Olimar returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Aesthetically, his design is now based on his appearance in ''Pikmin 3'': he now has a {{s|pikipedia|whistle}} on the bottom of his helmet, similarly to [[Alph]], {{s|pikipedia|Brittany}} and {{s|pikipedia|Charlie}}, the two top buttons on spacesuit are now blue instead of red, and a Hocotate Freight patch appears on both of his arms. Olimar was the first veteran to be confirmed after those revealed at [[E3 2013]]. Four of his [[alternate costume]]s ~~consist of~~ Alph, one of the protagonists of ''Pikmin 3''.

Olimar was the first veteran to be confirmed after those revealed at [[E3 2013]]. Four of his [[alternate costume]]s swap him out with Alph, one of the protagonists of ''Pikmin 3''.

Olimar is currently ranked 21st on the [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the C tier. He ~~received a notable nerf~~, as the number of Pikmin he can have by his side was halved from six to three, which weakens his overall damage output and camping potential. However, he received various buffs in other areas, with the most beneficial being [[Winged Pikmin]] replacing [[Pikmin Chain]] as his recovery move. In comparison to Pikmin Chain, Winged Pikmin is capable of much greater recovery distance. Other buffs include a more powerful forward tilt, typically stronger smash attacks, and faster forward and back aerials. Despite his nerfs, Olimar is still seen as a relatively viable choice for competitive play, and he has gained some decent representation.
