This is not the case if the Pikmin to throw is in front of Olimar, or is far away from him. Every once in a while, the game will enter a state for {{frames|1|y}} frame where it will reject the throw if the player presses the button on that frame. In the GameCube game, this happens every {{frames|11|y}} frames, though sometimes it's every {{frames|10|y}} frames instead, and in the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' release, it's roughly every {{frames|3|y}} frames, with the periodic break of {{frames|20|y}} frames where the glitch won't happen.{{cite youtube|9uOnWMzhMh0|showing how Olimar can fail to throw, and how various actions like whistling do not fix the problem|published={{date|20|July|2020}}|retrieved={{date|22|July|2020}}}} | ||
In {{p3d}}, if the player holds a non-[[bomb rock]] Pikmin, then swaps types while holding until they select bomb rocks, throwing that Pikmin and then quickly pressing the throw button again will make the game swap to the next type, causing the player to hold or even throw a non-bomb rock Pikmin.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/EspyoPT/status/1333845362050625536|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|1|December|2020}}|retrieved={{date|1|December|2020}}}} Care should be taken as to not throw unarmed Pikmin into an active bomb. Giving a small pause between the next throw, or simply swapping to bomb rocks without holding a Pikmin allows the player to throw several bombs without this risk. | In {{p3d}}, if the player holds a non-[[bomb rock]] Pikmin, then swaps types while holding until they select bomb rocks, throwing that Pikmin and then quickly pressing the throw button again will make the game swap to the next type, causing the player to hold or even throw a non-bomb rock Pikmin.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/EspyoPT/status/1333845362050625536|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|1|December|2020}}|retrieved={{date|1|December|2020}}}} Care should be taken as to not throw unarmed Pikmin into an active bomb.
