(From my own testing I've found that the Shifted heat haze glitch isn't in the Switch version of Pikmin 2.)

| howto = If the camera is facing towards some fire, and said fire is horizontally centered on-screen, the heat haze will be on top of it like normal. However, if you rotate the camera or move the leader so that the fire is no longer horizontally centered, you'll see the heat haze effect move away from it. It can even disconnect from the fire entirely.

| explanation = This is caused by an oversight while porting the game to Wii. The developers seemingly forgot to adjust the position of the heat haze in relation to the fire when converting the game to the new widescreen mode, thus causing the heat haze to be displaced.
