After many weeks of hard work, Captain Olimar
took off in a rocketship to find a nice planet for peace and relaxation.
Unfortunately, his ship crash-landed on a planet where the air was poisonous to
his kind. If he could not repair his ship in 30 days, his oxygen would run out,
and he would die.
But on his first day on the planet, he met little creatures that he called
Pikmin. These Red, Yellow, and Blue critters were weak individually, but with
his help they could become monstrous in groups. With the help of the Pikmin,
Olimar found all the parts of his ship and returned home.
When he got there, though, he found that the company he worked for is bankrupt,
and had a massive debt to pay off. Remembering all the treasure he had found on
the Pikmin home world, Olimar grabbed his new assistant Louie and together they
journeyed back in order to pay off their debt. (Olimar & Louie? Sound
familiar?)
"They resemble the Pik-Pik carrots I like back home. I will call
them...Pikmin." -Captain Olimar

Though Olimar is likely behind SFF in the stats, it barely matters as it's very unlikely we'll ever see him in the field again. Pikmin is a generally well-liked series, though it and Olimar have failed to become part of the elite Nintendo inner circle that grants the mega popularity to certain series and characters in the company. Maybe a few more games in the Pikmin series for Olimar could bode well for him, but his match with Mario showed that he has a long-ass way to go before he means much in the Nintendo pecking order.
