* Stuck with less than 15 Pikmin on day 1: It is possible for Olimar to throw some of his Pikmin out of bounds on day 1 on the GameCube version{{cite youtube|rname=d1e}}. If he throws at least 2 Pikmin out of bounds after Louie approaches the [[Red Onion]], but before the paper bag is crushed, then both leaders can never be reunited{{cite youtube|JXfy2HPb97M|of a player stuck with less than 15 Pikmin on day 1}}. It is also possible that the last pellet given to the Red Onion will not produce seeds if a cutscene is played at a particular time{{cite youtube|jlUZTu7jkOE|of the Red Onion not producing seeds on day 1}}. Either way, the player is unable to end day 1, since the Pikmin on Louie's side cannot die.

* Stuck beyond the paper bag on day 1: By utilizing the [[swarming]] technique, it is possible for the player to put a flowered Red Pikmin beyond the 35-weight paper bag on day 1{{cite youtube|OmR-JbgrjMM|of a Red Pikmin beyond the paper bag on day 1}}. Then, if the player throws the other Pikmin out of bounds{{cite youtube|rname=d1e}}, which is only possible on the GameCube version, then the flowered red will be permanently stuck, and the player will be unable to end day 1.{{cite youtube|JXfy2HPb97M|of a Red Pikmin stuck beyond the paper bag on day 1}}

There is also a minor softlock, the [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Spray nectar softlock|spray nectar softlock]], but this can be solved by having an enemy attack the leaders, or by having the day end, either with the natural time progression, or by using the pause menu.
