Glitches in Hey! Pikmin

This is a collection of glitches possible in Hey! Pikmin.

Please read the glitch notes before attempting any of these glitches or before adding your own.

Gameplay

 * Pikmin that are hanging on to a vine cannot drown. This can be seen, for instance, in Pollution Pool. After getting the first four Red Pikmin, and crossing the first set of Seeding Dandelions, gather the Pikmin and climb into the vine nearby, lowering yourself into the water. The Pikmin will follow Captain Olimar and go underwater, without any adverse effect. They can stay there forever, but if you let go of the vine, they will instantly start drowning.

Aesthetic

 * If the floor level changes while Captain Olimar is climbing up a ledge, he will perform the animation higher or lower than the ledge proper. This can be reproduced easily at the start of Drenchnozzle Den, by holding to the right against the wall while the first jet of water is rising up.
 * Activating a cutscene right before Olimar sounds his whistle will cause the glow on his antenna to stay indefinitely, or until his whistle is blown again.
