== Main ==
=== Leader jump glitch ===
{{ glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Helpful | youtube = nsAqAx0azvY
| effects = Makes the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] jump on top of a short wall.
| prerequisites = Be able to ride Oatchi.
| howto = Position Oatchi on the opposite side of a short wall and leave him idling there. Position the leader on the opposite side of the wall. When the prompt to ride Oatchi appears, press the button. The leader should perform a jump in Oatchi's direction to get on him, but if the wall is low enough they will jump on top of the wall instead.

== Pikmin-related ==
=== Winged Pikmin crystal nodule glitch ===
{{ glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmful | other = [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1019254725297844384/1132612023029604423/SPOILER_2023072302471800-3B2F3272A827E4B76CEFE30977C1DBCC.mov Discord video]
| effects = Makes [[Winged Pikmin]] fly off without stopping. Also randomly makes a crystal nodule break for no reason.
| howto = [[Throw]] or [[charge]] a few Winged Pikmin at a [[crystal nodule]]. If you use too many, the crystal might break by itself. Some of the Pikmin will hover above the obstacle, and some will fly off in whatever direction they were moving at a random moment. When the crystal breaks, those Pikmin will return to being idle like normal, but they may be too far [[out of bounds]] to be easily accessed.

=== Purple Pikmin duplication glitch ===
{{ glitch | reproducibility = Medium| consequences = Helpful | other = [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/301856447279398913/1134730836839768075/IMG_1810.mov Discord video]
| effects = Allows you to clone [[Purple Pikmin]], as well as go over the 100 Pikmin limit.
| prerequisites = Have unlocked Purple Pikmin, and any cave that has purple [[Candypop Bud]]s in it.
| howto = Find a cave with purple Candypop Buds in it (Easiest to do in [[Engulfed Castle]], but make sure you have some Blue Pikmin in order to make the Candypop Buds spawn.), then start throwing your Purple Pikmin into it. If the number of Pikmin on the field increases, that means Purple Pikmin have been successfuly cloned.
| notes = This glitch is more consistent if you have more Purple Pikmin. Only 120 Pikmin will follow you/hop on Oatchi at a time.

== Aesthetic ==
=== Small object spit out ===
{{ glitch | reproducibility = Low | consequences = Harmless | other = [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/301856447279398913/1132540058415665223/F1smKzbacAAzhHu.png Discord image]
| effects = Makes an object appear smaller than normal.
| prerequisites = Have [[Oatchi]] learn swallow.
| howto = Let Oatchi carry an object, like an enemy corpse, and then get hit by an [[Arctic Cannon Beetle]]'s snowball just as he's spitting it out. The animation will be interrupted and the object will stay at a small size.

== Minor ==
=== Aesthetic ===
* By going to the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]], selecting an enemy that is active at night, leaving the Piklopedia, then going to the [[Treasure Catalog]], the treasures will be displayed at night. Pressing {{button|switch|y}} to toggle to day will reload the scene and show night still. Pressing again will change to day as expected, however.
* If the player highlights any treasure of the [[Ultra-Hyper-Technology Series]] in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]] and swaps to the page that shows where it was first seen and what series it belongs to, the series name is large enough to overlap with the "Series:" label.
