In {{p2}}, there are several ways for one to go out of bounds. The effect of these exploits varies by location.

One method of getting out of bounds uses the [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Boulder jump|boulder jump glitch]]. When a leader [[lie down|lies down]], they make a small bounce. If they collide with an [[Armored Cannon Larva]] or [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]] rock, or a falling [[boulder]], then they will bounce high in the air, and potentially land out of bounds.

Another method involves going near a sloped wall that one wants to go out of bounds on, and making the leader lie down. A Pikmin will automatically pick the leader up, and with some walls, and some Pikmin types, the Pikmin will [[carry]] him up the wall.

A leader can also clip into the ground using the [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Seesaw glitch|seesaw glitch]], and end up appearing out of bounds.

 

In garden-type sublevels of caves, [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Leave boundaries|a glitch]] can be used to get over the boundary wall.

In ''Pikmin 3'', going out of bounds is often done by throwing a leader in a certain location, such as on top of a [[dirt mound]], or by wedging on the side of certain edges, as in the [[Yellow Onion]] cave in [[Distant Tundra]]. Another way is to use a technique that makes use of wedging into a corner, getting a leader into the scenery, and whistling and dismissing. The final way is by the [[dodging]], by using it to get from an elevated place to out of bounds. An example of this would be on the ice slide in [[Distant Tundra]].

;[[Tropical Wilds]]

* '''Sandbelching Meerslug arena:''' It is possible to get out of bounds in the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]] arena. First, wait for the boss to surface, but make sure it does so near the edge of the arena. Then, climb onto the mound it makes and throw a leader to the sand outside of the arena.

*'''Pathway to Brittany:''' On the pathway to the Rock Onion [[Brittany]] must go up the slope with the [[Sunseed Berry]] next to it and face the location of the Red Bulborb. The player should see a rock, and then throw a leader on top of it. This will allow the player to get out of bounds.

*'''Brittany’s crash site:''' Go to the bucket where Brittany is found and simply throw a leader towards the landing site.

*'''Bug-Eyed Crawmad cave entrance:''' In the northern corridor to the cave with [[Seesaw block#Elevator platform|elevator platforms]] and a [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]], there is a way to get to the high grounds. To do this, you need to bring at least two leaders to the top of the slope leading to the entrance. You can then throw a leader on top of the southern wall of the path. You can breifly roam around here, but there is a wooden fence blocking you. If you get two leaders up there, you can throw one on top of the [[electric gate]], and then walk around the fence and proceed forward, up to the tall flower pot with the 5 [[Pellet Posy]].

* '''Bug-Eyed Crawmad cave:''' In the area mentioned before with a Bug-Eyed Crawmad, there are some ways to get to the higher stone surrounding it. One way is by bringing at least two leaders close to the northern cave entrance, before the ramp starts. From here you can throw a leader to the southern wall. Another way you can go out of bounds is by standing at the corner of the gap with the northern elevator platform. If you throw a leader at the wall from this point, they can land on top of the wall. This allows you to move freely across the borders of the cave. If you throw two leaders up there, you can even end up on the cinder-block separating the platforms, by throwing a leader there.

* '''Near the Lesser Mock Bottom:''' In the small area where a [[Lesser Mock Bottom]] can be found attached to a [[Flukeweed]]. Normally, only one leader can be there at a time, as two are needed to go on the China pot, and another to actually get there. However, if a leader continously walks towards a wedge in the wall, they will eventually move up the slope and arrive there. This can allow up to three leaders to be in the section at once. If another leader is thrown, they can end up into higher ground that is normally inaccessible. The player can then roam around the rim of much of the southern half of the area. After moving around a fence near the entrance to the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] arena, an invisible wall will block any leaders from venturing forward. By walking into it, they can eventually clip through a nearby [[cinder block]]. The player can then fall onto the entrance to the arena, but strangely another invisible wall will block the players path.{{cite youtube|DzO-pe26v8E|with several out-of-bounds methods|rname=vid1}}

* '''Quaggled Mireclops arena entrance:''' By preforming the out of bounds glitch near the Lesser Mock Bottom stated before, the player can take advantage of the invisible wall and end up to the high ground surrounding the path. The player must continuously wege themself where the invisible wall touches the side of the path. They will slowly move upward, and then can end up out of bounds. The player can barely moved anywhere from here though, because they are blocked by more invisible walls.{{cite youtube|rname=vid1}}

* '''Quaggled Mireclops arena:''' There is a way that the player can go out of bounds in the arena where the Quaggled Mireclops fight takes place. The player must be in  the part of the arena farthest away from the entrance, and near the damaged [[hocotate ship]]. There is a slight divot in the wall, just low enough so a leader can be thrown on it, allowing them to explore the outer rim of the arena. They can venture even higher by throwing up another leader.{{cite youtube|rname=vid1}}

* '''Yellow Pikmin cave:''' In the cave where you discover the Yellow Onion in Distant Tundra, there are multiple ways you can glitch on top of the walls of the cave. The first way you can do this by making a leader hold a Pikmin or other leader as if they are about to throw it. You then have to force them into the wedge next to the [[iron ball]]. If done properly, the leader will be able to walk around the slide, and onto the sides of the cave. This allows access to the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] arena, which you normally can't get to without 3 leaders. The second way you can do this, is by throwing another leader onto the edge of the slide. If done with great precision they will not slip down the slide, and can walk out of bounds. The third way you can do this is by throwing a leader onto the can where you find a yellow 5 [[pellet]]. You have to stand on the slope leading to the Onion, and throw a leader onto the can. ''Warning: If the player fights the Shaggy  Long Legs and has less than 20 Pikmin afterwards, the iron ball cannot be pushed, causing the player to not be able to progress in further in the game.

* '''Above the branch at the end of the river:''' At the dead end branch at the end of the river carrying [[lily pad]]s, there is a way to go out of bounds. To do this you need three leaders. First you have to throw a leader on top of the bricks, and walk to the middle of the branch. There is a slightly higher part facing the river. From there, you can throw a leader up to the walls of the area, where you normally can't go.

;[[Formidable Oak]]

* '''Formidable Oak backwards:''' See [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Formidable Oak backwards (Pikmin 3)|here]].

* '''Near the ledge:''' In the slightly higher area with [[Red Pikmin]] that's near the [[SPERO]] in the [[Collect Treasure]] variant, the player can go out of bounds. To do this, at least two leaders must be thrown to the ledge. By going right at the side of the ledge, a leader can be thrown onto the rim of the stage. Two leaders can even be thrown out of bounds because another can be forced onto the platform by wedging themselves upwards. By throwing leaders past invisible walls, the entire brim of the stage can be explored.{{cite youtube|rname=vid1}}

* '''The western part of the river:''' If the player walks into a small wedge between the side of the river and a rock, then they can eventually move upwards and out of bounds, on the other side of the cinder-block.{{cite youtube|rname=vid1}}

== ''Hey! Pikmin'' ==

Being a sidescroller, ''Hey! Pikmin'' has fewer opportunities for going out of bounds, but it can be done in some places.
