(→‎Misc.: Noted a glitch I encountered twice. I knew for sure it wasnt my imagination, as I saw a ghost and the counter go down each time, which should be impossible in the tutorial. I got the game after 2.0, meaning it's in at least that version.)

|notes = Bomb rocks can be used and still have the glitch work, just as long as you don't fully destroy the wall{{cite youtube|0nxKz1HDSvs|of the Tremendous Sniffer being taken out with the wall still up|m=12|s=43}}{{cite youtube|tvRDhM-frWE|of the Tremendous Sniffer being retrieved with the wall still up|m=2|s=0}}. The fruit will clip through the wall for a tiny bit. If you use a Yellow Pikmin and want to rescue it, make sure it's in a leader's group when the day ends. The Pikmin become idle if they can't get close to the leader for a few seconds, so if you want to end the day manually, make sure to whistle them and end the day right after.

|explanation = The game keeps track of where the fruit is. Instead of saving exact coordinates, it might only save the "general" location. If the fruit is not touched, its "general location" is considered inside the alcove. If it gets too close to the gate, the location starts being considered the open space outside the alcove. When it loads the next day, it places the fruit in the vague location it had saved the previous day. Alternately, the game might save the exact location, but due to the carrying, the pear gets slightly embedded against the wall, and when the game loads a new day, it attempts to spawn the fruit in the same place, but to prevent it from clipping, it pushes it off and outside the wall.

===Dirt wall glitch===
{{game help|p3|Find out if this works on other dirt walls, and provide a video of the glitch in action.}}
{{glitch | reproducibility = Low | danger = Harmful | versionmin = ? | versionmax = 2.0.0 | image = | youtube = |
|effects = Pikmin clipping through the dirt wall in the cave near [[Alph]]'s crash site, instantly dying in the abyss.
|howto = On day 1, approach the dirt wall inside the cave one must pass through to reach the [[Drake]]. Throw many Pikmin near one of its columns, and a Pikmin may clip through the ground and die.
|notes = This is the only way Pikmin can die in the tutorial, as they aren't supposed to. If it repeatedly happens, a Pikmin extinction can occur, which may cause broken game behavior. Doing so is very difficult, however, since the glitch is hard to reproduce and only one Pikmin is known to die at a time from it.
|explanation = The sharp wedge of the Dirt wall might cause Pikmin to clip through, especially when they are pushing eachother apart to make space. It is unknown why all cases are from the one specific wall, but it could be due to its different placement.
