| effects = Makes a Pikmin vanish instantly by being compressed against the ground.
| effects = Compresses a Pikmin through the ground, killing it when it touches the [[pit]].
| howto = When battling an enemy and its corpse falls to the ground, there is a chance that nearby Pikmin will mysteriously vanish without leaving a [[spirit]] or making a sound. There are several enemies that have this happen more frequently than others, and it also happens with more regularity when [[Group move|swarming]] enemies rather than [[throw]]ing Pikmin at them. It can also happen with [[pellet]]s.
| howto = When battling an enemy, there is a chance that some Pikmin will mysteriously vanish without leaving a [[spirit]] or making a sound. There are several enemies where this happens, but the most common are [[Wollywog]]s, [[Red Bulborb]]s, and the similar enemies. It also happens with more regularity when [[Group move|swarming]] enemies rather than [[throw]]ing Pikmin at them, and it's more likely to happen the more Pikmin are used. It can also happen after combat, when the enemy is falling, and with [[pellet]]s.
| notes = The glitch usually happens when swarming Wollywogs, Bulborbs, Bulbears, and the Puffstool. This glitch is also more frequent in the [[New Play Control! Pikmin|''New Play Control!'' version]]. It can also happen in [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Crushing glitch|''Pikmin 2'']]. This behavior may have been intentional at one point in the game; some [[Pikmin prerelease information|prerelease footage]] shows Pikmin being killed by a Yellow Wollywog corpse.

| explanation = When falling down, enemies will push any nearby Pikmin downwards and to the side. If the collision is precise enough, there's a chance that the downward push will be too strong and the Pikmin falls through the ground, where it dies shortly after.
