Pikmin & Olimar

Captain Olimar was announced to be a playable character on the Smash Bros. Dojo!! on the 9th of January, 2008. This character was actually given the name Pikmin and Olimar. Olimar has a very different moveset compared to other characters, as he depends heavily on his Pikmin while performing attacks. Without his Pikmin, he is unable to do a smash-attack, for example. Captain Olimar uses all kinds of Pikmin from Pikmin 2, which come in five colors: Red, blue, yellow, purple and white. In order to use the Pikmin, he has to pluck them from the ground, similar to the original Pikmin games. Based on the screenshots, Captain Olimar is also the smallest character revealed as of far, being shorter than even Diddy Kong.



Final Smash
The Pikmin and Olimar's Final Smash is called End of Day. It is currently unknown what the attack does but End of Day in the original Pikmin games was when Olimar and his Pikmin returned to their respective spaceships to orbit the planet. They would go to into space to sleep because predators roamed the planet during the night. This may indicate the final smash involves Pikmin and Olimar retreating into ships and a pack of predators like Bulborbs attacking the other opponents.

Pikmin
You can figure out which Pikmin you will attack with next by looking at the order they are lined up in. Pikmin are limited to six at once, meaning you can have all 5 colors of the Pikmin at once, including one extra Pikmin of any color (they are plucked at random).
