Editing Talk:Glitches in Pikmin 3

For the Early scornet maestro, early quaggled mireclops and formidable oak backwards, I can't access the youtube videos. It says video doesn't exist ~Ford4385
:Fixed now. The person who added the video URLs didn't set them up to work with the glitch template, so it was linking to the videos wrong. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 18:32, 18 February 2015 (EST)

I'm not sure if this would be a glitch or a display error, but I found a video with purple and brown pellet posies (or posys) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMR2prU_v_I (i probably did that wrong) ~Ford4385

== Strange Seed Glitch ==

This will probably need further confirmation to see if it is reproducible, but I encountered a strange seed glitch. In Twilight River, I was having Winged Pikmin carry pellets back to the main Onion and was running very low on time. The pink 5 pellet they were carrying was absorbed just as the countdown hit 0. A few of the seeds were spit out during the end of day cutscene, but not all of them. The next morning, during the landing cutscene, it spit out the rest of the seeds directly below the onion and embedded right under the light. I was able to pluck them as normal. {{User:Peach Bulborb/sig}}
:I wish somebody could verify this and add it to the article. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 06:01, 3 July 2015 (EDT)
::I'm going to try to do it a second time, but we still will need independent verification. {{User:Peach Bulborb/sig}}
:::If you can pull it off again, and understand the steps needed to recreate it, then there's no need for another person to verify. It only makes sense for another person to reproduce it if it's some outlandish glitch, specially from a user nobody ever heard of. As long as you can gather easy steps to reproduce, it's fine. People who think the glitch is fake can try it for themselves. If we had more glitches being submitted constantly, we should start worrying about a procedure to weed out the bad ones, but we don't, so... &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:07, 4 July 2015 (EDT)

I have once again attempted it on Twilight River, this time with Blue Pikmin and a Blue 10 Pellet. It worked! The sprouts were decidedly not in the usual ring, but a little scattered around under the Onion. Note that despite it being a 10 pellet, I only obtained 7 sprouts, any remaining ones must have been cut off as the day ended. It would appear the glitch is activated on Twilight River by having Pikmin carry an object to the Onion just as the day ends and the countdown hits zero. The Onion should start spitting seeds, which will grow during the end of day cutscene. When you return in the morning, the sprouts will not be in the ground but ejected out a second time and land in all sorts of weird places on the ground. As I have tried four times to get this to work, and only succeeded once, it would appear the timing has to be very precise. To make this easier, you should use something that will produce a large amount of seeds and raise the window of opportunity during which this can happen. {{User:Peach Bulborb/sig}}

:Neat! So does this only work on the Twilight River? I would strongly bet that that's not the case. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 05:10, 9 July 2015 (EDT)

I will try to test it on other maps at a later date. {{User:Peach Bulborb/sig}}

==Confused Rock Pikmin==
At the end of the day, a single Rock Pikmin following Charlie decided not to return to the Master Onion, instead deciding to follow Charlie to the Drake. I don't believe he died, and I suspect the cause was Charlie entering a loading zone under the Go Here! command's effects at the exact moment of sunset. I suspect it would work regardless of leader or Pikmin. [[User:Phineas81707|Phineas81707]] ([[User talk:Phineas81707|talk]]) 00:45, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

::I managed to get the glitch to be reproduced. Somehow, however, it got combined with the infamous "Pikmin not teleporting to base at day's end" glitch, so this Winged Pikmin was the only one to make it back in time to be in the picture: I had intended for all five types to rush after Charlie. https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAACNUKFKdSdy9A [[User:Phineas81707|Phineas81707]] ([[User talk:Phineas81707|talk]]) 05:30, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

== New glitch ==
Can someone please add this glitch? To do it, make a Bud Pikmin activate the nectar cutscene, and BOOM Pikmin in a T-Pose! I would, but, I kinda don't wanna. [[File:Dwarf orange bulborb.png|50px]] [[User:Ninjabunny1234|Ninjabunny1234]] 12:10, 7 December 2015 (EST)
:Don't be afraid to try adding it yourself! You have some instructions here: [[Pikipedia:Glitch notes]]. Just try your best, and somebody will come along to clean up any mistakes. Remember, a flawed contribution is better than no contribution at all. But still, if you want somebody else to add it, I can do it. That said, how exactly do you see the T-pose? Does the Pikmin go in a T-pose only for a split-second? Or all throughout the cutscene? &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:54, 7 December 2015 (EST)
::You do it. BLEH. Also, normally, the Pikmin jump up and spin. Doing the glitch makes them go in a T-Pose instead. So, yeah. A split-second. [[File:Dwarf orange bulborb.png|50px]] [[User:Ninjabunny1234|Ninjabunny1234]] 12:10, 7 December 2015 (EST)

:I just checked myself, and that's not a glitch. If a leaf Pikmin drinks nectar, it gets all excited and backflips, because of the huge change in maturity that just happened. If a bud Pikmin drinks nectar, the change isn't as big, so the only thing the Pikmin does is stretch its arms out and shake them, as if saying "ooh, that's good". Red Pikmin and Rock Pikmin do the same animations, and I'd bet all Pikmin types do too. If the Pikmin in the cutscene stood perfectly static and held that pose awkwardly during what would've been the "I'm pumped up!" animation, that would be a glitch. It would mean the game failed to obtain the correct animation and defaulted to using the T-pose. But this isn't the case. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 10:30, 18 December 2015 (EST)

== Stellar Extrusion-related glitch ==
Does anyone else understand the fate of [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAAAtVHhoulSRHQ this Yellow Pikmin?] It happened shortly after I pulled down the [[Stellar Extrusion]] in the [[Tropical Wilds]], and it doesn't respond to any attempts to add itto my party. It happened a while ago, so I don't quite remember for sure, but I think I lost it to [[sunset]]. Can anyone give a possible explanation?

== Counter Glitch ==

While playing Mission mode with my mother, I have found the counter glitch on multiple occasions. We first found it on Distant Tundra Remix, and now we can find it anywhere. If I remember correctly, we also saw it on Fortress of Festivity. I see no specific cause of the glitch, however, and all we do is play normally. I have never found it in single-player, though.

== another invisible Pikmin glitch! ==

I was fleeing from the Mysterious Life Form, and I don't know how it happened, but after I whisled, my Pikmin carrying Olimar back, the 1/5 was still there, and upon closer inspection,  I could see a leaf, but no Pikmin! Not even whistling made it come too me. [[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 16:51, 26 February 2017 (EST)

I know, but I don't even know how I did it. and it would take me awhile to get back there, as my sister restarted the game..... but I know I noticed it when entering the other side of the bridge from the gate that's destroyed by bomb rocks, (by area hint data file)[[User:Pikmin Theories|Pikmin Theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin Theories|talk]]) 12:31, 27 February 2017 (EST)

Okay, I'm not sure if this is what happened, but I think maybe Olimar was laying ontop of the Pikmin, If that is what happened, then I guess when I called them to me, the others dropped it on that Pikmin, so it couldn't move, so it became idle, then returned to trying to carry Olimar, but like I said, either way I don't know if that's what exactly happened, If I recall correctly, I think the glitch ended when I got other Pikmin to carry Olimar again like normal.

== Early blues in tropical wilds? ==

What would happen if you used invincible Pikmin to break down the wall by the calcified crushblat or whatever, and then threw Winged Pikmin the candy pop buds? [[File:Dwarf orange bulborb.png|25px]] [[User:Ninjabunny1234|Ninjabunny]][[User Talk:Ninjabunny1234|1234]][[File:Dwarf bulborb.png|25px]]
:That's a great question. I tried it, but it's super hard.

Sometimes, when pikmin cling onto an arctic cannon larva and kill it, they sometimes just die. this just happened to me and it killed 9 pikmin. 9! I had to restart the day because i do deathless runs. But, there were no screaming sounds like other pits. they just died. I didnt see any spirits.{{User:Ninjabunny1234/sig}}

== Pikmin jumping out of water ==

Sometimes, very rarely, Pikmin might jump out of the water before they drown, and then reset their "drown timer". So, yeah. It seems to happen when I jump in the water with 100 Pikmin.
