| howto = So far, there is no known way to trigger the glitch on purpose. It seems to happen most often when Pikmin die in unconventional ways, especially by being killed by the [[Smoky Progg]]'s smoke trail. It also happens with some frequency with deaths caused by [[The Forest Navel]]'s [[Pit|abysses]], killing a [[Wollywog]], and when several Pikmin die at once. Furthermore, it can also be related to some bridge glitches. Lastly, the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] can also sometimes trigger this.

| howto = When battling an enemy, there is a chance that some Pikmin will mysteriously vanish without leaving a [[soul]] or making a sound. There are several enemies where this happens, but the most common are [[Wollywog]]s, [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]s, and the Puffstool, which can kill up to 30 Pikmin when its cap falls on top of them. It also happens with more regularity when [[swarm]]ing enemies rather than [[throw]]ing Pikmin at them, and it is more likely to happen the more Pikmin are used. It can also happen after combat, when the enemy is falling, with [[pellet]]s, and with [[gate]]s as they lower. This glitch can severely alter the course of gameplay, so extreme caution is advised.

| explanation = During combat, Pikmin get pushed around by the enemy and its hitboxes in various directions. At times, some Pikmin might be pushed downward and outwards, but there is more force driving them downwards than forwards (for instance, if other Pikmin are keeping them from sliding off). If the force is too great, the Pikmin is pushed through the ground, where it falls and dies.

This can be repeated for as many times necessary. The Pikmin will still drown eventually if they are not called to shore or if the glitch is unrepeated.

| howto = Lure a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]] or [[Spotty Bulbear]] into a place where you can get on a platform that's roughly its height, and have it stay on ground lower than you; the erratic height platforms near [[The Distant Spring]]'s landing site work well here. Get close to it so that it'll lunge forward. When it misses, quickly climb on its back. You can influence which way the creature should go by standing on its edge, in that direction. It will attempt to bite you several times by lunging forward; try to avoid falling off. With practice, you can lure it towards other ledges that are its height, but lead to places out of bounds. This glitch is still possible in the Switch version, but is more precise and difficult to pull off.

| explanation = Bulborbs and Bulbears have tall hitboxes, of course. The top of these hitboxes makes for something like solid ground, and there's no problem in this, seeing as Olimar is never meant to go on top of them. It's still possible to ride on them by going to certain ledges. The fact that a Bulborb's eating lunge throws them very far forward, even partially through the walls, allows Olimar passage to their tops.

| explanation = The corner the bridge makes with the ground is just too sharp, making collision detection with the floor harder to do correctly. The bridge keeps pushing Pikmin down as they walk towards the angle, and because the floor's hitbox is just a plane, not a bulky prism, it gives in to letting Pikmin go through it more easily than the bridge does.

===Breadbug cutscene glitch===

| effects = If a [[Breadbug]] is fighting for an object with Pikmin and a cutscene plays, the object will continue to move the direction it was going at the start of the cutscene. Once the cutscene is over, the Breadbug will have dropped the object, and said object will have moved a varying distance away. Interestingly, it seems when the cutscene is for a ship part, both the Pikmin and Breadbug will stop moving, whilst the object continues. If the cutscene is for the Blue Onion discovery, then the Pikmin stop, and both the Breadbug and object continue to move together. It also seems that the object continues to be carried by "phantom Pikmin" after the Onion discovery, and will attempt to follow the nearest waypoint until the Breadbug burrows. If no Pikmin are fighting for the object with the Breadbug, then the Breadbug and object will stop during the cutscene and not move.
| howto = Before discovering the Blue [[Onion]] or collecting a [[Ship part]], have the Breadbug grab onto an object and then have your Pikmin also grab the object. While the Pikmin are dragging the Breadbug, activate a cutscene by either triggering the Blue Onion discovery, or by collecting a ship part. After the cutscene, the object will have moved some distance away and the Breadbug and Pikmin will have let go of the object.
| notes = This can mess up the execution of bringing the Breadbug to the landing site to kill it, as if this glitch occurs, the Pikmin will stop dragging the Breadbug along with them.
| explanation = This likely occurs because the cutscene puts the game into a state where the enemies cannot affect the Pikmin. The Pikmin continue to carry an object during a cutscene, but they are still fighting with the Breadbug, and the Breadbug is set to not affect the object they are carrying, so the Breadbug lets go, the Pikmin  stay in place, and the object keeps its momentum.

| In {{npcp1}} exclusively, on [[The Forest Navel]], in the corridor leading up to the [[Blue Onion]], if the player aims the cursor near the area of the [[Fiery Blowhog]] in the [[Libra]]'s path, there are some spots where the throwing cursor will disappear, and only the Wii Remote's cursor will show up. If the player hugs the western wall and throws Pikmin when the cursor is in this state, the Pikmin will be thrown with a lot of force at the wall, and will bounce back up and be flung off high in the air in random directions. || || || || {{cite youtube|9MphqJsUK8k|of thrown Pikmin being flung off high in the air in The Forest Navel}}

| If a [[reinforced wall]] is opened right as the day is ending, such that the jingle plays, but the gate only lowered one level before the sunset cutscene, the gate might become corrupted. The next day, it can start with the last third remaining, but upon being blown up, the game will instantly place it at the second level, play the task completion jingle, and then lower the gate by one, meaning it will still remain with the last third left. After this, the gate cannot be interacted with, but it can still block the way. || || || || {{cite web|https://www.twitch.tv/videos/284327430|Video clip|Twitch|published={{date|13|July|2018}}|retrieved={{date|14|July|2018}}}}{{cite youtube|39ijjf-3nh8|of a reinforced wall becoming indestructible in the Wii version}}
