{{spoiler}}
This is a collection of '''[[glitch]]es''' possible in ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]''.

Please read the [[Pikipedia:Glitch notes|glitch notes]] before attempting any of these glitches or before adding your own.

== Out-of-bounds ==
=== Back and Forth Road ===
{{glitch | reproducibility = Medium | danger = Harmless | youtube = USWKm8RYsDY
|effects = Sends [[Captain Olimar]] to a high ledge he shouldn't be able to reach, in [[Back and Forth Road]].
|howto = 
}}
{{game help|hp|Fill in the guide.}}

== Minor ==
=== Delayed eating ===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | danger = Harmless
|effects = Makes a Pikmin get chomped, but continue to live and act like normal, until its death happens a split-second later.
|prereq = Have [[Secret Spot 3]] unlocked, which means having an [[amiibo]] and the ability to scan it.
|howto = On Secret Spot 3, throw a Red Pikmin at the rightmost part of the [[Bouncy Mushroom]] you can reach on the right wall. The Pikmin will go from there to the large mushroom on the left wall, and as it makes its way to the large horizontal mushroom, it will pass under the [[Mockiwi]]'s beak. The Mockiwi will perform its chomping animation, but the Pikmin will continue on its path like normal. It will hit the horizontal mushroom, and bounce on the Mockiwi's head, causing damage. At around this time is also when the Mockiwi's eating animation finishes, so the Pikmin dies.

=== Falling whistle glitch ===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | danger = Harmful
|effects = Makes Captain Olimar float in mid-air during a cutscene, before eventually dropping to the ground, losing one bar of health, and respawning.
|prereq = Have not seen the cutscene where you whistle the Rock Pikmin hiding in a bush in [[Crystal Tunnels]].
|howto = On Crystal Tunnels, go to the section where the [[Grown-Up Cell]] is, but do not whistle the Rock Pikmin hiding behind the bush. Go up to the treasure, collect it, and go near the edge to the left of it. Then, walk off and whistle at the same time. This will cause Olimar to fall down whilst the small cutscene is triggered. When the cutscene is over and the camera zooms out, the glitch will take place.
|notes = This can also be done in the [[Hey! Pikmin#Demo|demo]].
}}

=== High Bouncy Mushroom jump ===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | danger = Harmless | image = Secret Spot 9 super jump.jpg
|effects = Makes Pikmin jump on a Bouncy Mushroom higher than normal during a Secret Spot collection cutscene.
|prereq = Have [[Secret Spot 9]] unlocked, which means having an [[amiibo]] and the ability to scan it.
|howto = Enter Secret Spot 9 and follow the puzzle until you're ready to collect the pellet or amiibo treasure. Instead of going towards it and grabbing it, break the sand block near the object, if you haven't already, and throw Pikmin at the very tip of the platform that it is on. The Pikmin should walk up to the object and grab it from the rightmost point possible. Now you can go grab it. When you do, the Pikmin hanging on to it will let go, run off the platform, run to the Bouncy Mushroom, and jump higher than normal. All this is happening while the collection cutscene is taking place, and the game won't advance to the celebration cutscene until the Pikmin land.
|notes = This may be difficult to do with the Yellow Pikmin, but should be simple with the other two.

=== Sliding Pikmin stuck ===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | danger = Harmless
|effects = Makes Pikmin get temporarily stuck in the falling animation.
|howto = On [[Crystal Tunnels]], go down the starting shaft, and head left, just before the shaft with slope crystals. Stand on the straight floor right before the drop, and look at the blue gems in the ground. Stand on top of the largest one, such that there's around one Olimar-width between you and the edge to the left. Notice the first slope crystal in the fall, wedged on the right side of the wall &ndash; it's consisted of one large crystal and a very small overhang crystal on top of the big one. Now, hold a Pikmin, aim the crosshair at the tip of the small overhang crystal, and release. The Pikmin should bounce on some crystals on the way, and eventually get stuck on the vertical wall of the same big crystal. The Pikmin will eventually get out, but slightly different positioning and throws can make the Pikmin hang on for more or less time.
|notes = This can also be done in the [[Hey! Pikmin#Demo|demo]].
}}

=== Terrain cut-in ===
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | danger = Harmless | image = Scorched Earth pop-in.jpg
|effects = Shows the terrain cut off, and popping in or out.
|howto = Go to [[Scorched Earth]]. Open up the way to the [[Deluxe Something-or-Other]] and climb down the vine that leads to it. Then, climb the vine back up and keep an eye out on the top-right of the top screen. The terrain on that part of the screen extends up a fair bit, but midway through climbing, you should see it cut off from the top, for a bit. As you move on the vine, you'll see more or less be cut off, until it all pops into view when you climb high enough.
