Glitches in Pikmin 3: Difference between revisions

| If the player has Pikmin carrying bomb rocks and brings them to the [[Medusal Slurker]]'s hole in [[Tropical Wilds]], the bomb rocks will turn invisible. The bomb rocks function normally, and upon exiting the cave, they will become visible again. || Yes || ? || [[:File:Invisible bomb rock.jpg|Image]]

| When playing on [[Rusted Labyrinth]], the angle of the [[iron ball]]'s lighting will be based off of player 1's [[camera]], for both screens. This can be seen by having player 2 look at the iron ball, and having player 1 rotate the camera – the highlight will move around the ball on player 2's screen. || Yes || ? ||

| Throwing Pikmin onto a small pile of fragments that is almost gone (3 out of 30 should be fine), the Pikmin will float on top of the pile. Likely a hitbox error. || Yes || ? ||  

| By [[Throw#Holding|holding on]] to a leader or Pikmin while on the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]]'s arena and walking about, the trajectory prediction curve will occasionally change to a tight curve with an endpoint far below the surface. At this point, throwing will result in the leader or Pikmin to perform their trajectory very quickly. This is likely because the game adjusts the throw's velocity according to the distance, which in this case, is assumed to be quite far away (underground). || Yes || Yes ||  

| If a leader is [[throw|holding]] a non-Winged Pikmin while on top of a [[seesaw block]], one extra unit of weight will be applied on the block, for an unknown reason. This does not happen with elevator platforms. || Yes || ? ||  

| It is possible to kill off all Pikmin in Charlie's segment of day 1. Before the first row of [[Spotcap]]s, on the rightmost wall (facing the Spotcaps), there is a nook where the wall before it has some ice on top, and the wall after it does not. The player can position Charlie against this nook, turn around, [[throw|hold]] Pikmin such that they are inside the nook, and [[whistle]] to release the Pikmin inside. There is actually no floor there, so the Pikmin will fall through and die. Though nothing happens when all of them die, if the player does this before destroying any of the Spotcaps or Kingcaps in the second row, they will be [[softlock|unable to proceed]]. || Yes || ? ||  

| By throwing a Rock Pikmin at the base of a [[Flukeweed]] that contains a [[nectar egg]], it's possible for the egg to break and drop its contents on the surface, without the player having to pluck the Flukeweed out. || Yes || ? || [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7ZdZ5DRFeg YouTube video]

| While playing through the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] mission, it's possible for the cursor for player two as Brittany to be colored all pink like normal, except for the sphere in the center, which will be blue. This happens for when the cursor is not on top of a target (i.e. on the ground). || Yes || Unknown || [[:File:Brittany blue cursor.jpg|Image]]

| It is possible to lose Pikmin on the first [[day]]. When taking down the [[dirt wall]], Pikmin that are [[throw]]n at it can end up going [[Pit|out of bounds]] and die. || Yes || Unknown || [https://web.archive.org/web/20171016102533/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkY0bFAOA Miiverse post]

| At times, when entering the hollow tree with the [[Medusal Slurker]] that has a [[Juicy Gaggle]] inside of it on the [[Tropical Wilds]], Pikmin that come with the leader will attach to the fruit while it is still inside the creature. The [[HUD#Fraction numbers|carrying numbers]] will appear, and the Pikmin will remain grabbing on until called. This glitch might only happen if the Pikmin are [[throw]]n onto the hole that leads inside the stump. || Yes || Unknown || [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIDk3EEkIgE YouTube video], [[:File:Pikmin latched to Medusal Slurker.jpg|image]]

| A Rock Pikmin can get stuck on the Quaggled Mireclop's corpse in days after the fight. It cannot be whistled into the group or removed from this state. || Yes || Unknown || [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXAolVMa3QU YouTube video]

| If a Pikmin following a leader falls into water the exact moment the leader enters a cave, the Pikmin can start drowning and flying without water. || Yes || Unknown || [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B-9AZsKGEQ YouTube video]

| While on the [[Twilight River]] cave with the three [[Juicy Gaggle]]s, it is possible for that section of the area to unload, which makes the leader fall through the stage. They can reappear at the path to the Scornet Maestro. || Yes || Unknown || [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTtrsHSofE8 YouTube video]

| The game can freeze a couple of seconds after the first [[cardboard box]] is pushed. || Yes || Unknown || [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFwxSscnt-4&t=3h25m21s YouTube video]

| If the player gathers their first batch of ten [[ultra-spicy spray]] berries while transitioning into the [[Scornet Maestro]]'s fight, it is possible for the game to not give the player their first spicy spray dosage. When enough berries have been gathered for a second dosage, the [[HUD]] updates, showing the correct amount. || Yes || Unknown || [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/712544695 Twitch clip]

| It is possible for Pikmin to carry an object back to its original spot, and then return to their normal route. || Yes || Unknown || [https://clips.twitch.tv/OddEvilCourgetteCoolCat Twitch clip]

| It is possible for a Red Pikmin to stay under the Onion and not move. Whistling it will bring it to attention and get it to pause, indicating it's in a state where it's working on a task. || Unknown || Yes || [https://twitter.com/QuoteBalrog/status/1327350552561287168 Twitter video]

| When throwing Pikmin at the ledges in the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]]'s arena, it is possible for Pikmin to hit the corner of a ledge and bounce high in the air. || Unknown || Yes || [https://clips.twitch.tv/SoftResilientHornetPJSalt Twitch clip] [https://clips.twitch.tv/PiliableWonderfulWeaselOSsloth (2) (language warning)]
