The little space captain who made being six inches tall feel like cosmic horror and comedy at once.
Olimar stands out because his games weaponize scale better than almost anyone else in Nintendo's catalog. He is practical, slightly frazzled, and constantly one bad decision away from being outwitted by a beetle.
Example
Pikmin's crashed-ship premise turned yard debris into expedition drama, and Olimar's logs sold the whole illusion.
Why it matters
Olimar matters because perspective can be a character trait when the whole world is designed around it.
