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.

*Raw material crash: Sometimes, for unknown reasons, when [[Oatchi]] spits a [[raw material]], the game will crash.
*[[Glitches in Pikmin 4#Pikmin duplication (Candypop Bud)|Purple Pikmin duplication]]: By throwing Purple Pikmin into a Purple Candypop bud multiple times, more Purple Pikmin will appear. If done enough times, the game will crash.
*Final boss crash: If the player has more than 100 [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] when the [[Ancient Sirehound|final boss]] is defeated, the game will crash.
*Raw material crash: sometimes, for unknown reasons, when [[Oatchi]] spits a [[raw material]], the game will crash.

In {{p2}} for the [[GameCube]], if the game crashes, the player might be able to input a development button combination in order to get a crash handler screen to pop up.{{cite youtube|cPqyk5PyL-E|of the crash handler in action}} The code should be pressed one button at a time, and with ample time between each button press:

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}}}}

In {{npcp2}}, the crash handler itself still exists, but cannot be accessed without disabling the check for the inputs.
