Nintendo EPD’s Pikmin 4 is entertaining players across the world, especially given it’s the first in the series to feature a fully customizable main character. While departing from the past in some ways, players have been wondering whether fan favorite protagonist Alph makes a return.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

** Naturally, the below article contains some spoilers, so only read on if you’re content for the presence or absence of Alph to be revealed. **<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Is Alph in Pikmin? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He’s one of the three explorers who stars in Pikmin 3. His main role is as the engineer of the SS Drake, a ship his grandfather designed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alph quickly won fans of the 2013 title over with his generosity and benevolence, frequently performing selfless acts and showing respect to others, like Captain Charlie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His character model is that of a blue-haired baby in a space suit, ensuring he’s just as adorable as he is friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does He Return in Pikmin 4? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No, Alph is not in Pikmin 4.<\/a> <\/strong>He doesn’t return at all in the 2023 title, with Nintendo<\/a> instead deciding to take the game in new directions, namely by making the protagonist a newly recruited Rescue Corps member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, there is the appearance of an Alph-like character, showing up very late on in Pikmin 4. He’s alongside characters who also bear a striking resemblance to Britanny and Charlie, also from Pikmin 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won’t delve any deeper to avoid late-game spoilers, but you’re sure to notice the three doppelg\u00e4ngers when you stumble across them in the game. Depending on your playthrough time,<\/a> you’ll probably be 10 or 15 hours into the game, so don’t expect them to show up immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
