**If the [[Volatile Dweevil]] on the Piklopedia is petrified just before exploding, that causes a freeze in the Japanese version, but [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Volatile Dweevil suicide|kills the creature]] in the overseas releases.

*In the US and European versions, the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Wistful Wild|Wistful Wild sunset theme]]'s melody was changed to use flutes instead of a music box. This only lasts for one loop though, before the game uses the music box like in the Japanese version. Interestingly, none of the ''New Play Control!'' versions of the game have this melody change, and they all use the music box like the Japanese GameCube version.

*On the [[Menu#Saved game selection|saved game selection menu]], there are two labels explaining what {{button|gc|x|gc|y}} do. The buttons are represented with the normal letters "X" and "Y" inside bubbles, while the US and European versions use the GameCube button icons. For the {{npcp2}} versions, the {{button|wii|1}} and {{button|wii|2}} icons are similar between all versions, but a bit simpler in the Japanese version.


It is worth pointing out that some of the [[:Category:Europe-only treasures|European exclusive treasures]]' descriptions are notably weaker than that of the remaining treasures. This is due to the numerous typos on [[Olimar's journal]] and the [[sales pitch]]es, as well as the arguably confusing English. These problems were later spotted by Nintendo, and some were resolved for the [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|''New Play Control!'' release]], in the form of typo fixes and [[Plentiful Tank|full rewrites]].
