Talk:Glitches in Pikmin 4

i have no idea how to make a talk page so hopefully this works

oops

disregard this talk page this was made by accident after a misunderstanding

I may have found a new glitch

When i was replaying pikmin 4 I used an ultra spicy spray and while the oatchi rush was fully charge the spray ended and I cancelled / did the rush and then the speed bonus was kept 90.208.166.109 13:51, September 3, 2024 (EDT)

Another way to do the Flying Oatchi glitch

I don't know how to do it again, but it would be huge for challenge runs. https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin_serious/s/ida4TFUVdT

Strange Sound Glitch

While I Was Playing Dandori Battle, I Knocked Out Moss, But Olimar Looked Sad But The Sounds Is Olimar Being Happy. Is This Some Kind Of A Minor Glitch? 153.238.200.128 00:25, November 17, 2024 (EST)

Do you have any footage/audio of it? Whether or not something is happy or sad is quite subjective, so perhaps you just interpreted it in an unintended way. I doubt it's actually a glitch, but it's probably not impossible for some sound glitch like that to happen. There are definitely people who'd know better than me with that kind of stuff; maybe one of them can help. Deeb1324354657 (talk) 00:29, November 17, 2024 (EST)

I agree with what Deeb said; it may just have been a misinterpretation. But if you have a way of replicating it and uploading a screen recording, that would be definitely useful. Dolphinius (talk) 05:14, November 17, 2024 (EST)

About the negative Pikmin numbers glitch

Currently, the reproducibility is labeled as "Easy". However, to do the glitch, you have to either beat the game, or beat the Trial of the Sage Leaf, 2 of the hardest things in the game. So maybe it should be bumped up to "Medium". Or maybe not, since that's all you have to do.

Also, the consequences is labeled as "Harmful". I labeled it that since the thing that shows your stats no longer does that. However, it's just visual, so maybe it should be bumped down to "Harmless". What are your thoughts? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mama09001 • (talk) • (contribs) October 12^th, 2026

Looking at Pikipedia:Glitch notes, it states that the reproducibility section is how hard the glitch can be reproduced based on the how to steps. This is separate from the prerequisites, which states indirectly that the game/ToTSL is to be beaten.

Whilst I haven't done this glitch before, I think its reproducibility rating should be based on the how to steps, rather than the set up itself. Other glitches that function similar, as in the game has to be played for a while before the glitch can be done, don't take into account this, so it would also seem an outlier to do it with just the one.

For the consequences, it is only cosmetic from what I'm reading, so harmless should be fine. If this glitch causes the player to physically lose Pikmin, then it should be bumped to harmful. – Chazmatron, signing off! (TALK) 17:43, 12 October, 2026 (GMT)

The thing is, while beating The White Key once is the prerequisite, beating it again is the whole "how to". Mama09001 (talk) 17:32, October 12, 2026 (UTC)

Actually yeah that's a good point. I haven't played the challenge for a while, but I remember it being, not easy but not hard. Maybe it should be one above from easy. The rating is subjective, so either works I suppose. – Chazmatron, signing off! (TALK) 20:42, 12 October, 2026 (GMT)
