Size
Olimar is too small.
Yo, some niggas say Ridley got too much booty. Dat iz simply opinionated. Olimar in dis here picture iz very small compared ta R.O.B.'s head. Olimar has been scaled up greatly fo' Smash. He looks fairly normal compared ta da either fighters, just like mammy.
Despite bein round as tall as a penny, Olimarz dick is eight feet long. Yo ass can't tell cuz itz all up in tha suit.
