[[File:Pikmin 2 dot bug.gif|thumb|right|The dot on the top-left corner of a question box's screen, using Dolphin's free camera mode.]]
*In ''Pikmin 2'', whenever a question dialog box opens, like the one asking the player if they are sure they wish to go to the next sublevel, a dot appears on the top-left corner of the screen for a split second. Only the bottom-right corner of the dot is visible during normal gameplay.
