{{ glitch | reproducibility = Medium | consequences = Helpful | other = [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/301856447279398913/1134730836839768075/IMG_1810.mov Discord video]
| effects = Allows you to clone Pikmin, as well as go over the 100 [[Pikmin limit]].
| prerequisites = Be in a cave sublevel with a [[Candypop Bud]] in it, and have Pikmin of that same type.
| howto = Throw 5 Pikmin of the Candypop Bud's type into it. It will spit out the 5 [[seed]]s back and open up again to allow more Pikmin. During this opening sequence, throw more Pikmin at it. Eventually, some of them will be considered inside the Candypop Bud and ready for conversion, while in reality they actually slid off the flower and are in the sublevel with you. As a result, when the Candypop Bud spits out more seeds, it will include some extras because of the Pikmin it thinks it managed to take in. By repeating this over and over, the extras will eventually pile up and can break the Pikmin limit. This glitch is easiest to perform with Purple Pikmin.
| notes = Only 120 Pikmin will follow you/hop on Oatchi at a time. While performing the glitch the inverse can also happen, in that Pikmin that successfully went inside the Candypop Bud won't be accounted for, meaning you can lose Pikmin if your timing is off.

| effects = Makes [[Winged Pikmin]] fly off without stopping. Also randomly makes a crystal nodule break for no reason.

| howto = [[Throw]] or [[charge]] a few Winged Pikmin at a [[crystal nodule]]. If you use too many, the crystal might break by itself. Some of the Pikmin will hover above the obstacle, and some will fly off in whatever direction they were moving at a random moment. When the crystal breaks, those Pikmin will return to being idle like normal, but they may be too far [[out of bounds]] to be easily accessed.

| effects = Allows you to clone [[Purple Pikmin]], as well as go over the 100 Pikmin limit.
| prerequisites = Have unlocked Purple Pikmin, and any cave that has purple [[Candypop Bud]]s in it.
| howto = Find a cave with purple Candypop Buds in it (Easiest to do in [[Engulfed Castle]], but make sure you have some Blue Pikmin in order to make the Candypop Buds spawn.), then start throwing your Purple Pikmin into it. If the number of Pikmin on the field increases, that means Purple Pikmin have been successfuly cloned.
| notes = This glitch is more consistent if you have more Purple Pikmin. Only 120 Pikmin will follow you/hop on Oatchi at a time.
