{{update|This article hasn't been updated in a long time, and with the pace of updates to ''Pikmin Bloom'', it's very likely that most (if not all) of the glitches documented here have been patched. All the glitches here need to be checked, and the [https://community.pikminbloom.com/en/categories/known-issues known issues] and [https://community.pikminbloom.com/en/categories/report-a-bug bug reporting] categories on the official forum should be looked at to add additional glitches to this article.}} | |||

===Challenge and expedition overlap=== | |||
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmful | versions = At least 36.1 | |||
|effects = Makes the results of a [[challenge]] and the results of an [[expedition]] show up on the same screen, overlapping each other. Some menus don't work properly in this state, and can even [[crash]] the app. | |||
|prerequisites = Have one challenge, one expedition, and at least one other challenge or expedition. | |||
|howto = Start a challenge, and before it finishes, start an expedition. Before either finish, return to the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Main screen|main screen]], go to the very top, and tap the button that tells you you have other expeditions available. Then stay on that screen while the challenge and expedition from before are ongoing. You can do something else with your phone during this time, even locking it. Once both are complete, tap on the finished expedition. | |||
|explanation = During most game states, the game will try to cut away to a challenge that has been completed but the player hasn't seen its ending cutscene. If this happens in a state where the game is busy trying to show the player the results of an expedition, it will try to do both things at once, with unintended consequences. | |||

|notes = Different screens will be able to parse or not parse different tags; for instance, tapping a Pikmin in the garden will show bold text, but will show raw <code><size></code> tags instead. It is possible to have multiple tags in the same text. Different screens show the name in different font sizes, but the font size tag forces it to stay at a certain size. If the chosen font size is too big, the text won't appear. The alpha component (the last two digits) of the color is optional. Besides HTML hex color codes, it is also possible to write the names of some colors, like "red" or "cyan". | |notes = Different screens will be able to parse or not parse different tags; for instance, tapping a Pikmin in the garden will show bold text, but will show raw <code><size></code> tags instead.

**Attempting to use a hex code for a color while using emoji, it will be invisible, but color names seem to work.

**Changing the size and using emoji leads to inconsistent results, prone to crashing if you use a large enough size and many emoji. | **Changing the size and using emoji leads to inconsistent results, prone to crashing if you use a large enough size and many emoji. | ||

|explanation = Pikmin names in those screens support Unity's rich text feature. In particular, the Pikmin details screen writes the Pikmin's name in bold and a larger font size. Instead of being limited to whatever rich text tags the developers specify, the game reads the player's text and parses the tags in it, allowing the player to style the text without limit. | |explanation = Pikmin names in those screens support Unity's rich text feature.
