Have a leader stand on the seesaw block closer to the wall, and cause the seesaw blocks to shift at the same time the treasure reaches the ship, causing the treasure collection cutscene. If done correctly, the leader will be inside the seesaw block, and can walk into the wall. Walk a precise path through the out-of-bounds area, and eventually fall into the abyss, landing in the room with the Blue Onion.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Depends | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes, but harder | youtube = bXiVifnDYrc
| effects = Allows access to [[Yellow Pikmin]] without breaking down the [[Gate#Bramble gate|poison vent gate]].
| prerequisites = Have access to the [[Perplexing Pool]] and have the [[Napsack]].
| howto = From the landing site, take one Pikmin with you and go to the small hollowed out stump next to the area with the Yellow Pikmin. Stand on the small slope left of the entryway, and lay down. The Pikmin should pick you up and carry you up the trunk. If you time waking up correctly, the Pikmin will drop you off on top of the rim. From there, simply follow the rim up to the rim of the area with the wild Yellow Pikmin, and jump down into it. If you're playing on the original ''Pikmin 2'', you can go ahead and whistle them, however if you're playing ''New Play Control Pikmin 2'', there are a few more steps. From here you must stand next to the tree on the side opposite the longer of the 2 branches. Perform another Napsack carry exploit to get on top of the tree, and shove one of the wild Yellow Pikmin off of it. Keep shoving the Pikmin towards and eventually off the ledge and into the [[nectar weed]] patch, and then wait for the Pikmin to finish plucking it. Once it finishes, it will join your party, though Yellow Pikmin still won't officially be unlocked. To unlock them, you must bring this Pikmin into the [[Citadel of Spiders]], and progress to sublevel three. On this sublevel, let a [[Swooping Snitchbug]] grab the Pikmin and plant it, then pluck it. This will cause the Yellow Pikmin unlock cutscene and the subsequent unlock.
| notes = When attempting this sequence break in ''New Play Control Pikmin 2'', there will be many odd side effects.
** The Pikmin used for the sequence break will die after discovery. This is due to the fact that its discovery cutscene has it jump down off the tree, which causes it to jump under the collision and into the void when done elsewhere. To prevent an extinction and to boost Yellow Pikmin numbers, one can use the [[Queen Candypop Bud]] on the sublevel to gain more.
** The flag that allows wild [[Blue Pikmin]] to be whistled will not be set off. Whistling or bumping into one will not cause it to join your party. To unlock them, you must shove a wild Blue Pikmin all the way to the nectar weed by the landing site to get it to join your party, then pluck the Blue Pikmin by letting the Bumbling Snitchbug on sublevel 3 of [[Snagret Hole]] plant it before proceeding to pluck it.
**Yellow Pikmin will never bring anything back to their own [[Onion]]. This is again, due to the fact that the flags for obtaining Yellow Pikmin have not been properly set off. When ordered to carry corpses, they will always bring them to the Red Onion. The only ways to obtain more Yellow Pikmin are through Queen Candypop Buds, [[Golden Candypop Bud]]s, and [[Pikmin extinction]]s.
**The Onion may perform a startup animation similar to the one from the original {{p1}} when landing or coming out of a cave. This is purely cosmetic, and doesn't change the interactions with the Onion nor prevent you from opening the [[Onion menu]].

Push down the [[paper bag]]. After that, go to the ledge near the ship, and throw the Pikmin up it. Lure the Dwarf Red Bulborb over and use its biting attack to ascend the wall. From here, call the Pikmin, go around the lake, and go towards the Emergence Cave.

| howto = Go to the long ledge across the field from the landing site. Throw some Pikmin up the ledge and get the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]] to wake up. Get it to come towards you and fall off the ledge. Throw all your Pikmin onto the ledge in a different place. With the leader, go back to the Creeping Chrysanthemum and punch it while standing in between it and the wall. Get it to perform its attack where it slams towards the ground while the leader is right next to it. If the leader is positioned and angled correctly, they will fly into the air and land on top of the ledge. From there, they can call the Pikmin and go towards the entrance to the Snagret Hole.

** The next day, the player can choose between landing in the Tropical Wilds, Garden of Hope, or Distant Tundra. If the Vehemoth Phosbat has been defeated, the player will even have access to all 3 leaders, which would theoretically make the Sandbelching Meerslug accessible. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make progress in the game from here, as no matter which area is landed in, no [[Onion]] will be present at the landing site, and it will be impossible to grow any Pikmin, making the game impossible to complete.

|howto = At the [[Twilight River]], have one leader walk across the river next to the landing site with no [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in the squad. Go past the [[Water Dumple]] towards the stationary lily pad. What to do here differs between ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''. In the original ''Pikmin 3'', once near the lily pad, have the leader walk in the corner of the rock to the left of it and the lily pad. If done correctly, the leader will begin to go through the rock. An easy way to tell if the leader is clipping in the rocks is if the they're not shaking around, and is only moving out of bounds. Walk away from where you went out of bounds and the leader will fall down into an abyss, respawning on the side of the river near the Winged [[Onion]]. In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', this trick requires a leader clip. Walk into the tight corner to the right of the lily pad. With [[Controls#Pikmin 3 Deluxe|gyro-only controls]], point towards the [[Flukeweed]] on the other side of the pathway, hold the other leader, and whistle, dropping the leader. If done correctly, the other leader will go through the wall. [[Dismiss]] them to drop them into the abyss, where they'll respawn on the ledge near the Winged Onion. In both versions, have another leader throw across some Pikmin, preferably [[Rock Pikmin]], to free the Onion from the [[Arachnode]]'s web. Throw some in the water, and then switch to the other leader so that they can [[Whistle|call]] them to the other shore. From here, Winged Pikmin can be unlocked.

Throw some in the water, and then switch to the other leader so that they can [[Whistle|call]] them to the other shore. From here, Winged Pikmin can be unlocked. On Ultra-Spicy difficulty in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', due to Pikmin drowning faster, throwing Pikmin towards the lily pad from the shoreline does not allow enough time to whistle them onto the lily pad. Stand atop the hill from which you can see the Winged Pikmin Onion, then throw two or three Pikmin over the raised edge of the hill towards the lily pad. Swap quickly and whistle immediately.
|notes = In [[Update|version 1.0]] of the original ''Pikmin 3'', the leader takes no damage if they fall into the abyss. However, in version 1.4 and onwards and in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', they take damage equal to 1/3 of their total health. Even though the bridge is skipped, it is recommended to build it eventually to allow easy retrieval of items. Also in versions 1.0 to 1.3, you can throw a leader and they will end up behind the paper bag.

|explanation = Collision detection algorithms should be simple, in order to not overload the console, especially for things as trivial as scenery objects such as rocks. It is possible that the gap between the rocks angles inwards, and when the leader attempts to move between them, each wall pushes them in opposite directions, which results in no lateral movement. The forward movement, however, is still enough to move the leader forwards (considering there are no collision forces stopping them efficiently on that direction), so they slowly make progress forward, until they no longer collide with the geometry and go through. In the case of ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', what happens when the leader is released through whistling is that they try to go in front of the active leader, which, with perfect alignment, results in them going through the wall instead of to the side.
