-| howto = At the [[Twilight River]] have one captain walk across the river with no [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in the area with the [[Water Dumple]]. Once near the lily pad, have the captain walk in the corner of the rock to the left of it and the lily pad. If done correctly, the captain will begin to phase through the rock. Walk onto the brown land area, and the captain will fall down into an abyss. They will later respawn on the side of the river with the Winged Pikmin's [[Onion]]. From there, switch to the other captain, and have them throw across some Pikmin, preferably [[Rock Pikmin]], to free the Onion from the [[Arachnode]]'s web. Throw some in the water, and then switch to the other captain so that they can call them to the other shore.

-| notes = In [[Pikmin 3 updates|version 1.0]], the captain takes no damage if they fall in. However, in version 1.3, they take damage equal to 1/3 of their total health. This is because version 1.4 introduced actual bottomless pits in the [[Clockwork Chasm]] stage. The out of bounds area used in this trick counts as out of bounds, and whenever a captain fall into one, they lose health. Even though the bridge is skipped, it is recommended to build it eventually to allow easy retrieval of items.

-| explanation = Between two objects is a little bit of "dead space." This space is used to prevent the player from accidentally phasing through the rocks. However, this dead space can still be accessed if done intentionally. The captain's walking animation will eventually run into the space, allowing them to freely explore inside the rocks and whatnot.
+| explanation = Collision detection algorithms should be simple, in order to not overload the console, specially for things as trivial as scenery objects such as rocks. It is possible that the gap between the rocks angles inwards, and when the leader attempts to move between them, each wall pushes them in opposite directions, which results in no lateral movement. The forward movement, however, is still enough to move the leader forwards (considering there are no collision forces stopping them efficiently on that direction), so they slowly make progress forward, until they no longer collide with the geometry and go through.
