Olimar stumbles upon a sentient, indigenous plant/animal hybrid species, which he dubs Pikmin; he effectively enlists them to help him find his ship's parts. Although there are three possible endings to ''Pikmin'', the canon ending sees Olimar return home with the S.S. Dolphin fully repaired, segueing directly into the beginning of ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 2}}''.

In the beginning of ''Pikmin 2'', it is revealed that his employer, {{s|pikipedia|Hocotate Freight}}, wound up accruing a colossal debt during the events of ''Pikmin'' because of a falsified report by a fellow employee named {{s|pikipedia|Louie}} (who like Olimar is also named after a ''Mario'' character being Mario’s brother [[Luigi]]) Upon Olimar's return, the company was forced to sell the S.S. Dolphin after he had spent weeks repairing it - lowering the debt to 100'100 [[pikipedia:Poko|pokos]]. The shock of the revelation of the company's fate causes Olimar to drop a bottle cap that he brought home as a souvenir for his son. However, an old Hocotate Freight Ship analyzes the cap and discovers that it is worth 100 pokos, an extraordinary amount (worth more than a year's salary); when {{s|pikipedia|the President}} learns about how there are more objects like the bottle cap on the distant planet, he makes Olimar and Louie return there in the Hocotate Freight Ship to gather [[pikipedia:Treasure Hoard|treasure]] to pay off the company's debt. After obtaining 10,000 pokos' worth of treasure, Olimar accidentally leaves the planet without Louie, forcing Olimar to team up with the President to save him.

In ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 3}}'', Olimar is not the main protagonist, although he still plays an important role in the game's story. Having returned to the distant planet (dubbed "PNF-404" by the {{s|pikipedia|Koppai}}tes) in search of more treasure in order to buy back the S.S. Dolphin and pay off Hocotate Freight's second instance of debt, Olimar salvages the {{s|pikipedia|Cosmic Drive Key}} dropped by the [[S.S. Drake]], forcing [[Alph]], {{s|pikipedia|Brittany}} and {{s|pikipedia|Charlie}} to seek him out so they can reclaim it and repair their ship. In the end, they find that he has been captured by the [[Plasm Wraith]], which they defeat to save him before departing for their respective home planets.
