| howto = When battling an enemy, there is a chance that some Pikmin will mysteriously vanish without leaving a [[soul]] or making a sound. There are several enemies where this happens, but the most common are [[Wollywog]]s, [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]s, and the Puffstool, which can kill up to 30 Pikmin when its cap falls on top of them. It also happens with more regularity when [[swarm]]ing enemies rather than [[throw]]ing Pikmin at them, and it is more likely to happen the more Pikmin are used.

This behavior may have been intentional at one point in the game; some [[Pikmin prerelease information|prerelease footage]] shows Pikmin being killed by a Yellow Wollywog corpse. Other enemies can also be killed in this way.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/PlacidHeartlessPastaDancingBaby-lQFg37qShCim_TyX|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|7|October|2021}}|retrieved={{date|10|October|2021}}}}. | ||
| explanation = During combat, Pikmin get pushed around by the enemy and its hitboxes in various directions. At times, some Pikmin might be pushed downward and outwards, but there is more force driving them downwards than forwards (for instance, if other Pikmin are keeping them from sliding off). If the force is too great, the Pikmin is pushed through the ground, where it falls and dies. | | explanation = During combat, Pikmin get pushed around by the enemy and its hitboxes in various directions.

| howto = Take any non-Blue Pikmin and either toss it into the water or just run into the water with it, thus causing it to drown. If you whistle and run into the Pikmin, the Pikmin may then restart its drowning sequence, which allows it to stay in the water for an extended period of time. This can be repeated for as many times necessary. The Pikmin will still drown eventually if they are not called to shore or if the glitch is unrepeated. | | howto = Take any non-Blue Pikmin and either toss it into the water or just run into the water with it, thus causing it to drown.

| howto = Lure a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]] or [[Spotty Bulbear]] into a place where you can get on a platform that's roughly its height, and have it stay on ground lower than you; the erratic height platforms near [[The Distant Spring]]'s landing site work well here. Get close to it so that it'll lunge forward. When it misses, quickly climb on its back. You can influence which way the creature should go by standing on its edge, in that direction. It will attempt to bite you several times by lunging forward; try to avoid falling off.

| explanation = Bulborbs and Bulbears have tall hitboxes, of course. The top of these hitboxes makes for something like solid ground, and there's no problem in this, seeing as Olimar is never meant to go on top of them. It's still possible to ride on them by going to certain ledges. The fact that a Bulborb's eating lunge throws them very far forward, even partially through the walls, allows Olimar passage to their tops. | | explanation = Bulborbs and Bulbears have tall hitboxes, of course.

| explanation = The corner the bridge makes with the ground is just too sharp, making collision detection with the floor harder to do correctly. The bridge keeps pushing Pikmin down as they walk towards the angle, and because the floor's hitbox is just a plane, not a bulky prism, it gives in to letting Pikmin go through it more easily than the bridge does. | | explanation = The corner the bridge makes with the ground is just too sharp, making collision detection with the floor harder to do correctly.
