'''Glitches''' (or '''bugs''') are [[Mistake|oversights]] in the making of a game that are caused by unexpected actions the developers didn't think of and lead to unexpected results. Glitches are exclusively a flaw of the game's software. These can be triggered by the player accidentally or on purpose, and can be beneficial, harmful or harmless. Some glitches are abused in order to successfully complete otherwise impossible [[challenge run]]s.


There are six articles on this wiki that list glitches in {{pg}}, organized by game:
*'''[[Glitches in Pikmin|Glitches in ''Pikmin'']]'''
*'''[[Glitches in Pikmin 2|Glitches in ''Pikmin 2'']]'''
*'''[[Glitches in Pikmin 3|Glitches in ''Pikmin 3'']]'''
*'''[[Glitches in Pikmin 4|Glitches in ''Pikmin 4'']]'''
*'''[[Glitches in Hey! Pikmin|Glitches in ''Hey! Pikmin'']]'''
*'''[[Glitches in Pikmin Bloom|Glitches in ''Pikmin Bloom'']]'''


This will be the new home for all Glitches. The title is temporary, as we need to empty out the old Glitches page. Alphabetize the Glitches by their "Official Names" please.
In addition, there are other pages that go into more detail on certain kinds of glitches:
*'''[[Path oversights]]''' details glitches involving the paths Pikmin and leaders take when [[carrying]] and following the [[Go Here!]] command.
*'''[[Out of bounds]]''' details glitches that allow players to access sections of areas not intended to be accessed.
*'''[[Sequence break]]''' details glitches that allow tasks to be done out of order or parts of the game to be skipped.
*'''[[Crash]]''' details glitches that can cause the game to crash.


It is recommended that you read the '''[[Pikipedia:Glitch notes|glitch notes]]''' before attempting any of these glitches, or before adding your own.


==2-P Battle Marble Gitch==
==See also==
This is a glitch that happens exclusively in [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_2 Pikmin 2]'s [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/2-Player_Battle 2-Player Battle] mode. When this glitch occurs, [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Olimar Olimar] or[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Louie Louie] get stuck in their respective marbles when plucking [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_(Species) Pikmin], often after getting the marble-retieving roulette item.
*[[Unused content]]
*[[Easter egg]]


The cause of this glitch is the fact that the player's marble usually cannot be moved by their own possessors, and it will often sit close to the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Onion Onion] without the possibility of moving it. If a pikmin sprout lands underneath it, the player can make their captain attempt to pluck the sprout, only for them to get stuck inside of the marble.
{{anomalies}}
 
[[Category:Gameplay]]
Sometimes you can free your captain by rapidly moving your control stick/ randomly pressing buttons, or getting another marble-retreiving roulette item. If this does not work you must pause and quit.
 
This can actually be used strategically; if you can somehow get the opposing player to get trapped, you could get a few seconds of time.
 
 
 
==Boulder Glitch==
 
 
In [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_2 Pikmin 2], the boulders that fall from the sky can make the captains jump extremely high. The pilot has to use the napsack feature (done by holding down X (or C in the Wii version) after the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Five-man_Napsack Five-man Napsack] is claimed) with good timing. The pilot jumps shortly just before laying down, and if the boulder hits him in that moment, he should slam into the ground and go high up. Although the glitch seems to be a lot easier to pull off with [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Olimar Olimar], it is still possible to do it with [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Louie Louie] and the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/President President]. Do not touch any buttons during the flight, as it will cancel the climb.

==Bridge Glitches==
===Moving through a bridge===
<p style="font-size:13px;">Certain bridges in ''[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_2 Pikmin 2]'' have 'soft' corners that allow [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_family Pikmin] and [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Captain captains] to glitch through from beneath the bridge to its top. This can happen when they are following a captain, when they are ordered through it (with the analogue stick for captains and the C-stick for Pikmin), or when (for Pikmin) they are thrown through it. Very rarely, either Pikmin or captain may fall through the floor when performing the glitch, in which case the Pikmin dies, or the captain reappears at [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Hocotate_Ship Hocotate Ship], similarly to the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Scales_glitch scales glitch].</p>
===Pikmin stuck underneath[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Bridge_glitches?action=edit&section=2 Edit]===
<p style="font-size:13px;">This glitch involves a Pikmin getting stuck under a bridge in Pikmin 2, in water, but still alive. It cannot be whistled, and will only avoid death at sunset by being pushed out from under the bridge by a Captain into more open water. This glitch can occur in two ways:</p>
 
[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070519130815/pikmin/images/9/98/Bridge_Glitch.JPG]Two [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Purple_Pikmin Purple Pikmin] standing in the water.Added by [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/User:Prezintenden Prezintenden]<p style="font-size:13px;">It often occurs in the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Awakening_Wood Awakening Wood] when [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Purple_Pikmin Purple Pikmin] attack any[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Sheargrub Sheargrubs] or in the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Wistful_Wild Wistful Wild] with the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Cloaking_Burrow-nit Cloaking Burrow-nit] that are chewing on a bridge that is ''not'' fully constructed. The Pikmin must be thrown on top of the Sheargrubs. If exactly this is done, then it is possible that they will fall through the bridge into the water along with the carcass, sometimes sitting on top of it, but will not drown. A similar feat can be pulled off using a [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Yellow_Wollywog Yellow Wollywog], for example in Perplexing Pool, though the beast will remain on top. This occurs from on top of a constructed part of a bridge.</p>
 
<p style="font-size:13px;">Another way in which this can occur is when Pikmin other than [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Pikmin blues] go underneath a bridge while 'swimming', or the bridge is built over them while under it. They may get stuck and will not move or drown until they have been removed from underneath the bridge. For the glitch to work the water must be deep and the bridge close to the water surface, such as the ones in the Awakening Wood near the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Unmarked_Spectralid Flitterbies] or in the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Perplexing_Pool Perplexing Pool] near the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Citadel_of_Spiders Citadel of Spiders].</p>
 
<p style="font-size:13px;">Wollywogs and Yellow Wollywogs can also fall through bridges and get stuck in them in much the same way. This too is rare.</p>
===Two bridge sections===
[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081112185814/pikmin/images/7/74/Shearwigs_eating_bridge.jpg]Pikmin 1 bridge glitchAdded by [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/User:Greenpickle Greenpickle]<p style="font-size:13px;">Very rarely, a bridge can be seen to have two distinct sections, one floating over the water. This occurs when [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Sheargrub Sheargrubs]eat the bridge abnormally. The bridge in[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_1 Pikmin 1]'s [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Distant_Spring Distant Spring] is a good example.</p>
===Carrying through a bridge===
<p style="font-size:13px;">If Pikmin are drowning under a bridge, any idle [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Pikmin Blue Pikmin] on top of the bridge can still save it. The drowning Pikmin appears in the Blue Pikmin's hand as it performs the throwing animation.</p>
===Disappearing Pikmin===
<p style="font-size:13px;">This is a glitch that is seen in both the ''[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/New_Play_Control!_Pikmin New Play Control!]'' and the original version of Pikmin. If Pikmin are whistled from under a certain bridge in [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/The_Forest_Navel The Forest Navel], a few Pikmin die for no reason, indicated by the Pikmin counter, without making a sound. They seem to get pushed under the map and die once they are completely through it as if they fell down a pit.</p>
===Spinning Olimar===
<p style="font-size:13px;">In the New Play Control! version of Pikmin, while walking on a bridge, Olimar's body spins around for no apparent reason, but his head stays still. Trying to fix the camera behind him will make it spin in the direction in which Olimar's body was when the button was pressed.</p>

Glitches (or bugs) are oversights in the making of a game that are caused by unexpected actions the developers didn't think of and lead to unexpected results. Glitches are exclusively a flaw of the game's software. These can be triggered by the player accidentally or on purpose, and can be beneficial, harmful or harmless. Some glitches are abused in order to successfully complete otherwise impossible challenge runs.

There are six articles on this wiki that list glitches in Pikmin games, organized by game:

In addition, there are other pages that go into more detail on certain kinds of glitches:

  • Path oversights details glitches involving the paths Pikmin and leaders take when carrying and following the Go Here! command.
  • Out of bounds details glitches that allow players to access sections of areas not intended to be accessed.
  • Sequence break details glitches that allow tasks to be done out of order or parts of the game to be skipped.
  • Crash details glitches that can cause the game to crash.
