the story.
Beyond Pikmin, Olimar has made appearances in Super Smash Bros., joining the roster as a playable fighter in both Melee and Brawl. Fans and critics have generally embraced the character across both franchises—his unique design and gameplay mechanics have made him a memorable part of Nintendo's library.
