Super Smash Bros - Pikmin & Olimar: Special Moves


Captain Olimar is among the most specialised characters within the cast of Smash Bros. Brawl.

In order to really unleash Olimar’s full potential, you’ve got to have a good knowledge of his helpful cohorts, the Pikmin!

First, uproot a few Pikmin from the ground. You can have up to six Pikmin at one time. As long as there is ground beneath your feet, you can reach down and pull up a Pikmin, but be aware that certain Pikmin are more likely to appear in specific types of flooring.

There are 5 types of Pikmin to use!

- Red Pikmin -
High attack power
Attacks imbued with incendiary properties
Immune to fire

- Yellow Pikmin -
Range of attack slightly larger than usual; 
easy to hit enemies with
Travel in slight arcs when thrown
Attacks imbued with electrical properties

- Blue Pikmin -
Strong when thrown
Slightly more durable than average

- Purple Pikmin -
Doesn’t fly far when thrown
Slow
High attack power
Slams into enemies instead of 
latching on when thrown

- White Pikmin -
Quick and light
When latched onto opponent, 
poison does additional damage

You can work out which Pikmin you will attack with next by looking at the order they are lined up in.

You’ll use a Red Pikmin in your next attack.



In order to perform a Smash Attack, certain mid-air attacks, and even throws, you’re going to need Pikmin!

Anyhow, just do your best to not kill off your platoon. Olimar doesn’t stand much of a chance by himself.
