The distance covered  by the chain is dependent on how many Pikmin Olimar has, and can either have an extremely long range or be useless. It has a little vertical rise, but can be used to pseudo-spike edgehogs. It does not reorder the player's Pikmin. When used on the ground, Olimar shoots the Pikmin chain diagonally up like in midair, giving small damage and knockback to whoever it hits, in return for being one of several attacks to hit aerial opponents at an angle from the ground. The effect of the chain on the opponent varies based on the next Pikmin in line; a yellow Pikmin as the next in line will cause electrical damage and minor knockback, a red Pikmin will cause fire damage and minor knockback, a white Pikmin will cause poison damage and minor knockback, and purple or blue Pikmin will cause more damage and still more knockback, respectively. Red Pikmin deal 7%, blue deal 6%, yellow deal 6%, white deal 6%, and purple deal 8%. Tapping down after the chain has fully stretched will recoil the tether quicker than letting it recoil naturally.

==Origin==
==Origin==
In ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 2}}'', leaders can command Pikmin to move them around themselves; if the Pikmin are commanded in one direction, they will gradually form a single file line that can reach a great distance if many Pikmin are in the leader's {{s|pikipedia|squad}}. This line can then be rotated around the leader to direct Pikmin over enemies or treasures they bump into and begin attacking/carrying them. This may have been streamlined into the Pikmin Chain, where Olimar's Pikmin form a line (the more Pikmin in his squad, the longer the Chain) and reach out for an objective - in this case, the ledge.

Though this move is a ''Smash'' original, it has been seen after ''Brawl's'' release. In one of the {{s|pikipedia|Pikmin Short Movies}}, {{s|pikipedia|Treasure in a Bottle}}, the Pikmin try to help a red Pikmin who gets stuck inside a bottle. At the climax of the short, they go inside the bottle and chain together to reach the stuck Pikmin and save it. The way the Pikmin do this is very reminiscent of Pikmin Chain, as they all chain together in a similar fashion; however, this may simply be a coincidence.
