| howto = Get some [[Maturity|leaf or bud]] Pikmin and spray them with ultra-spicy spray. Then, issue them onto the object you want to carry. It doesn't matter if they are holding on without moving, or if they are carrying it away. When the spray wears off, whistle the Pikmin back. The object will be "charged" with some extra speed value, making it get carried faster than normal. This can be repeated any number of times to increase the speed value more and more.

| notes = When an object is being carried quickly enough, it can go up walls. An object that is "charged" a lot and is being carried by Pikmin stuck moving in a circle can have a massive jolt in a random direction when a carrier is added or removed. By repeatedly "charging" the [[Decorative Goo]] from inside the [[Blue Pikmin]]'s den and manipulating these jolts, it is possible to have the object be carried over the gate. Since the speed value comes from a Pikmin changing its speed bonus mid-carry, a "charge" can also be obtained by having a [[Withering Blowhog]] attack flower carrier Pikmin (even if non-Purple Pikmin let go right after), or by having a leaf Pikmin carry something and get powered up by the flower power in [[2-Player Battle]]. The latter will decrease the speed as opposed to increase it.

| howto = When an enemy is defeated and falls to the ground, there is a chance that a nearby Pikmin will mysteriously vanish without leaving a [[soul]] or making a sound. There are several enemies that have this happen more frequently than others, and it also happens with more regularity when [[swarm]]ing enemies rather than [[throw]]ing Pikmin at them. It can also happen with [[pellet]]s and [[treasure]]s.

===Double sprays===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | danger = Helpful | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | image = Double spray glitch.jpg | image-align = left
| effects = Duplicates the amount of sprays gained by absorbing a [[spray drop]].
| prerequisites = Have [[spray]]s unlocked.
| howto = Find a droplet of spray, the color is irrelevant for the glitch. [[Dismiss]] all your Pikmin. Now you have to make it so that the leader you're not controlling starts absorbing the spray, and you absorb it as well before it's fully gone. The easiest way is to place one of your leaders close to the spray drop, then switch to the other leader and place him on the other side of the drop, so that both leaders and the drop are aligned. Call the idle leader, and just as he crosses the drop, dismiss. That leader should start absorbing, and before he finishes, touch the spray with your current leader. Alternate methods include pushing the idle leader into the drop, or running towards the drop at full speed with one leader, and just before he touches it, switch leaders; the momentum of the run should make him touch it.
| notes = It is not possible to perform this glitch if the other leader is in your party, so dismissing is necessary.
| explanation = The game is programmed to ignore all input from a leader that's absorbing a spray. That's why it's not normally possible to switch to another leader while absorbing. However, if a leader touches a drop without being the current leader, he'll still absorb it (but only if he's not on the other leader's group). The game increases the number of sprays whenever a leader finishes his absorbing animation. So if both leaders do it, the game increases it two times.

===Instant bridge===
===Instant bridge===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Helpful | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | demonstration = [http://speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?Pikmin2_BestEnding_310 13:10 of part 3 of the current Speed Demos Archive speedrun, by Charles Griffin]
{{todo|Get more info on this and place it on the [[bridge]] article, since it's not a glitch.}}
| effects = Makes a bridge's 2<sup>nd</sup>+ sections be constructed instantly.
{{glitch | reproducibility = Medium | danger = Helpful | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | demonstration = [http://speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?Pikmin2_BestEnding_310 13:10 of part 3 of the current Speed Demos Archive speedrun, by Charles Griffin]
| prerequisites = You should not have visited this area before.
| effects = Makes a bridge's 2nd+ sections be constructed instantly.
| howto = Simply enter a cave and get out, or end the day and come back to the area on a later day. When you then issue Pikmin to work on the bridge, the current stage the bridge is in will be worked on as normal, but all other stages will be built instantly.
| prerequisites = You should have visited this area before.
| explanation = When the area is exited, the game [[Saved game|saves]] some information about it, including the current stage of each bridge. When the area is entered again, it loads the saved data, and changes the bridge to match the saved stage. However, it gives that stage's health a value of 3000 and all other stages are left with 0 health. Even at 0 health, the game only updates the stage of the bridge once Pikmin attack it during that stage.
| howto = Start by making some Pikmin build the first section of the bridge. Then call all Pikmin to stop them from working on the bridge. Finally, proceed to issue them to work on the bridge again.
}}
| notes = When you're on an area for the first time, bridges are constructed like normal, no matter what. However, if you're coming back to the area, be it because you ended the day and came back or because you came out from a [[cave]], it's possible to have the bridge unfurl quickly.
 
| explanation = While a definitive explanation has not been found, certain people who mod ''Pikmin 2'' have theorized that this glitch is a result of the game not caching the bridge's health correctly.
===Napsack warp===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Depends | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes
| effects = Makes a leader warp to the nearest carrying path waypoint.
| prerequisites = Have the [[Upgrade#Napsack|Napsack]], and have a way to fall underneath the map such as by going [[out of bounds]] with a [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Seesaw block clip|seesaw block clip]].
| howto = Fall underneath the map and [[lie down]] while falling. If done correctly, this will warp you to the nearest carrying path waypoint.
| normal = When falling out of bounds, the intended behavior is that you will be warped to the default failsafe location, which is always near the ship. This will also happen if the leader touches the pit without lying down.
| explanation = When a leader has used the Napsack, they are treated as if they are a treasure for certain interactions. There's another invisible plane underneath every level that warps treasures back in-bounds in case they fall into the void, and triggering this interaction on a leader is what causes this glitch.
| notes = There's an invisible plane underneath every level that kills any enemies or Pikmin that fall into the [[pit]]. Due to the erratic nature of how a leader falls when lying down, it is possible that the leader will touch this plane instead of just the plane that relocates treasures. If this happens, the leader will become [[#Frozen leader glitch|frozen]]. This happens deterministically depending on the fall speed and exact position of your leader when the respective planes are touched, but given the precision involved it's generally regarded as impossible to avoid this happening with 100% consistency. Roughly 20% of the time this will occur when performing Napsack Warps regardless of location.

===Seesaw block clip===
===Seesaw block glitch===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Helpful | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | demonstration = [http://speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?Pikmin2_BestEnding_310 2:20 and 5:25 of part 7 of the current Speed Demos Archive speedrun, by Charles Griffin]

| effects = Allows a leader to clip inside a [[seesaw block]], after which they can go [[out of bounds]].
| effects = Makes a leader able to go out of bounds, and teleport into a helpful spot, allowing shortcuts.
| prerequisites = Have an available [[cutscene]] that can be triggered, for example a treasure collection cutscene or a Pikmin hazard introduction cutscene.
| prerequisites = Have uncollected treasure.
| howto = Place a leader on a lowered seesaw block. Then throw some Pikmin onto the other block and trigger a cutscene while the blocks are still moving. After the cutscene is over, the leader that was standing on the block will be inside of it. You can also clip into the seesaw blocks in [[Perplexing Pool]] near [[Glutton's Kitchen]] without the use of a cutscene by [[lying down]] on top of the southern block of the pair, while against its southern edge, while it is raised.{{cite youtube|NYcSyL-DpP0|of a player clipping through the seesaw block by lying down on its edge|h=1|m=49|s=40}} This is the only known location where you can clip inside a seesaw block this way.
| howto = Send Pikmin to carry a treasure to the ship. While they're going, head for a [[seesaw block]]. The timing is very hard, but you have to try to make it so that the seesaw block your leader is on raises at the same time the treasure collection cutscene begins. After the cutscene is over, you will be inside the block. You can now go out of bounds or fall through the terrain, at which point you'll respawn somewhere near the ship.
| notes = You must let the cutscene play out for about one second &ndash; if you skip the cutscene immediately, the clip won't work. This glitch can be used to get out of bounds in nearly every location where a seesaw block is present. When used in combination with a [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Napsack warp|Napsack warp]] you can reach unintended locations such as the Blue Onion area before breaking the electric gate blocking it.
| notes = This trick can be used on the [[Perplexing Pool]] to go out of bounds and access the Shower Room without taking down the [[electric gate]]s, and on the [[Awakening Wood]] to obtain [[Blue Pikmin]] early.
| explanation = During most cutscenes, leaders and non-treasure-related Pikmin are frozen in place so disasters can't happen while the player is unable to take action. Some objects continue to move though, such as the seesaw blocks. Because the leader's position doesn't move while the block does, it engulfs the leader and places them inside it after the cutscene is finished.
| explanation = During the treasure collection cutscene, leaders and non-treasure-related Pikmin are frozen in place (enemies are not). This is to prevent disasters from happening while the player is unable to take action. Some objects continue to move though, such as the seesaw blocks. Because the leader's position doesn't move, but the block does, it engulfs the leader, and when the player takes control, they can fall out of bounds, as there are no walls in the small area in which the leader was left in. Leaders who fall out of bounds respawn in hardcoded places, specifically added for the scenario of a leader somehow falling off. Maybe the places weren't assigned with much attention, or maybe they made sense in earlier versions of the maps, as it's unlikely that Nintendo would want the default respawn places to be set up in such a way that players can easily take shortcuts.

However, when you complete the cave, you'll notice that their deaths were accounted for in the number of total deaths. If you do it several times throughout the sublevels, you can even have over 100 deaths in a single cave run.

| notes = This glitched number of deaths in the cave will also add to your Pikmin death [[Saved game|save file]] total. It's also possible for a Pikmin to catch on fire during the cutscene, if there's a geyser nearby. But this will neither kill the Pikmin or change the death count.

| explanation = The game counts a death when a Pikmin makes its last cry, even though the creature's object still exists on the map. Normally, it's impossible to save it when it's doing its last cry, though. But when entering a hole or a geyser, the game forces all Pikmin objects to jump in, regardless of their state. When loading the next sublevel, the game creates new Pikmin objects, basing itself on the previous objects' maturity, color, etc., but not their state (choking/burning).

| explanation = In caves, when the player enters the next sublevel, all living Pikmin that are not buried in the ground are automatically teleported to the leader. And, because Pikmin do not die instantly after they are crushed, there is a small window where the game considers them alive, which can be used to keep them alive in the cutscene. And because the cutscene doesn't expect the Pikmin to be different from normal, it doesn't fix the fact that they are squashed, thus, making them appear flat in the cutscene.

An identical effect can be achieved by using Purple Pikmin to stun an enemy, most commonly an airborne one such as a [[Swooping Snitchbug]], on top of a [[gate]] and then working on destroying it; the enemy will remain at the same altitude at which it was stunned at despite the gate's top moving down.

If, however, the falling enemy is spot-on on the grounded enemy's center, it will have no direction to slide into, so it takes the collision as landing on solid ground.

| notes =<br>
** The creature's animation for waking up after reviving may be skipped altogether.
** For Spotty Bulbears, this effect mostly affects the speed in which they get up and turn, since their animation speed is set to something else when they start walking.
** For Gatling Groinks, this affects almost everything they do, which can include the interval between fired shots and the speed they wobble at when carried.
** Also for Gatling Groinks, the ones that are stationary and the ones that roam around freely belong to different enemy "types", meaning they can't be used interchangeably.
** This glitch will only work if the carcass that gets recovered is of an enemy that is spawned earlier than the enemy that revived, which is something decided when the sublevel loads, meaning it cannot be determined by the player unless external tools are used.
** When three enemies are involved, if the carcass of the first-spawned enemy is recovered and the other two are reviving, what happens depends on which of the two finish reviving first. If the third-spawned revives first, it will be sped up while the other will not. If the second-spawned revives first, then both will be sped up.

===Sped up spawned enemies===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Depends | p2 = Yes | youtube = ciY7fbGqvbY
| effects = Makes it so a [[Mitite]] or [[Unmarked Spectralids]]'s animations are sped up. This also makes them die quicker.
| prereq = Be in an area or sublevel where you can spawn multiple of the enemy at will. For Mitites, there should be enough [[egg]]s to spawn one group and then spawn another (or for one group to be buried in the ground), and for Unmarked Spectralids there should be enough [[vegetation]] that spawns them when bumped against such as the [[Margaret]] and [[Figwort]] near the base of [[Awakening Wood]].
| howto = Collect carcasses of the enemies in question. Then, spawn some more of that enemy, and some of them will be sped up. For every one carcass you collect, the number of enemies that will be sped up increases by one, and decreases whenever a sped up enemy spawns.
| notes =<br>
** For Mitites that spawn from the ground, one of the Mitites will always be at normal speed.
** A [[#Sped up reviving enemies|similar glitch]] also affects Spotty Bulbears and Gatling Groinks.
| explanation = In memory, there is a list with data about all of the Mitites that can be loaded at once and another for all the Spectralids. When the area or sublevel is loaded, the data on this list is cleared. Whenever a new enemy needs to spawn, it occupies one slot of this list and initializes its data. When that enemy is defeated and its carcass is being beamed up by the Onion, its animation speeds up, which is controlled by one variable in that enemy's slot in memory. Once the enemy is completely absorbed by the Onion, its object vanishes from the game world, and its slot in memory is marked as vacant. When a new enemy is spawned, it takes up the first available slot in memory and initializes some data. The problem comes from the fact that the data that gets initialized does not include the variable that controls the animation speed, and so it just uses whatever was left behind in memory at that point. The reason buried Mitites always have one enemy that is not sped up is because when the area loads, the Mitite responsible for the group is already created and exists as an object in the game world, meaning it uses the regular cleared data in the list.

| effects = When entering the first sublevel of a cave in ''Pikmin 2'', the game may or may not switch the player's active leader.  
When entering the first sublevel of a cave, the game may or may not switch the player's active leader. It depends on the last leader the player used to jump to a non-first sublevel.
| prerequisites = None
| howto = Enter the last sublevel in a cave, and then enter the first sublevel of a different cave with a different leader.
| notes = This does not happen when the player goes from one sublevel to the next. [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] uses a different behavior, without a glitch, and that the default value of the variable is 0, meaning that at the start of the game, before the player goes from one sublevel to the next, the game will make Olimar the active leader when entering a cave.
| explanation = In order to decide what leader to turn active whenever a sublevel is entered (be it the first or not), the game reads a variable in memory. This variable is also saved onto the [[Saved game|save game data]] and loaded from it. It is set whenever the player goes from one sublevel to the next, which explains why, when the next sublevel is loaded, the game selects the correct leader. However, this variable never gets set when the cave itself is entered. This means that when the first sublevel is finished loading, the game reads the variable, and uses an outdated value, last updated when a sublevel hole was entered.

When you throw the last one, call the Pikmin to either leader's side just as the Pikmin lands on the bag. Until you get the exact timing, it's better to whistle too early rather than too late, because if you whistle too late, the cutscene will start and you'll have to restart the save file to try again, whereas whistling too early makes the Pikmin come to you, and you can try again right away. If you timed it right, there's a chance the Pikmin will move out of the bag, and the latter will stay in place, but the reunion cutscene will still occur. Olimar and Louie will pass through the bag, and it'll be stuck in this state until the day ends.

| explanation = Just like the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Cardboard box cutscene softlock|cardboard box softlock glitch in ''Pikmin'']], if the Pikmin are brought back into the party just as the cutscene starts, there will be no Pikmin to actually perform the actions required by the cutscene, in this case, deflating the bag. Because it was never assumed that this could or would happen, the game is programmed to move Olimar and Louie to the place where the squashed bag was, regardless of its state.

| explanation = In order to save the GPU load, the game stops rendering geometry after a certain distance. This distance is quite small at the closest zoom level. In-game, it's large enough so that the geometry doesn't cut off on-[[camera]], but on that hill, the entrance to the cave is far enough away that the cut-off can actually be caught by the player. The camera's angle also takes a roll in this, in that normally, the 3/4 angle does not allow the player to see substantially far ahead to begin with.

From there, simply face towards the area with the [[Massage Girdle]] and the [[Submerged Castle]] and zoom out the camera to its farthest option while facing it forward. The aforementioned area with the Massage Girdle should be unloaded.

You should hold the button one and a half seconds after the shadow of the boulder appears. If you get hurt, that means you have to press it sooner. If you just [[lie down]], that means you pressed it too soon. For reference, check the timings on the notes.

This results in a window of {{frames|6}} frames. If you make the leader wake up, he will lose all of his momentum and fall to the ground, without you being able to control his descent.

Alternately, it has to do with how the leader should've been knocked back, but the Napsack partially stops that, and blocks all damage, again, causing confusion in the physics engine.

Then you must time a hold of {{button|gc|x|wii|c}} such that the leader is in the middle of the lying down animation when he touches the pit. This is a bit random as explained [[#Napsack warp|here]], but if you are successful, the leader will come back but without an antenna light, and the only action you can do is leave lying down mode. This will make him stand in place with his head held low, and stuck forever. If, before touching the pit, you swap to the other leader, then you will be unable to switch back, and the frozen leader will either vanish, or be able to be carried, but frozen after being delivered. A different thing can happen if the leader touches the pit whilst carried by a Dweevil. He can be teleported to the Research Pod and become invisible, except for his antenna's light. In this state, he can be returned to normal by performing any action while controlling him, or by whistling him with another leader. If a leader is on top of the Research Pod and the other leader performs other actions (like throwing Pikmin), the first leader will eventually appear on the ground somewhere, on the same semi-frozen state with no antenna light described above.
| howto = First, you must get a leader ready to fall into the [[pit]]. This can be achieved with a number of ways:

| effects = Makes an absorbed [[spray]] drop increase the amount of sprays of the opposite type instead.

| prerequisites = Have a spray drop ready to absorb, and a way to generate nectar drops or spray drops.
| prerequisites = Have an undefeated enemy and an [[ultra-spicy spray]] drop in the same area or sublevel.
| howto = You need to make a nectar drop or spray drop appear just as a leader finishes drinking a spray drop that is already on the floor. The new drop should appear right as the spray drop absorption is ending (i.e. just before the numbers on the [[HUD]] begin to change). The spray counter that will increase depends on the drop that has just appeared: you will receive one dosage of the spray type that just spawned, or if it's nectar, you'll get one dosage of ultra-bitter spray. One way to do this is to make the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] on the pot at the [[Awakening Wood]] release a spray drop, then petrify a nearby enemy, and issue some Pikmin to attack it. When the creature is almost defeated, go collect the spray drop, but time it so that the enemy explodes just as the drop is done being absorbed. You can also time it to the destruction of an [[egg]], the burst of a [[Honeywisp]]'s sac, the release of an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]'s spoils, etc.
| howto = This mostly happens accidentally, but it is possible to purposely trigger the glitch by following these steps: when you have an ultra-spicy spray drop ready to be absorbed, petrify a nearby enemy, and issue some Pikmin to attack it. When the creature is almost defeated, go collect the spray drop, but time it so that the enemy explodes just as the absorption is ending (i.e. just before the numbers on the [[HUD]] begin to change). One of the easiest ways to do this is to make the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] on the pot at the [[Awakening Wood]] release a spray drop, then use one of the nearby enemies. The window for the glitch is not very strict ({{frames|7}} [[frame]]s), but timing the absorption with the defeat of the creature may prove difficult.
| notes = The window for this glitch is not very strict (seemingly {{frames|7}} [[frame]]s). With this, it is possible to obtain ultra-bitter sprays without having harvested any berries of that type. This glitch can also happen if the absorption is interrupted by the cutscene shown when the player collects 10 bitter berries.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/IgnorantYawningGorillaBCouch-1mz8UzLGm92Rz0gI|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|16|January|2023}}|retrieved={{date|17|January|2023}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/SuspiciousViscousEggPoooound-AgQBFL87Gx0XzBiT|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|28|February|2023}}|retrieved={{date|3|March|2023}}}}
| notes = If using the aforementioned method, the enemy you petrify and the spray drop can be at any distance from one another. If an ultra-bitter spray is absorbed instead, nothing special happens. This glitch also occurs if an egg breaks and reveals a [[nectar]] drop at about the same time a leader finishes drinking an ultra-spicy spray drop. In general, it seems like this glitch happens when nectar is revealed at about the same time as one obtains a spicy spray.
