He is 3.9 cm tall with his space suit on, from the feet to the top of the antenna, and 1.9 cm tall without.[[3]]( Olimar is quite intellectual, as seen in his extensive writings and vocabulary. He is also interested in science and presumably biology, taking notes and commenting on every treasure and enemy he discovers. These notes do contain some errors , likely because he's an alien and cannot fully understand or explain everything on PNF-404. In addition, he may have a knack for engineering as well, as he was once a mechanic and was the one who designed the Bowsprit .[[5]]( Despite this, Olimar is hinted to be relatively gullible (as shown in his log for the Extraordinary Bolt ) and often prefers his own explanations, whether or not they are correct, over more logical ones, as shown in his notes for the Universal Com and the Preservation Door . His favorite color is red, which he associates with passion and emotion,[[6]]( though he does like the color blue.[[7]]( While on an interstellar vacation from Hocotate , Captain Olimar's ship, the S.S. Dolphin , collides with a meteor, sending the ship hurtling toward an unknown planet . The next day, Olimar awakens on the planet's surface to find the S.S. Dolphin destroyed, and missing 30 of its pieces . On top of this, the planet's oxygen is toxic for his species[[12]]( [[13]]( , leaving Olimar's life-support systems with only enough power for thirty days. Determined to escape, Olimar sets out to retrieve the ship's parts. While wandering around an area known as The Impact Site , Olimar meets odd creatures that he calls Pikmin at their nest, an Onion . Olimar names both after foods from Hocotate that they resemble.[[14]]( [[15]]( The first type of Pikmin Olimar meets is the Red Pikmin , who are able to produce more of their species with Olimar's help. Olimar finds his ship's Main Engine and commands the Pikmin to bring it back to the S.S. Dolphin's remains, allowing the S.S. Dolphin to at least lift off for the night and avoid the hostile nocturnal creatures that reside on PNF-404. After Olimar's success on PNF-404, he was able to blast off the planet to return to Hocotate. Upon arriving at Hocotate Freight , he met up with the President and a new employee named Louie . After landing his ship, he learned that the company was in debt, having to pay at least × 10,100 for the loss of a golden Pikpik carrot shipment. Learning that the Dolphin was sold to help pay the debt, Olimar was so shocked he dropped the souvenir for his son. As the bottle cap rolled past Louie, an old ship was able to suck up the rusty bottle cap. Its pod analyzed the piece of salvage to be worth × 100, which lowered the debt to × 10,000. The President commanded Olimar and Louie to return to the Pikmin Planet and collect more treasure as a result. After repaying the debt, Captain Olimar blasted off the planet but noticed that he somehow left Louie behind. Alas, it was too late, as he was going too fast to turn around and get him. After meeting the President once again to present him with all the treasures he and Louie found, the debt was fully paid. With help from Louie, Alph , Brittany , and Charlie are able to locate Olimar and subdue the Plasm Wraith just long enough for them to take off with Olimar. In the Olimar's Comeback Side Story, Olimar and Louie successfully return to Hocotate with the Koppaites' help. However, the President is livid when he learns that the Hocotate Ship was left behind and destroyed, so he sends Olimar and Louie back to PNF-404 in an Escape Po
