Example of the counter glitch, one of the most well-known ones in Pikmin.
Glitches (or bugs) are oversights in the making of a game that lead to unexpected results. These can happen accidentally or purposely, and can be beneficial, harmful or harmless to the player. Some glitches are abused in order to successfully complete otherwise impossible challenge runs. Note: Easter eggs are not glitches, and are intended.
There are three pages that list glitches in games in the series, organized by game:
- Glitches in Pikmin (and New Play Control! Pikmin)
- Glitches in Pikmin 2 (and New Play Control! Pikmin 2)
- Glitches in Pikmin 3
In addition, there is one page that details general carrying-related glitches: carrying oversights.
It is recommended that you read the glitch notes before attempting any of these glitches, or before adding your own.
