Hey there! I'm the101. I like games and such, and I remember a lot of unnecessary things about them. It uniquely only comes in handy for editing wikis... Go figure!

Workshop: Pikmin in Super Smash Bros. 4

Between the releases of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4, the third entry in the Pikmin series Pikmin 3 was released in 2013. A significant amount of its content was incorporated into Smash 4, including Pikmin 3's Alph as a alternate character swap for Olimar and a new stage - Garden of Hope. The first Pikmin item (sans the Distant Planet-exclusive Pellets) was introduced in Smash 4. Much of the Pikmin content from Brawl was carried over into Smash 4, including the Distant Planet stage. Music pieces used in Brawl by the group Strawberry Flower did not return in Smash 4.

Characters

• 
  Olimar: a captain from the Hocotate Freight who has learned to command altruistic plant-like aliens called Pikmin. He was the first playable character announced for Smash 4 after E3 2013, being confirmed on July 12, 2013 to coincide with the Japanese release of Pikmin 3. His whistle from Pikmin 3 has been incorporated into his design, and the finer details of his spacesuit from Brawl have been downplayed. His neutral attack is now the one-two combo from Pikmin 2. All five Pikmin from Brawl return. Olimar can only have three Pikmin follow him at once rather than six. Instead of plucking Pikmin at random, Olimar plucks them in a fixed order of: Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Purple, and back to Red. He has a new recovery move where Winged Pikmin from Pikmin 3 carry him and his Pikmin to safety. Four of the eight alternate costumes replace Olimar with Alph, a blue-haired engineer and one of the three protagonists in Pikmin 3, but the change is purely cosmetic. At some point in late development, Alph was going to be "promoted" into a playable clone that utilized Rock Pikmin, but this never came into fruition.

Items

Bold italics denotes an item or Assist Trophy new to the Smash Bros. series.

The Pic of the Day introducing the Hocotate Bomb as a new item.

• Pellet (throwing): a colorful, crystallized disc of nectar from the original Pikmin only accessible on the Distant Planet stage. A pellet is held in the disc of a tall flower called a Pellet Posy and will be dropped if the Posy is struck. The pellet can either be picked up and tossed as a projectile weapon, or it can be thrown at an Onion. The Onion will use the procured pellet to create items.
• Hocotate Bomb (throwing): an explosive rocket that resembles the Hocotate Ship from Pikmin 2. Similar to End of Day, the bomb launches skyward and comes back crashing down, creating a large explosion that damages nearby opponents on impact. Being tossed or attacked trigger its launch. If it was tossed, it will not harm the wielder. It can also take fighters up with it as it ascends, similar to Mega Man's up aerial. If struck enough times, it will explode immediately. This bomb is not in any of the Pikmin games.

Smash Tour items

• Plasm Wraith (Red): a gelatinous beast from Pikmin 3. It heals the user when they block attacks with their shield.

Enemies

Enemies that appear in both Smash Run in the 3DS version and Smash Tour in the Wii U version.

• Iridescent Glint Beetle (Pilli auricus): a subterranean species of beetle from Pikmin 2. In Smash Run, it is usually only found in bonus rooms. It does not present any harm. When struck, it drops gold. It can be hit about 4-5 times before it scuttles back underground. In Smash Tour, any player that bumps into one on the board is awarded extra fighters.

Smash Run enemies

Enemies exclusive to the 3DS version. They appear in Smash Run.

• Bulborb (Oculus kageyamii russusa): a large, red subspecies of grub-dog from the original Pikmin. It is a large enemy that does not flinch from most attacks and cannot be grabbed. It takes many hits to take down. It will lumber towards the opponents and snap at them with their mandibles, or slam into them with its colorful backside. For aerial opponents, it will jump up and try to headbutt them.

Stages

for Nintendo 3DS

• 
  Distant Planet: staged in the Forest of Hope from the original Pikmin. Pellet-bearing posies and Onions are found on this stage. Striking a posy causes it to drop its pellet, which can either be thrown as a projectile or brought to an Onion. The Onion uses the pellet to create items. The number of items created is dependent on the number on the face of the pellet (1, 5, or 10) and if the pellet matches the color of the Onion it is brought to. Distant Planet is subject to changes in weather: rain causes flash floods that carry fighters off of the lowest platform. An enormous Bulborb occasionally walks in stage left and can be used as a platform. However, it will eat fighters that stay on its back too long. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 6 of All-Star Mode as a home stage for Olimar and Alph. Its Ω form takes place on a tree stump.

for Wii U

• 
  Garden of Hope: staged in an alien garden from Pikmin 3. It is a large stage that is made up of two large columnar platforms, a climbing stick, a pot, and a set of elevator platforms on the side, which function as scales. A small bridge appears to connect the two large platforms. Fighters can destroy the pot and the Climbing Stick, and can stand on top of both. Wild Pikmin will come onto the stage to fix any damage done, such as rebuilding the bridge and the pot. Fighters can get stuck in the pot if they stand in the middle while Pikmin are rebuilding it. An enormous creature called the Peckish Aristocrab will occasionally lumber across the stage, destroying structures and damaging fighters in its wake. If fighters have ≥80% damage, making contact with the Aristocrab can result in an instant KO. A Bulborb and the S.S. Drake appear in the background. The Garden of Hope large enough to accommodate 8-Player Smash. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 2 of All-Star Mode as a home stage for Olimar and Alph. Its Ω form is columnar. The trophy gallery in the Wii U stage suggests that Alph's co-workers, Brittany and Captain Charlie, were originally going to appear on this stage in some capacity.

References within Smash

Testing a potential new layout for the bottom of the universe pages, which are currently, well, a mess. Some information is specified multiple times and their is no cohesion. I think standardization would make these sections much easier to read, so I propose the following.

Referential Organization Scheme

• Elements are categorized into Fighter elements or Game elements. The latter are any elements from the applicable universe not apparent in the the fighters themselves and exist independently of them.
• Smash game: Elements within these categorizes are organized by their appearances in Smash titles. Smash titles are arranged in succession by their release dates (i.e. Smash 64, Melee, Brawl...)
  • Fighter elements organization is yet to be finalized.
  • Game elements rely on a similar organization scheme to the trophy collections.
    • Items
    • Assist trophy and Poké Ball characters
    • Enemy characters (Adventure Mode, Subspace Emissary, Smash Run, and Smash Tour - not stage hazards)
    • Bosses
    • Stages (including elements specific to the stages, such as hazards, background objects)
    • Music
    • Masterpieces
    • Challenges

Below is an example of how the above scheme would be implemented. I compiled all of the information specified on the Mario (universe) page concerning elements from Mario Bros.

Mario Bros.

Fighter elements

• Mario’s blue-and-red costume is based on his appearance on the Japanese arcade cabinet.
• Mario’s cyan-and-pink costume resembles his appearance on the Famicom boxart.
• Luigi debuted in this title.
• Luigi’s cyan costume resembles Mario's appearance on the American N.E.S. boxart.
• Luigi's crawling animation is accompanied with this title's running sound effect.
• Wario's cyan-and-pink costume resembles Mario's appearance on the Famicom boxart.

Game elements

• The revival platform characters respawn on is similar to how characters respawn in this title after losing a life.
• The POW Block is in interactive object on Mushroom Kingdom and Mario Bros. in Smash 64 and Brawl, respectively. It is a throwing item in SSB4.
• The Freezie appears as a throwing item.
• Mario Bros. appears as a stage.
• Shellcreepers are hazards on Mario Bros. in Brawl. They appear as a trophy in SSB4.
• Sidesteppers are hazards on Mario Bros. and a sticker in Brawl. They each appear as a trophy in SSB4.
• "Mario Bros." is an arrangement of the title theme.
• Fighter Flies appear as a trophy.
