The glitch happens in both the Gamecube and Wii version and isn't really necessary in that section.

Mushroom Pikmin will attack [[Captain Olimar]] and any unaffected Pikmin. The effect will wear off in a short time, but more instantaneous remedies can also be used. Tossing a single Pikmin next to a Mushroom Pikmin will result in a small scuffle between the two, after which the enslaved Pikmin is knocked back to its senses and rejoins your army; using more Pikmin than necessary will more than likely kill the creature, counting towards your total number of Pikmin lost. A much safer strategy is attract the attention of multiple Mushroom Pikmin with your captain, then shake them off when they attack, instantly curing them without the risk of killing them. You can also get rid of the mushroom effect by killing the Puffstool or throwing them into water. | Mushroom Pikmin will attack [[Captain Olimar]] and any unaffected Pikmin.

To quickly dispatch the Puffstool, bring about 80 [[Red Pikmin]] into its arena. First swarm its legs with about 30 Pikmin. It will try to run away, but flip over, legs flailing. | To quickly dispatch the Puffstool, bring about 80 [[Red Pikmin]] into its arena. First swarm its legs with about 30 Pikmin. It will try to run away, but flip over, legs flailing. It will also crush most of those underneath, but in this state you can kill it by throwing all remaining Pikmin on top. It will die, and appear to deflate, leaving a large circle that can be carried by 10 Pikmin if in story mode. | ||
To minimize the risk of losing Pikmin, it is recommended to attack only with the [[captain]]. Furthermore, the Puffstool has no attacks that could harm Olimar. Note, however, that this may consume a fair amount of time, and as the sporing habits of the Puffstool are fully predictable, having Pikmin turned into mushroom-Pikmin is usually not a problem for competent players. | To minimize the risk of losing Pikmin, it is recommended to attack only with the [[captain]].
