Mistake: Difference between revisions

{{game icons|p=y|p2=y|p3=y|hp=y|pa=y}}

At times, when making a game, development members may commit a '''mistake'''. Most of the time, these errors are detected by the quality assurance team, whose job is to play-test the game in search for such mistakes, so that they can be corrected. However, it's possible for some errors to go by undetected, or to not get fixed in time, meaning the final game is released with them still in it. For the most part, these aren't enough to affect gameplay or the game's story. In popular culture, they are also known as '''goofs'''. In the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], there are cases of typos, grammatical errors, [[glitches]], ways to go [[out of bounds]], and inconsistencies.

*In the [[Awakening Wood]], there's a branch far out of bounds to the east of the [[Blue Onion]] that remains as the tallest piece of level geometry besides the [[Snagret Hole]]'s tree. This branch is missing triangles on the bottom, making it look like it's floating in the air from some angles. By going to the [[Bulblax Kingdom]]'s plot and switching the camera to ground level view to look at the branch, the player can see this mistake more clearly.

* The scientific names for the [[Fiery Blowhog]] (''Sus draconus'') and the [[Watery Blowhog]] (''Sus loogiens'') indicate they are different species, despite Olimar's comments on the latter stating that it is a subspecies of the former.

*The [[Slapstick Crescent]] is a banana. In real life, most modern-day bananas, primary Cavendish, are seedless and sterile, having been specially bred for human consumption; logically, collecting the fruit would serve no purpose for the [[Koppai]]te's mission, as they would be unable to extract any seeds from it. Despite this, the fruit is still a requirement for the all-fruits ending, implying that they somehow were able to extract viable seeds from it.

* If the player character is inside of some creatures when they are [[frozen]], a display will appear telling the player they can [[mash]] {{button|switch|b}} to thrash and escape. This is only true for the [[Foolix]], but will still appear for other enemies, despite the fact that doing that has no effect.

After the debt is repaid in ''Pikmin 2'', the [[Hocotate Ship]] changes from a rusty red color to gold. Despite this, when the ship is seen in ''Pikmin 3'', it is instead its original red color.
