| notes = The needle gets fixed when the leader transition ends, and the coloring gets fixed when you pause again, or when you leave the area or the game. There are {{frames|2}} frames in which pressing the leader button will trigger the glitch, and these are the first frames in which changing is possible after an unpause. If an [[Antenna Beetle]] is present, the gauge will have the needle pointing up, and will not have the purple effect, but when the needle gets unfrozen, the purple effect starts and the gauge starts acting normal.

===Floating cherry===

| effects = Makes a cherry float and go to an Onion by itself.

| howto = Go into 2-Player Battle mode. Have a Pikmin grab a [[Cupid's Grenade|cherry]] near a dead enemy's carcass. The Pikmin will grab the cherry and start to take it right through the carcass. The Pikmin will get stuck in front of the carcass, walking endlessly until the cherry enters the Onion. Meanwhile, the cherry will continue to move without any Pikmin carrying it.

| howto = Cause a drop of nectar, such as one from a petrified enemy, to fall on top of a pile of sticks used to build a bridge. If the sticks are removed from under the drop by building the bridge, the drop will remain suspended in the air. Pikmin can be made to drink the nectar by throwing them at it, and they will fall back to the ground once the nectar is all used up. A good place to do this is in [[Awakening Wood]] with a [[Yellow Wollywog]] near the bridges.

| explanation = The bomb-rock and the creature must count as two different objects. They also react to the petrification at different times. With the right timing, their petrifications can be desynchronized.

{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Harmless | p2 = No | npcp2 = Yes | image = P2 shifted heat haze.jpg | icaption = Demonstration of the glitch. The [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s behind the [[fire geyser]] aren't distorted, but the [[Clover]] to the right of it is.

| prerequisites = Have the [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|Wii version]] of the game run in widescreen mode.

===Stuck paper bag===

| effects = Makes the first paper bag in the [[Valley of Repose]] stuck until the day is over. It'll act as it if were closed, i.e. it can still be passed through, although the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]] will stay on top of it when moved there.

| howto = Start a new [[Saved game|save file]] and work your way until you have enough Pikmin to put down the first [[paper bag]]. Throw the required number of Pikmin but one onto the bag. When you throw the last one, call the Pikmin to either leader's side just as the Pikmin lands on the bag. Until you get the exact timing, it's better to whistle too early rather than too late, because if you whistle too late, the cutscene will start and you'll have to restart the save file to try again, whereas whistling too early makes the Pikmin come to you, and you can try again right away. If you timed it right, there's a chance the Pikmin will move out of the bag, and the latter will stay in place, but the reunion cutscene will still occur. Olimar and Louie will pass through the paper bag, and it'll be stuck in this state until the day ends.

| notes = With incredible luck, it is also possible to have the "You appear to be stuck" cutscene interrupt the paper bag's deflation, which also triggers the glitch.

| notes = Once the ship start speaking, the Pikmin will pause though.

| Some obstacles (such as the [[paper bag]]s) are surrounded by invisible walls to prevent the player from throwing Pikmin to the other side of the obstacle. However, even after crushing the obstacle in question, the invisible walls do not disappear. This glitch can also be reproduced with the [[cardboard box]]es in ''Pikmin''. || || || || {{cite youtube|Laba7Tj4QGA|showing the invisible walls.}}

| With a widescreen setup, during the cutscene where [[Louie]] runs away from the Red Pikmin he just plucked, when he leaves the screen from the left and re-enters it shortly after, it is possible to see him zip into scene very quickly for a split-second. || No || Yes || Yes ||  

| By entering the hole to the next sublevel at the same time the [[Waterwraith]] would appear for the first time, the Waterwraith's cutscene will start, but only with the rollers and without the creature proper. It will also have no music or sound effects. || || || || {{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/lkvhvl/waterwraith_cutscene_glitch_by_going_into_hole/|Waterwraith cutscene glitch by going into hole right as Waterwraith appeared.
