In computing, a '''crash''', sometimes also referred to as a '''freeze''', happens when a piece of software stops working properly and can not continue running. This is usually because the code has tried to do something impossible, like trying to divide by zero, or read from an invalid memory position. Ideally, most software will be programmed in such a way that the final user can almost never cause the program to do something illegal, but some [[glitches]] or exploits can allow the user to do so. Games in the {{ps}} also have a few glitches, exploits, and hacks that allow the player to crash the game. | In computing, a '''crash''', sometimes also referred to as a '''freeze''', happens when a piece of software stops working properly and can not continue running.

* Violet Candypop Bud softlock: It is possible to pluck a [[Purple Pikmin]] and immediately pause and escape Emergence Cave, which skips unlocking Purple Pikmin, but lets the player keep the plucked Pikmin.

This is because they have a [[Candypop family#Maximum Pikmin requirement|maximum Pikmin requirement]]. These 20 Purple Pikmin also happen to be stuck inside the ship. Therefore, the player has no way of obtaining Purple Pikmin anymore, so the [[Spherical Atlas]] becomes unobtainable, which means that [[Awakening Wood]] can never be visited.{{cite youtube|3_fxk9yRY30|of the Violet Candypop Bud softlock}} | ||

The Interactive Multi Game Demo Disc Version 17 has a ''Pikmin 2'' demo with an intact code map file. This means that if the player crashes the game there, the crash handler will be able to accurately show what points of the code the game was running when the crash happened. Because of the state of the system and how large the map file is, converting the memory locations can take several seconds.{{cite youtube|31B3vF6wkdk|of the crash handler in the Interactive Multi Game Demo Disc Version 17|published={{date|7|August|2018}}|retrieved={{date|14|December|2018}}}} | The Interactive Multi Game Demo Disc Version 17 has a ''Pikmin 2'' demo with an intact code map file.
