| howto = When an enemy is defeated and falls to the ground, there is a chance that a nearby Pikmin will mysteriously vanish without leaving a [[soul]] or making a sound. There are several enemies that have this happen more frequently than others, and it also happens with more regularity when [[swarm]]ing enemies rather than [[throw]]ing Pikmin at them. It can also happen with [[pellet]]s and [[treasure]]s.

| effects = Makes a bridge's 2^nd+ sections be constructed instantly.

| prerequisites = You should not have visited this area before.

| howto = Simply enter a cave and get out, or end the day and come back to the area on a later day. When you then issue Pikmin to work on the bridge, the current stage the bridge is in will be worked on as normal, but all other stages will be built instantly.

| explanation = When the area is exited, the game [[Saved game|saves]] some information about it, including the current stage of each bridge. When the area is entered again, it loads the saved data, and changes the bridge to match the saved stage. However, it gives that stage's health a value of 3000 and all other stages are left with 0 health. Even at 0 health, the game only updates the stage of the bridge once Pikmin attack it during that stage.

 

| effects = Makes a leader warp to the nearest carrying path waypoint.

| prerequisites = Have the [[Upgrade#Napsack|Napsack]], and have a way to fall underneath the map such as by going [[out of bounds]] with a [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Seesaw block clip|seesaw block clip]].

| howto = Fall underneath the map and [[lie down]] while falling. If done correctly, this will warp you to the nearest carrying path waypoint.

| normal = When falling out of bounds, the intended behavior is that you will be warped to the default failsafe location, which is always near the ship. This will also happen if the leader touches the pit without lying down.

| explanation = When a leader has used the Napsack, they are treated as if they are a treasure for certain interactions. There's another invisible plane underneath every level that warps treasures back in-bounds in case they fall into the void, and triggering this interaction on a leader is what causes this glitch.

| notes = There's an invisible plane underneath every level that kills any enemies or Pikmin that fall into the [[pit]]. Due to the erratic nature of how a leader falls when lying down, it is possible that the leader will touch this plane instead of just the plane that relocates treasures. If this happens, the leader will become [[#Frozen leader glitch|frozen]]. This happens deterministically depending on the fall speed and exact position of your leader when the respective planes are touched, but given the precision involved it's generally regarded as impossible to avoid this happening with 100% consistency. Roughly 20% of the time this will occur when performing Napsack Warps regardless of location.

===Seesaw block clip===

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Helpful | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | demonstration = [http://speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?Pikmin2_BestEnding_310 2:20 and 5:25 of part 7 of the current Speed Demos Archive speedrun, by Charles Griffin]

| effects = Allows a leader to clip inside a [[seesaw block]], after which they can go [[out of bounds]].

| prerequisites = Have an available [[cutscene]] that can be triggered, for example a treasure collection cutscene or a Pikmin hazard introduction cutscene.

| howto = Place a leader on a lowered seesaw block. Then throw some Pikmin onto the other block and trigger a cutscene while the blocks are still moving. After the cutscene is over, the leader that was standing on the block will be inside of it. You can also clip into the seesaw blocks in [[Perplexing Pool]] near [[Glutton's Kitchen]] without the use of a cutscene by [[lying down]] on top of the southern block of the pair, while against its southern edge, while it is raised.{{cite youtube|NYcSyL-DpP0|of a player clipping through the seesaw block by lying down on its edge|h=1|m=49|s=40}} This is the only known location where you can clip inside a seesaw block this way.

| notes = You must let the cutscene play out for about one second – if you skip the cutscene immediately, the clip won't work. This glitch can be used to get out of bounds in nearly every location where a seesaw block is present. When used in combination with a [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Napsack warp|Napsack warp]] you can reach unintended locations such as the Blue Onion area before breaking the electric gate blocking it.

| explanation = During most cutscenes, leaders and non-treasure-related Pikmin are frozen in place so disasters can't happen while the player is unable to take action. Some objects continue to move though, such as the seesaw blocks. Because the leader's position doesn't move while the block does, it engulfs the leader and places them inside it after the cutscene is finished.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmless | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | image = Crushed Pikmin jumping in hole.jpg | icaption = Demonstration of the glitch. The Pikmin on the bottom-left are very flat.

| effects = Causes [[crush]]ed Pikmin to appear in the sublevel transition cutscene.

{{glitch | reproducibility = Medium | consequences = Harmless | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | p2s = Yes

| howto = Go near the entrance of a [[cave]] with Pikmin on your party. When you're ready, press {{button|gc|x|wii|c|switch|x}} and {{button|gc|a|wii|a|switch|a}} at the same time, preferably the [[dismiss]] button slightly before. The cave chart will say you have all the Pikmin with you, but they should be idle. Confirm that you wish to enter the cave. After the falling cutscene, the game should announce a Pikmin extinction.

{{glitch | reproducibility = Medium | consequences = Harmful | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | p2s = Yes | youtube = LTy9zsrwotc

| notes = To release the stuck Pikmin, you should push them with your leader, as they cannot be whistled, or go into a cave. [[Wollywog]]s and Yellow Wollywogs can also get stuck under bridges in the same way; this too is rare.

{{glitch | reproducibility = Medium | consequences = Harmful | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes

| notes = The Pikmin will still be counted on the counter and appear on the [[radar]] as their respective colors, but will not appear above or below the bridge. Corpses and pellets, however, will still be on the bridge, to fix the glitch, enter a cave and leave it quickly.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmless | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | p2s = Yes | youtube = mQ-tOp5Q9lA

| howto = Simply throw a Purple Pikmin at a [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]], [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]], [[Snow Bulborb]], or [[Dwarf Bulbear]] such that it crushes the enemy instantly. The Purple Pikmin will stay stuck to the enemy for a couple of seconds. During this time, whistle the Pikmin, get close to it, and hold {{button|gc|a|wii|a|switch|a}} to grab it. The Pikmin will be grabbed, as evidenced by the sound, but will not be in the leader's hand. The Pikmin will teleport to the leader's hand when the enemy's [[soul]] shows up. This means that the player can keep the enemy [[Camera#Off-camera|off-camera]], and only when the enemy is visible again will the Pikmin teleport to the leader. While the Pikmin is stuck, you can also release the button to throw it, but this will just make it spin in place on top of the enemy, and land right near it after a bit. This glitch also works if you switch to a different Pikmin in your group, and then use {{button|gc|padlr|wii|b|switch|r}} to switch to a Purple Pikmin, while making sure that the stuck Purple is the closest one in the group.

===Beetle flip glitch===

{{glitch | reproducibility = Low | consequences = Harmful | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = ? | youtube = BLYxdnYPToE

|effects = Makes an [[Anode Beetle]], [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]], [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]], or [[Doodlebug]] that gets attacked ignore the attack and continue what it was going to do. Anode Beetles instantly enter the "flip upright" animation and start turning to zap, whereas other beetles do the squash effects, scurry off in another direction, and fail to drop anything; this will not advance the list of spoils, so the player can hit again and get the reward they were meant to have obtained.

|howto = Throw a Pikmin at one of the aforementioned enemies while it is idling. The glitch will happen if the Pikmin lands on the same frame in which the creature would begin turning. In the Anode Beetle's case, this is when it would begin turning to face a zapping partner, and for the other beetles, when it would begin turning to face a new direction to scuttle into.

|notes = If the player triggers this glitch accidentally, they could end up not reacting to the enemy's unexpected behavior in time, and could lose Pikmin or treasure. To rectify this, they can throw two Pikmin in a row, so the second one hits after the first one causes the glitch.

|normal = The creature would get flipped, and enter a vulnerable state or drop a spoil.

|explanation = The variable that controls how much time is left until a flipped beetle returns to normal is set to zero every time it enters the state where it is turning. If the beetle enters that state at the same time it enters the "flip upside-down" state, the enemy will be successfully flipped, but the "time remaining" variable will be set to zero, and the enemy will flip upright straight after.

{{glitch | reproducibility = Low | consequences = Helpful| p2 = Yes | npcp2 = ? | youtube = HffrdnfsmNg

{{glitch | reproducibility = Low | consequences = Harmless | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | youtube = ShWBvyyWKpM | vcaption = The glitch in question manifests itself at 1:18

| howto = This glitch happens mostly randomly. When you are close to an area where an enemy will fall down, it may fall on a dead enemy or treasure. This will make the enemy float in mid-air, but it counts as being on the ground. This can also be triggered by throwing Purple Pikmin at the enemy as it falls – the Purple Pikmin's pound attack will cause enemies to lose their falling momentum. An identical effect can be achieved by using Purple Pikmin to stun an enemy, most commonly an airborne one such as a [[Swooping Snitchbug]], on top of a [[gate]] and then working on destroying it; the enemy will remain at the same altitude at which it was stunned at despite the gate's top moving down.

| notes = Using a dose of [[ultra-bitter spray]] on the floating enemy fixes the glitch. If this glitch happens with an Armored Cannon Beetle Larva, the boulders it shoots will fall down as if it was on a cliff.

| explanation = For collision purposes, enemies have long vertical hitboxes, probably a universal height. Normally, it's not possible to have an enemy fall on top of another, and the tall hitboxes are to make sure the enemy that's falling from above slides out of the way at a comfortable distance. If, however, the falling enemy is spot-on on the grounded enemy's center, it will have no direction to slide into, so it takes the collision as landing on solid ground.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Helpful | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes

|howto = Lure the enemy into the water, and when its fire goes out, toss non-Red Pikmin at its back. When it walks out of the water, its fire should return, but the Pikmin on its back should take no mind to the fire.

|explanation = When the Bulblax leaves the water, there is no code to alert the Pikmin that the object they're attacking has changed its elemental properties, so the Pikmin keep the old behavior – attacking, instead of the new one – being set ablaze.

===Sped up Dwarf Red Bulborb===

{{glitch | reproducibility = Medium | consequences = Depends | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes

| effects = Makes a Dwarf Red Bulborb's animations temporarily speed up.

| notes = When the Dwarf Red Bulborb is in the <code>turn</code> state, its animations are sped up to double speed. In the <code>walk</code> state, they are sped up around 1.3 times. Interrupting the enemy during one of these states will not restore its animation speed to normal.{{cite web|https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/177496240035069962/903697187228225536/Dolphin_5.0-15421___JIT64_SC___Vulkan___HLE___FPS__30_-_VPS__60_-_100___GPVE01_2021-10-29_13-28-57.mp4|Discord video|Discord|published={{date|29|October|2021}}|retrieved={{date|5|November|2021}}}}

 

| effects = Makes it so a [[Spotty Bulbear]] or [[Gatling Groink]]'s animations are sped up when they [[revive]].

| prereq = Be in a sublevel with at least two of the enemy in question.

| howto = Kill the enemies and retrieve one of the corpses while the others are reviving. If the order you chose is correct, which is not something possible to determine while playing normally, the revived enemies will be sped up.

** The creature's animation for waking up after reviving may be skipped altogether.

** For Spotty Bulbears, this effect mostly affects the speed in which they get up and turn, since their animation speed is set to something else when they start walking.

** When three enemies are involved, if the carcass of the first-spawned enemy is recovered and the other two are reviving, what happens depends on which of the two finish reviving first. If the third-spawned revives first, it will be sped up while the other will not. If the second-spawned revives first, then both will be sped up.

 

| effects = Makes it so a [[Mitite]] or [[Unmarked Spectralids]]'s animations are sped up. This also makes them die quicker.

| prereq = Be in an area or sublevel where you can spawn multiple of the enemy at will. For Mitites, there should be enough [[egg]]s to spawn one group and then spawn another (or for one group to be buried in the ground), and for Unmarked Spectralids there should be enough [[vegetation]] that spawns them when bumped against such as the [[Margaret]] and [[Figwort]] near the base of [[Awakening Wood]].

** A [[#Sped up reviving enemies|similar glitch]] also affects Spotty Bulbears and Gatling Groinks.

| explanation = In memory, there is a list with data about all of the Mitites that can be loaded at once and another for all the Spectralids. When the area or sublevel is loaded, the data on this list is cleared. Whenever a new enemy needs to spawn, it occupies one slot of this list and initializes its data. When that enemy is defeated and its carcass is being beamed up by the Onion, its animation speeds up, which is controlled by one variable in that enemy's slot in memory. Once the enemy is completely absorbed by the Onion, its object vanishes from the game world, and its slot in memory is marked as vacant. When a new enemy is spawned, it takes up the first available slot in memory and initializes some data. The problem comes from the fact that the data that gets initialized does not include the variable that controls the animation speed, and so it just uses whatever was left behind in memory at that point. The reason buried Mitites always have one enemy that is not sped up is because when the area loads, the Mitite responsible for the group is already created and exists as an object in the game world, meaning it uses the regular cleared data in the list.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmless | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | p2s = Yes

| howto = Pause the game. After you press {{button|gc|start|wii|+|switch|+}} to unpause, rapidly mash {{button|gc|y|wii|-|switch|y}} so that you switch leaders as soon as possible. If you managed to press the button at the right time, the needle will be stuck for the duration of the leader transition. If the Treasure Gauge was in black-and-white, it will have gained color.

| notes = The needle gets fixed when the leader transition ends, and the coloring gets fixed when you pause again, or when you leave the area or the game. There are {{frames|2}} frames in which pressing the leader button will trigger the glitch, and these are the first frames in which changing is possible after an unpause. If an [[Antenna Beetle]] is present, the gauge will have the needle pointing up, and will not have the purple effect, but when the needle gets unfrozen, the purple effect starts and the gauge starts acting as it should when being affected by an Antenna Beetle.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmless | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | youtube = 6aqkU5dZhFA

|howto = When you first enter the [[Emergence Cave]], grow Purple Pikmin and leave the cave using the [[geyser]] without collecting the [[Sphere Chart]]. Once outside, store the Purple Pikmin in the ship's hull. Enter the cave again, and leave without collecting the Sphere Chart once more. When you reach the surface, the cutscenes that are meant to start on the third day (the ship informing about the Purple Pikmin having been stored on its hull and how Olimar should've instructed Louie about the [[controls]]) will play on the current day instead.

|explanation = When the player collects the [[Sphere Chart]], the game automatically ends the day when the player exits the Emergence Cave. But, because the treasure isn't retrieved, the game won't end the day, and the player is able to go back to the cavern. Since the Purple Pikmin hull cutscene plays when the player starts a day or reaches the surface with the Purple Pikmin stored, the cutscene will play then.

===Floating Cupid's Grenade===

{{glitch | reproducibility = Low | consequences = Helpful | p2 = ? | npcp2 = ?

| effects = Makes a Cupid's Grenade float and go to an Onion by itself.

| howto = Go into 2-Player Battle mode. Have a Pikmin grab a [[Cupid's Grenade|Cupid's Grenade]] near a dead enemy's carcass. The Pikmin will grab the Cupid's Grenade and start to take it right through the carcass. The Pikmin will get stuck in front of the carcass, walking endlessly until the Cupid's Grenade enters the Onion. Meanwhile, the Cupid's Grenade will continue to move without any Pikmin carrying it.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmless | p2 = ? | npcp2 = Yes

| howto = Cause a drop of [[nectar]], such as one from a petrified enemy, to fall on top of a pile of sticks used to build a [[bridge]]. If the sticks are removed from under the drop by building the bridge, the drop will remain suspended in the air. Pikmin can be made to drink the nectar by throwing them at it, and they will fall back to the ground once the nectar is all used up. A good place to do this is in [[Awakening Wood]] with a [[Yellow Wollywog]] near the bridges.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmless | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | p2s = Yes

| prerequisites = Have the [[Volatile Dweevil]] on the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]].

| explanation = The bomb-rock and the creature must count as two different objects. They also react to the petrification at different times. With the right timing, their petrifications can be desynchronized. A similar glitch can happen with the [[Waterwraith]] and its rollers.

===Stuck bag===

{{glitch | reproducibility = Low | consequences = Harmless | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | youtube = WKbO8-YvHfY

| effects = Makes the first bag in the [[Valley of Repose]] stuck until the day is over. It'll act as it if were closed, i.e. it can still be passed through, although the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]] will stay on top of it when moved there.

| howto = Start a new [[Saved game|save file]] and work your way until you have enough Pikmin to put down the first [[bag]]. Throw the required number of Pikmin but one onto the bag. When you throw the last one, call the Pikmin to either leader's side just as the Pikmin lands on the bag. Until you get the exact timing, it's better to whistle too early rather than too late, because if you whistle too late, the cutscene will start and you'll have to restart the save file to try again, whereas whistling too early makes the Pikmin come to you, and you can try again right away. If you timed it right, there's a chance the Pikmin will move out of the bag, and the latter will stay in place, but the reunion cutscene will still occur. Olimar and Louie will pass through the bag, and it'll be stuck in this state until the day ends.

| notes = With incredible luck, it is also possible to have the "You appear to be stuck" cutscene interrupt the bag's deflation, which also triggers the glitch.

| explanation = Just like the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Cardboard box cutscene softlock|cardboard box softlock glitch in ''Pikmin'']], if the Pikmin are brought back into the party just as the cutscene starts, there will be no Pikmin to actually perform the actions required by the cutscene, in this case, deflating the bag. Because it was never assumed that this could or would happen, the game is programmed to move Olimar and Louie to the place where the squashed bag was, regardless of its state.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmless | p2 = Yes | npcp2 = Yes | p2s = Yes | image = Wistful Wild cut-off.jpg

| prerequisites =<br>

** Spot 1: Have access to the [[Wistful Wild]], and open the way to the southeastern part of the map.

** Spot 2: Have access to the [[Perplexing Pool]] and have obtained the [[Napsack]].

| howto =<br>

** Spot 1: Go to the Wistful Wild and make your way to the section with the [[Creeping Chrysanthemum]]s and [[Withering Blowhog]]s. Climb up to the top of the northernmost tree trunk (the easternmost point of the map you can reach with a leader), and face the entrance to the [[Dream Den]]. Finally, angle the [[camera]] so that it is at a 3/4 angle view, and zoom it so that it is on the closest level of zoom. The geometry near the entrance to the cave should start cutting off as the camera gets closer to its final position.

** Spot 2: Go to the Perplexing Pool and make your way to the section where the [[Yellow Onion]] is initially found. Position yourself next to the tree the wild [[Yellow Pikmin]] are initially found, throw a Pikmin right next to your position, and lie down via the Napsack. If done correctly, the Pikmin should carry you up the tree. If you wake up right as the Pikmin reaches the top of the tree, you'll be able to stand on top of it. From there, simply face towards the area with the [[Massage Girdle]] and the [[Submerged Castle]] and zoom out the camera to its farthest option while facing it forward. The aforementioned area with the Massage Girdle should be unloaded.

| explanation = In order to save the GPU load, the game stops rendering geometry after a certain distance. This distance is quite small at the closest zoom level. In-game, it's large enough so that the geometry doesn't cut off on-[[camera]], but on that hill, the entrance to the cave is far enough away that the cut-off can actually be caught by the player. The camera's angle also takes a role in this, in that normally, the 3/4 angle does not allow the player to see substantially far ahead to begin with. In the case of this happening in the Perplexing Pool, the camera is able to see very far ahead due to the high ground. Far enough ahead, in fact, that it can see into an unloaded area despite the fact that the camera is in a state where a large amount of geometry is loaded.

| howto = First, you must get a leader ready to fall into the [[pit]]. This can be achieved by going [[out of bounds]], like with a [[#Seesaw block clip|seesaw block clip]]. Then you must time a hold of {{button|gc|x|wii|c}} such that the leader is in the middle of the lying down animation when he touches the pit. This is a bit random as explained [[#Napsack warp|here]], but if you are successful, the leader will come back but without an antenna light, and the only action you can do is leave lying down mode. This will make him stand in place with his head held low, and stuck forever. If, before touching the pit, you swap to the other leader, then you will be unable to switch back, and the frozen leader will either vanish, or be able to be carried, but frozen after being delivered. A different thing can happen if the leader touches the pit whilst carried by a Dweevil. He can be teleported to the Research Pod and become invisible, except for his antenna's light. In this state, he can be returned to normal by performing any action while controlling him, or by whistling him with another leader. If a leader is on top of the Research Pod and the other leader performs other actions (like throwing Pikmin), the first leader will eventually appear on the ground somewhere, on the same semi-frozen state with no antenna light described above.

It is possible that the problem happens because it spawns next to the [[Meat of Champions]], even though that treasure rarely moves, and there are cases of weird Hideous Victual behavior without the Meat of Champions being involved.

| notes = At the end of the cave, the treasures that were used for this glitch will not be present on the tally, even though they will be considered collected and the all treasures ending can be achieved even if the glitch is used. In addition, because the treasures aren't tallied, the game won't consider that cave complete, which means the player can save time by not having to see the small cave completion celebration. To note however is that the player will not be given the Poko value for the treasures or objects involved with the glitch, and that there is the potential risk of the game freezing.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/SucculentOpenTermitePrimeMe|Twitch clip|Twitch}} Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that if the player pauses and escapes the cave after performing this glitch, the treasure will still count as collected, and will not reappear.

| effects = Makes an absorbed [[spray]] drop increase the amount of sprays of the opposite type instead.

| prerequisites = Have a spray drop ready to absorb, and a way to generate nectar drops or spray drops.

| howto = You need to make a nectar drop or spray drop appear just as a leader finishes drinking a spray drop that is already on the floor. The new drop should appear right as the spray drop absorption is ending (i.e. just before the numbers on the [[HUD]] begin to change). The spray counter that will increase depends on the drop that has just appeared: you will receive one dosage of the spray type that just spawned, or if it's nectar, you'll get one dosage of ultra-bitter spray. One way to do this is to make the [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]] on the pot at the [[Awakening Wood]] release a spray drop, then petrify a nearby enemy, and issue some Pikmin to attack it. When the creature is almost defeated, go collect the spray drop, but time it so that the enemy explodes just as the drop is done being absorbed. You can also time it to the destruction of an [[egg]], the burst of a [[Honeywisp]]'s sac, the release of an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]'s spoils, etc.

| notes = The window for this glitch is not very strict (seemingly {{frames|7}} [[frame]]s). With this, it is possible to obtain ultra-bitter sprays without having harvested any berries of that type. This glitch can also happen if the absorption is interrupted by the cutscene shown when the player collects 10 bitter berries.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/IgnorantYawningGorillaBCouch-1mz8UzLGm92Rz0gI|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|16|January|2023}}|retrieved={{date|17|January|2023}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/SuspiciousViscousEggPoooound-AgQBFL87Gx0XzBiT|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|28|February|2023}}|retrieved={{date|3|March|2023}}}}

=== Gameplay ===

| If a Purple Pikmin is thrown at a [[gate]] while very close to the gate, and is thrown at full force, it will go through and attack from the other side. || || || || {{cite youtube|ttD6A9eA5Rw|showing Purple Pikmin being thrown through a gate}}

| Some obstacles (such as the [[bag]]s) are surrounded by invisible walls to prevent the player from throwing Pikmin to the other side of the obstacle. However, even after crushing the obstacle in question, the invisible walls do not disappear. This glitch can also be reproduced with the [[cardboard box]]es in ''Pikmin''. || || || || {{cite youtube|Laba7Tj4QGA|showing the invisible walls.}}

| When Pikmin walk through a petrified [[Hermit Crawmad]], without being issued to attack it, the creature will start taking damage, and can even be killed this way. || || || || {{cite youtube|MzeJOjgWSxQ|of petrified Hermit Crawmads suffering damage without being attacked}}

| If a Hermit Crawmad is petrified on land during its lunge attack, and is then dragged to the water, it will create the water splash effect even though it's not moving. If the enemy is killed in this state, the effect will stay there until the player exits the area or sublevel. || || || || {{cite youtube|tmr9s1tGKdg|of a petrified Hermit Crawmad leaving the water splash trail behind}}

| Quitting a cave while Pikmin have been taken by a [[Candypop Bud]], but before the new seeds are expelled, will make the Pikmin vanish. This will decrease the total Pikmin count, but won't increase the death counter. || || || || {{cite youtube|2G0Wk5LdIPU|showing a cave escape when the Pikmin have been taken by a Candypop Bud}}

| If Pikmin in a leader A's group touches [[fire]], or any other hazard, they will be burning up without technically leaving leader A's group. In this state, if leader B whistles leader A, this will count as all of leader A's Pikmin getting whistled, meaning that the Pikmin's fire will be put out, regardless of how far away that Pikmin is, and the fact that the whistle wasn't anywhere close to them. || || || || {{cite youtube|v7JE5_uuqDc|showing how it's possible to whistle a leader in order to save all of that leader's Pikmin}}

| Petrifying a [[bomb rock]] just as it is about to blow up will make it disappear without harm. || || || || {{cite youtube|Tt-oXztIb5w|of a bomb rock disappearing by being petrified just as it was going to blow up}}

| Killing a petrified [[Mamuta]] that had an [[Unmarked Spectralids]] resting on top of it, and then leaving the scene will make the Spectralids return to its original position, and land in mid-air. || || || || {{cite youtube|QDGe9OZ661Q|of a Spectralids returning to where a Mamuta was, and standing in mid-air}}

| Petrifying an [[Emperor Bulblax]] as it is jumping, and then killing it in mid-air will cause the body to vanish, the health wheel to stay there, and a sound to repeat over and over. Similarly, petrifying a Female Sheargrub as it is unearthing and killing it will cause the same effect. || || || || {{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/ElegantAmusedUdonPupper|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|23|June|2018}}|retrieved={{date|23|June|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/200128597539684353/451915705588121600/20180531_200759.mp4|Video of an Emperor Bulblax that disappeared with 0 health remaining, by The JustGreat Minty Meeo|Discord|published={{date|1|June|2018}}|retrieved={{date|1|June|2018}}}}{{cite youtube|EO1QknAX-P0|of a Female Sheargrub getting petrified as it digs out of the ground|published={{date|14|July|2019}}|retrieved={{date|14|July|2019}}}}

=== Aesthetic ===

| In [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge mode]], have some Pikmin carry a treasure, and just as it is being beamed into the Research Pod, quit the level. The cutscene will initiate with the treasure still floating, smaller than its original size. This does not work with [[enemy]] carcasses, but can also be performed with cutscene-triggering treasures, but the timing involved makes it much harder. || || || ||

| The stems of idle Pikmin at the start of a [[2-Player Battle]] match will not glow. The glow will start working normally if the Pikmin is added to the group and then made idle again. In the ''New Play Control!'' version, sometimes a Pikmin that should otherwise be affected by the glitch will have the glow working properly from the get-go. || || || ||

| By activating the hole to the next sublevel at the same time the leader begins [[lie down|lying down]], the player will activate the hole confirmation prompt when the leader is in mid-air, and lying down. If the player confirms, the Pikmin will huddle up to where that leader was, in the GameCube version, or they will run away from the hole entirely, in the Wii version. || || || || {{cite web|https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/177496240035069962/657682501925339161/napsack_hole_glitch.mp4|Video of a leader lying down at the same time the hole is activated, in the GameCube version, by "PikHacker"|Discord|published={{date|20|December|2019}}|retrieved={{date|21|December|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/177496240035069962/657690244719837238/napsack_wii.mp4|Video of a leader lying down at the same time the hole is activated, in the Wii version, by "PikHacker"|Discord|published={{date|20|December|2019}}|retrieved={{date|21|December|2019}}}}

| If the player pauses and unpauses when holding on to a Pikmin, the Pikmin will stop playing its sound. || || || ||

| Pausing when a leader or enemy is on top of a [[seesaw block]] will cause the carrying numbers "0/1" to appear. || || || ||

| When playing the ''New Play Control!'' version in widescreen or the Nintendo Switch version, during the cutscene where [[Louie]] runs away from the Red Pikmin he just plucked, when he leaves the screen from the left and re-enters it shortly after, it is possible to see him zip into scene very quickly for a split-second. || No || Yes || Yes ||

| Sometimes, right before [[Titan Dweevil]] uses one of its weapons or tries to shake off Pikmin, one of the notes in the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Titan Dweevil|Titan Dweevil's theme]] will play really loudly. This is likely caused by some error from how the sequenced music is set to transition from the main theme to the attack stingers. || || Yes || || {{cite youtube|NXE1H7tsr2s|of a single note of the Titan Dweevil's theme playing loudly|m=16|s=31}}

| The game can crash for a number of reasons, as explained in [[crash|this article]]. || || || ||

| Given unknown circumstances, it is possible for Pikmin in a [[cave]] to attack a [[gate]] while quite far away from it, leaning on a wall. It might only happen if the gate is blocking off a dead end, and there is a room on the opposite side of the dead end's wall. || || || || {{cite youtube|1sZDWoWzV2E|showcasing a glitch where Pikmin attack a gate in a cave from far away|m=11|s=9}}

| If a Pikmin is latching on to a [[Yellow Wollywog]], there is a chance that it will be crushed in mid-air. || || || || {{cite youtube|aJH8mHq2wxc|showing a Purple Pikmin being crushed in mid-air}}

| Rarely, a Pikmin may refuse to [[carry]] an object. || || || || {{cite youtube|4_MfAqm5boc|showing a Purple Pikmin refusing to carry a dead Yellow Wollywog}}

| Petrifying a Waterwraith while it is on top of large corpses or treasures will make it float around in a semi-random way. || || || || {{cite youtube|HSkgfpu1EiM|showing how the Waterwraith behaves when petrified on top of large objects}}

| Given unknown circumstances, it's possible for a walking Armored Cannon Larva to turn into the buried version. This glitched buried version can also get stunned, unlike the regular buried version. || || || || {{cite youtube|mdHljZUbB2E|showing how a free Armored Cannon Larva transformed into a buried one}}{{cite youtube|5r7k6oT5zqI|demonstrating how the glitched buried Larva can still get stunned.}}

| Rarely, it is possible for a [[Burrowing Snagret]] or [[Pileated Snagret]] to live with 0 health. Damaging the creature in any way will end the glitch. || || || ||

| In all of the metallic caves it is possible for your Pikmin to fall off the stage. This usually kills the Pikmin, but there are reports of that sometimes not happening. || || || ||

| In caves like the [[Snagret Hole]], there are solid walls. Behind these walls, you see nothing but black. If a [[Bumbling Snitchbug]] grabs one of the leaders, there is a chance that it will drop him into the [[Pit|void]] the walls are blocking out. If you fall in, you will reappear at the [[Research Pod]]. || || || || {{cite youtube|ZgAHpQD9EA0|in which a Bumbling Snitchbug drops a leader out of bounds|m=13|s=41}}

| If a leader is hurt while held by a [[Bumbling Snitchbug]] (e.g. with an [[electrical wire]]), they will enter a state similar to as if they were on the ground. This means they can whistle, punch, etc. Making the leader [[lie down]] will result in him falling to the ground, sleeping, but after the Snitchbug attempts to throw, the leader will enter a "falling" state. In this state, they can't do much except be pushed around by other objects, and act as if there is no friction. Hitting a wall fixes this. || || || || {{cite youtube|Jg3Y7-MeJIo|of what happens if a leader is hurt while grabbed by a Bumbling Snitchbug}}

| Much like the [[#Hideous Victual physics glitches|Hideous Victual glitches]], treasures can jump away seemingly at random, and even become unreachable in an unknown location. This is likely due to the collision cylinders for both objects overlapping, and the game attempting to push them apart. || || || || {{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/FrailPrettyEchidnaBCWarrior|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|28|September|2017}}|retrieved={{date|28|September|2017}}}}{{cite youtube|Dskcl01PdDY|of the Five-man Napsack jumping away|published={{date|2|September|2018}}|retrieved={{date|10|September|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/AffluentCorrectCaterpillarDxCat|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|29|October|2018}}|retrieved={{date|29|October|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/TsundereMistyBeaverCopyThis|Twitch clip (language warning)|Twitch}}{{cite web|https://twitch.clips.gg/UglyBlazingGoatJonCarnage|Twitch clip|Twitch Clips}}{{cite web|https://twitch.clips.gg/FrailPrettyEchidnaBCWarrior|Twitch clip|Twitch Clips}}{{cite youtube|2TbAK6RhgXk|of a [[Crystal Clover]] being projected as it spawns|published={{date|18|November|2018}}|retrieved={{date|19|November|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://www.twitch.tv/videos/374702324|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|3|February|2019}}|retrieved={{date|3|February|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/keisen2853/status/860487790848389122|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|3|February|2019}}|retrieved={{date|3|February|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/AdorableMushyEmuDxCat|Twitch video|Twitch|published={{date|15|February|2019}}|retrieved={{date|15|February|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://www.twitch.tv/videos/178024256|Twitch video|Twitch}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/ManlySuaveCheesecakeHumbleLife|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|31|October|2019}}|retrieved={{date|1|November|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/EndearingFunSoymilkSquadGoals|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|28|September|2017}}|retrieved={{date|28|September|2017}}}}{{dead link|October|2018}} {{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/CrypticRoughGrouseTakeNRG|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|3|November|2018}}|retrieved={{date|3|November|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/fuji_luck/status/1335555772055339008|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|6|December|2020}}|retrieved={{date|7|December|2020}}}}
