Hailing from one of the best celebrated games on Nintendo GameCube, Captain Olimar and his Pikmin buddies have finally found their way onto the next-gen platform by joining the cast of brawlers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii.

Today’s update from the Smash Bros. DOJO! website takes a further look into the latest playable by showing off the different special moves Captain Olimar and his Pikmin cohorts can pull off.

The five differently colored Pikmin aren’t for show though – each one actually has a specific “fighting style”, so to speak. Here’s a list of the different attributes of each Pikmin:

Red Pikmin

  • High attack power
  • Attacks imbued with incendiary properties
  • Immune to fire

Yellow Pikmin

  • Range of attack slightly larger than usual; easy to hit enemies with
  • Travel in slight arcs when thrown
  • Attacks imbued with electrical properties

Blue Pikmin

  • Strong when thrown
  • Slightly more durable than average

Purple Pikmin

  • DoesnÂ’t fly far when thrown
  • Slow
  • High attack power
  • Slams into enemies instead of latching on when thrown

White Pikmin

  • Quick and light
  • When latched onto opponent, poison does additional damage

Olimar definitely adds a new dimension to this fast and furious fighting game with his unique combat potential. We really can’t wait for this game to hit the shelves next month. In the meantime, why not take a gander at more screenshots of Olimar and the rest of  his multi-colored platoon.
