| howto = Use Oatchi's [[Oatchi#Rush|rush]] while facing a wall, then open the [[radar]] the second he collides with the wall. The "Go Here" function should now become unusable, and placing your cursor at a location on the map will only bring up the "Face This Way" option. This will persist throughout the entirety of the stage, whether you are playing as Oatchi or the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]].

| notes = This currently has only been observed in [[Dandori Challenge]]s, in which the only way to restore the "Go Here" function is to completely exit the challenge. Restarting the stage will ''not'' fix the glitch. Additionally, while this glitch is fairly hard to reproduce, multiple Dandori Challenge strategies involve performing "Go Here" right after ramming Oatchi into a wall to knock down an object as to save time, so the glitch does end up happening by accident.

| explanation = This happens because the game does not consider the pail as a valid part of the path graph. Leaders and Oatchi, as well as any thrown Pikmin, will also not be able to escape via [[Go Here!]], the [[Idler's Alert]], etc.

| notes = Only 120 Pikmin will follow you/hop on Oatchi at a time. While performing the glitch the inverse can also happen, in that Pikmin that successfully went inside the Candypop Bud won't be accounted for, meaning you can lose Pikmin if your timing is off.

===Pikmin duplication (Rewind Time Candypop Bud duplication) ===
{{ glitch| reproducibility = Low | consequences = Helpful | other = [https://www.pikminwiki.com/File:Pikmin_4_Rewind_Duping_Glitch.webp Image of the effects of the glitch]
| effects = Pikmin are cloned, although only one Pikmin can be cloned from the method, allowing for a maximum of 101 Pikmin out at a time.
| prerequisites = Be in a cave sublevel with a [[Candypop Bud]] in it.
| howto = Throw Pikmin into the Candypop Bud, pluck the Pikmin. Wait until the [[Rewind Time]] feature will rewind to the exact time when the Pikmin is plucked. This will lead to 100 Pikmin in your squad and one extra sprout next to the Candypop Bud, leading to a total of 101.
| notes = There are no known reports of this glitch being reproduced, and it is likely only possible with very precise timing.
| explanation = The game may be incorrectly recording the amount of Pikmin in the squad and the amount of sprouts present on the field. }}
