Glitch

Example of the counter glitch, one of the most well-known ones in Pikmin.

"Bug" redirects here. For creatures in the series, see enemy.

Glitches (or bugs) are oversights in the making of a game that lead to unexpected results, and are exclusively a flaw of the game's software. These can be triggered by the player accidentally or purposely, and can be beneficial, harmful or harmless. Some glitches are abused in order to successfully complete otherwise impossible challenge runs.

There are four 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
• Glitches in Hey! Pikmin

In addition, there is one page that details general glitches about the paths Pikmin and leaders take when carrying and following the Go Here! command: path oversights.

It is recommended that you read the glitch notes before attempting any of these glitches, or before adding your own.
