'''Nolimar''' (also known as '''Solimar''' or '''Solomar''') refers to the practice of using Olimar (or Alph) without any [[Pikmin]], either due to losing Pikmin from them being [[KO]]'d and being forced into the situation, or by choosing to play the entire match with no Pikmin.
'''Nolimar''' (also known as '''Solimar''' or '''Lolimar''') refers to the practice of using {{SSBB|Olimar}} without any [[Pikmin]], either due to losing Pikmin from being [[KO]]'d, or by choosing to play the entire match with no Pikmin.


Without Pikmin, {{SSBB|Olimar}} only has six attacks: his [[neutral attack|jab's]] two hits, his three [[tilt]]s, his [[dash attack]], and his [[neutral aerial]]. Nolimar is capable of racking up damage with most of these moves, with his forward tilt and dash attack being his [[KO]] moves. Combined with the hop from a blank [[Pikmin Chain]] in Brawl, and the [[Armor|Super Armour]] of [[Pikmin Order]], it is possible (albeit incredibly difficult) to win a match as Nolimar despite his pitiful KO power and major problems with [[Stale-move negation|stale moves]].
Without Pikmin, Olimar only has six attacks: his [[neutral attack]]'s two hits, his three [[tilt]]s, his [[dash attack]], and his [[neutral aerial]]. Nolimar is capable of racking up damage with most of these moves, with his foward tilt and dash attack being his "KO" moves. Combined with the hop from a blank [[Pikmin Chain]] and the [[launch resistance]] of [[Pikmin Order]], it is possible to with a match as Nolimar despite his pitiful KO power and major problems with [[stale moves]]; of course this is incredibly difficult.


Note that at the start of a match, Olimar will automatically [[Pikmin Pluck|pluck]] three Pikmin during his entrance, so to intentionally play as Nolimar, the player will have to use [[Pikmin Throw]] or his [[forward smash]] to throw the Pikmin off of the stage, have the Pikmin attacked, have Olimar KO'd, or simply choose to never use Pikmin-based attacks - though the Pikmin can still interfere with opponents by being hit in this case.

In ''[[SSB4]]'', Olimar's abilities without any Pikmin were slightly buffed, most notably by the removal of [[Pikmin Chain]] in favour of [[Winged Pikmin]] (which, despite not being treated as Pikmin by the game, could be argued to violate the spirit of Nolimar due to technically ''being'' Pikmin), and the improved reach on his [[jab]], and higher [[knockback]] on his forward tilt, though it's worth noting that [[Pikmin Order]] has fewer armour frames than in ''Brawl''.
