It seems to happen most often when Pikmin die with unconventional ways, especially by being killed by the [[Smoky Progg]]'s smoke trail. It also happens with some frequency with deaths caused by [[The Forest Navel]]'s [[Pit|abysses]], and when several Pikmin die at once. Finally, it can also be related to some bridge glitches. | ||
| explanation = Some of the possible Pikmin deaths must override the standard "killing" procedure. When certain, as of now unknown circumstances happen, the code will not handle deaths the normal way, and the Pikmin counter won't be updated correctly. | | explanation = Some of the possible Pikmin deaths must override the standard "killing" procedure.

The exact amount of contact with the wall depends, and some surfaces (especially when they aren't perfectly vertical) work better than others. If you need help, check some speedrunning and challenge videos, as this trick is commonly used in such runs. | ||
| notes = This glitch can also happen in [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#High ledge trick|''Pikmin 2'']]. In ''New Play Control! Pikmin'', the cursor must be placed so that it is at the longest possible distance or beyond. This gives the throw enough force to perform the glitch. | | notes = This glitch can also happen in [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#High ledge trick|''Pikmin 2'']]. In ''New Play Control!

| explanation = Some energy from the throw cannot be transfered horizontally, as there's a wall, so instead it gets transferred vertically. It also helps that some tilted surfaces make thrown Pikmin slide up, given their incline. | | explanation = Some energy from the throw cannot be transfered horizontally, as there's a wall, so instead it gets transferred vertically.
