'''Pikmin''' are a plant-animal hybrid species and the namesake of the video game series they star in, ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]''. These beings inhabit the planet [[pikipedia:PNF-404|PNF-404]], and spend time buried in the ground, with their leaves sticking out. In the series, they are plucked out the ground by the player to use in battles and such. They have made crossover cameos in ''Mario'' games a few times, but their most important role was with the introduction of [[Captain Olimar]] as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

The Pikmin's first appearance in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] was in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. Here, if the golf ball landed in a patch of flowers, Pikmin would pop out.

Olimar, along with a group of Pikmin were going to appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' when a new type of coffee was made at the [[Starbeans Cafe]]. He would call Mario 'Marlio', an anagram of Olimar and mistake Luigi for a dangerous beast and order his Pikmin to attack him.

Pikmin serve [[smashwiki:Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Although they are technically not playable, [[pikipedia:Olimar|Olimar]] is almost completely helpless without them, for they are featured in all of Olimar's Special Moves, smash attacks, aerial attacks (except for his neutral aerial), and grabs. As such, they must be [[Pikmin Pluck|plucked]] from the ground. When [[Kirby]] gets Olimar's ability, he can also use Pikmin, but after plucking them, he immediately throws them.

A group of Pikmin start to attack a [[smashwiki:R.O.B._Squad#Giant_R.O.B.|giant R.O.B.]] which simply rises its arms and spins around knocking them all off and kills most of them. [[Captain Olimar]] is shocked and scared, however his [[pikipedia:Red Pikmin|Red Pikmin]] informs him of a new visitor. The [[Blue Falcon]] speeds through the forest. [[Captain Falcon]] jumps out of the car, and [[Falcon Punch]]es the robot, sending it flying away. Landing after his attack, Captain Falcon accidentally kills many of the Pikmin, but teams up with Olimar, regardless; and the pair run along some old ruins fighting the [[Subspace Army]]. They notice an [[Arwing]] attacking the ship carrying [[Donkey Kong]]: [[Falco Lombardi]] drops [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] out of his Arwing, and with his Peanut Popguns, the monkey shoots the ship holding Donkey Kong. Captain Falcon and Captain Olimar run to assist.

Pikmin return as Olimar's aids in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''. This time, Olimar appears as "Olimar & Pikmin" on the character selection screen, unlike in Brawl, where he was listed simply as "Captain Olimar".

Olimar can only have three Pikmin following him unlike the predecessor which allowed six. His up-B attacked now involves being carried by winged pikmin. The more Pikmin Olimar has following him, the slower the Winged Pikmin fly.

Pikmin later appeared in a ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' [[microgame]] in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', which belonged to [[9-Volt]]. Here, the player controls [[pikipedia:Empress Bulblax|Empress Bulblax]] and must roll over all of the Pikmin to squish them before the time runs out. However, as the difficulty increases, the Pikmin grow larger and start jumping over the player.

In the ''[[WarioWare D.I.Y.]]'' microgame [[Pikmin (microgame)|Pikmin]], the player controls Captain Olimar, who is holding a Red Pikmin in his hand. The point of the game is to throw the Pikmin onto the rock that contains [[pikipedia:Nectar|nectar]]. If time runs out or if the Pikmin is accidentally thrown into the water, the game ends in a loss.
