Glitches in Pikmin 2: Difference between revisions

=== Gameplay ===

! Glitch || ''Pikmin 2'' || ''New Play Control!'' || Switch || Demonstration

| If a Purple Pikmin is thrown at a [[gate]] while very close to the gate, and is thrown at full force, it will go through and attack from the other side. || || || || {{cite youtube|ttD6A9eA5Rw|showing Purple Pikmin being thrown through a gate}}

| Some obstacles (such as the [[paper bag]]s) are surrounded by invisible walls to prevent the player from throwing Pikmin to the other side of the obstacle. However, even after crushing the obstacle in question, the invisible walls do not disappear. This glitch can also be reproduced with the [[cardboard box]]es in ''Pikmin''. || || || || {{cite youtube|Laba7Tj4QGA|showing the invisible walls.}}

| When Pikmin walk through a petrified [[Hermit Crawmad]], without being issued to attack it, the creature will start taking damage, and can even be killed this way. || || || || {{cite youtube|MzeJOjgWSxQ|of petrified Hermit Crawmads suffering damage without being attacked}}

| If a Hermit Crawmad is petrified on land during its lunge attack, and is then dragged to the water, it will create the water splash effect even though it's not moving. If the enemy is killed in this state, the effect will stay there until the player exits the area or sublevel. || || || || {{cite youtube|tmr9s1tGKdg|of a petrified Hermit Crawmad leaving the water splash trail behind}}

| Quitting a cave while Pikmin have been taken by a [[Candypop Bud]], but before the new seeds are expelled, will make the Pikmin vanish. This will decrease the total Pikmin count, but won't increase the death counter. || || || || {{cite youtube|2G0Wk5LdIPU|showing a cave escape when the Pikmin have been taken by a Candypop Bud}}

| If Pikmin in a leader A's group touches [[fire]], or any other hazard, they will be burning up without technically leaving leader A's group. In this state, if leader B whistles leader A, this will count as all of leader A's Pikmin getting whistled, meaning that the Pikmin's fire will be put out, regardless of how far away that Pikmin is, and the fact that the whistle wasn't anywhere close to them. || || || || {{cite youtube|v7JE5_uuqDc|showing how it's possible to whistle a leader in order to save all of that leader's Pikmin}}

| Petrifying a [[bomb rock]] just as it is about to blow up will make it disappear without harm. || || || || {{cite youtube|Tt-oXztIb5w|of a bomb rock disappearing by being petrified just as it was going to blow up}}

| Killing a petrified [[Mamuta]] that had an [[Unmarked Spectralids]] resting on top of it, and then leaving the scene will make the Spectralids return to its original position, and land in mid-air. || || || || {{cite youtube|QDGe9OZ661Q|of a Spectralids returning to where a Mamuta was, and standing in mid-air}}

| Petrifying an [[Emperor Bulblax]] as it is jumping, and then killing it in mid-air will cause the body to vanish, the health wheel to stay there, and a sound to repeat over and over. Similarly, petrifying a Female Sheargrub as it is unearthing and killing it will cause the same effect. || || || || {{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/ElegantAmusedUdonPupper|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|23|June|2018}}|retrieved={{date|23|June|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/200128597539684353/451915705588121600/20180531_200759.mp4|Video of an Emperor Bulblax that disappeared with 0 health remaining, by The JustGreat Minty Meeo|Discord|published={{date|1|June|2018}}|retrieved={{date|1|June|2018}}}}{{cite youtube|EO1QknAX-P0|of a Female Sheargrub getting petrified as it digs out of the ground|published={{date|14|July|2019}}|retrieved={{date|14|July|2019}}}}

| Surrounding a Wollywog in a large group of Pikmin can make it unable to decide which Pikmin to attack for several seconds. || || || || {{cite youtube|6vvTvFOTuXA|of a Wollywog surrounded by Pikmin refusing to attack|published={{date|5|June|2018}}|retrieved={{date|13|June|2018}}}}

| If a leader is [[throw|holding]] a Purple Pikmin on top of a [[seesaw block]], the Pikmin's weight will go from 10 to 2. || || || ||

| A Pikmin that is drowning will be unable to be eaten. On top of that, when an enemy tries to eat it, it will just reset the Pikmin's drowning timer. || || || || {{cite web|https://twitter.com/fuji_luck/status/1079358787713097728|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|30|December|2018}}|retrieved={{date|9|February|2019}}}}

| Pikmin can go through the wall in the first sublevel of [[Snagret Hole]]. If the player throws the Pikmin at the root opposite the entrance to the ramp going up, the Pikmin can go through and fall [[out of bounds]]. || || || || {{cite youtube|sA_c9lX3ReY|of Pikmin being thrown at the gap in the wall|published={{date|7|October|2019}}|retrieved={{date|7|October|2019}}}}

| If a [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]] spawns from the sky and lands on top of an [[Antenna Beetle]], it will only fall to the ground once the Beetle is completely off-screen, even if visually it already left its spot. || || || || {{cite youtube|7WjrSvQ3fqo|of a Dwarf Orange Bulborb falling on an Antenna Beetle|published={{date6|April|2023}}|retrieved={{date|10|April|2023}}}}

| For unknown reasons, during the treasure collection [[cutscene]], if the Pikmin carrying the treasure are in range to automatically join the active [[leader]]'s [[squad]], they will occasionally instead try to run back to where the treasure was originally located, be it from where it was originally sitting, or where it was dropped from an enemy. Bizarrely, this tends to happen only on [[Cavern of Chaos#Sublevel 9|sublevel 9 of the Cavern of Chaos]] and [[sublevel]]s [[Dream Den#Sublevel 10|10]] and [[Dream Den#Sublevel 14|14]] of the Dream Den. || || || ||

=== Aesthetic ===

| In [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge mode]], have some Pikmin carry a treasure, and just as it is being beamed into the Research Pod, quit the level. The cutscene will initiate with the treasure still floating, smaller than its original size. This does not work with [[enemy]] carcasses, but can also be performed with cutscene-triggering treasures, but the timing involved makes it much harder. || || || ||

| In Challenge Mode, after the cutscene where the Pikmin and leaders land fades out, the player has a {{frames|3}} frame window in which they can press the camera zoom button. Doing so will zoom out the camera like normal while the "Ready? Go!" text appears, but objects [[Camera#Off-camera objects|outside of the standard zoom level's reach]] will not appear until the gameplay begins proper. Other text cutscenes, like the debt repayment milestone text can also be affected. With this, the player can even see a [[Pellet Posy]] with no pellet inside (until the gameplay begins and the objects get rendered properly). || || || ||

| The walls next to the 35 Pikmin [[paper bag]] in the [[Valley of Repose]] actually wobble back and forth with the tree shadows. || || || ||

| If you [[lie down]], get up as soon as possible, and start [[whistling]], the first part of the whistle will be silent, and the sound will only start some time after. || || || ||

| The stems of idle Pikmin at the start of a [[2-Player Battle]] match will not glow. The glow will start working normally if the Pikmin is added to the group and then made idle again. In the ''New Play Control!'' version, sometimes a Pikmin that should otherwise be affected by the glitch will have the glow working properly from the get-go. || || || ||

| By activating the hole to the next sublevel at the same time the leader begins [[lie down|lying down]], the player will activate the hole confirmation prompt when the leader is in mid-air, and lying down. If the player confirms, the Pikmin will huddle up to where that leader was, in the GameCube version, or they will run away from the hole entirely, in the Wii version. || || || || {{cite web|https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/177496240035069962/657682501925339161/napsack_hole_glitch.mp4|Video of a leader lying down at the same time the hole is activated, in the GameCube version, by "PikHacker"|Discord|published={{date|20|December|2019}}|retrieved={{date|21|December|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/177496240035069962/657690244719837238/napsack_wii.mp4|Video of a leader lying down at the same time the hole is activated, in the Wii version, by "PikHacker"|Discord|published={{date|20|December|2019}}|retrieved={{date|21|December|2019}}}}

| If the player pauses and unpauses when holding on to a Pikmin, the Pikmin will stop playing its sound. || || || ||

| Pausing when a leader or enemy is on top of a [[seesaw block]] will cause the carrying numbers "0/1" to appear. || || || ||

| If a leader is [[lying down]] and being carried by Pikmin when the [[cutscene]] explaining how sunset works begins, that leader will get up and start walking in place. || || || || {{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/a3a3d2/what_is_your_unexplained_glitch_story_that_you/eb5qyvc/|Post|reddit|published={{date|5|December|2018}}|retrieved={{date|3|May|2022}}}}

=== Hard to reproduce ===

| The game can crash for a number of reasons, as explained in [[crash|this article]]. || || || ||

| Given unknown circumstances, it is possible for Pikmin in a [[cave]] to attack a [[gate]] while quite far away from it, leaning on a wall. It might only happen if the gate is blocking off a dead end, and there is a room on the opposite side of the dead end's wall. || || || || {{cite youtube|1sZDWoWzV2E|showcasing a glitch where Pikmin attack a gate in a cave from far away|m=11|s=9}}

| If a Pikmin is latching on to a [[Yellow Wollywog]], there is a chance that it will be crushed in mid-air. || || || || {{cite youtube|aJH8mHq2wxc|showing a Purple Pikmin being crushed in mid-air}}

| Rarely, a Pikmin may refuse to [[carry]] an object. || || || || {{cite youtube|4_MfAqm5boc|showing a Purple Pikmin refusing to carry a dead Yellow Wollywog}}

| Petrifying a Waterwraith while it is on top of large corpses or treasures will make it float around in a semi-random way. || || || || {{cite youtube|HSkgfpu1EiM|showing how the Waterwraith behaves when petrified on top of large objects}}

| Given unknown circumstances, it's possible for a walking Armored Cannon Larva to turn into the buried version. This glitched buried version can also get stunned, unlike the regular buried version. || || || || {{cite youtube|mdHljZUbB2E|showing how a free Armored Cannon Larva transformed into a buried one}}{{cite youtube|5r7k6oT5zqI|demonstrating how the glitched buried Larva can still get stunned.}}

| Rarely, it is possible for a [[Burrowing Snagret]] or [[Pileated Snagret]] to live with 0 health. Damaging the creature in any way will end the glitch. || || || ||

| In all of the metallic caves it is possible for your Pikmin to fall off the stage. This usually kills the Pikmin, but there are reports of that sometimes not happening. || || || ||

| In caves like the [[Snagret Hole]], there are solid walls. Behind these walls, you see nothing but black. If a [[Bumbling Snitchbug]] grabs one of the leaders, there is a chance that it will drop him into the [[Pit|void]] the walls are blocking out. If you fall in, you will reappear at the [[Research Pod]]. || || || || {{cite youtube|ZgAHpQD9EA0|in which a Bumbling Snitchbug drops a leader out of bounds|m=13|s=41}}

| If a leader is hurt while held by a [[Bumbling Snitchbug]] (e.g. with an [[electrical wire]]), they will enter a state similar to as if they were on the ground. This means they can whistle, punch, etc. Making the leader [[lie down]] will result in him falling to the ground, sleeping, but after the Snitchbug attempts to throw, the leader will enter a "falling" state. In this state, they can't do much except be pushed around by other objects, and act as if there is no friction. Hitting a wall fixes this. || || || || {{cite youtube|Jg3Y7-MeJIo|of what happens if a leader is hurt while grabbed by a Bumbling Snitchbug}}

| Much like the [[#Hideous Victual physics glitches|Hideous Victual glitches]], treasures can jump away seemingly at random, and even become unreachable in an unknown location. This is likely due to the collision cylinders for both objects overlapping, and the game attempting to push them apart. || || || || {{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/FrailPrettyEchidnaBCWarrior|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|28|September|2017}}|retrieved={{date|28|September|2017}}}}{{cite youtube|Dskcl01PdDY|of the Five-man Napsack jumping away|published={{date|2|September|2018}}|retrieved={{date|10|September|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/AffluentCorrectCaterpillarDxCat|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|29|October|2018}}|retrieved={{date|29|October|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/TsundereMistyBeaverCopyThis|Twitch clip (language warning)|Twitch}}{{cite web|https://twitch.clips.gg/UglyBlazingGoatJonCarnage|Twitch clip|Twitch Clips}}{{cite web|https://twitch.clips.gg/FrailPrettyEchidnaBCWarrior|Twitch clip|Twitch Clips}}{{cite youtube|2TbAK6RhgXk|of a [[Crystal Clover]] being projected as it spawns|published={{date|18|November|2018}}|retrieved={{date|19|November|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://www.twitch.tv/videos/374702324|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|3|February|2019}}|retrieved={{date|3|February|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/keisen2853/status/860487790848389122|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|3|February|2019}}|retrieved={{date|3|February|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/AdorableMushyEmuDxCat|Twitch video|Twitch|published={{date|15|February|2019}}|retrieved={{date|15|February|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://www.twitch.tv/videos/178024256|Twitch video|Twitch}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/ManlySuaveCheesecakeHumbleLife|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|31|October|2019}}|retrieved={{date|1|November|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/EndearingFunSoymilkSquadGoals|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|28|September|2017}}|retrieved={{date|28|September|2017}}}}{{dead link|October|2018}} {{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/CrypticRoughGrouseTakeNRG|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|3|November|2018}}|retrieved={{date|3|November|2018}}}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/fuji_luck/status/1335555772055339008|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|6|December|2020}}|retrieved={{date|7|December|2020}}}}

| Pikmin can sometimes bounce away after landing on an enemy. || || || || {{cite web|https://www.twitch.tv/videos/264860765|Twitch clip|Twitch}}

| If a treasure is salvaged at the same time a debt repayment update message shows up on-screen, the game will softlock and enter a state similar to the treasure analysis state, but without the effects or HUD for it, and without the ability to close out. The player can still rotate the treasure around. || || || || {{cite youtube|P-VFCdvjFRE|of the treasure analysis softlock}}{{cite youtube|REiSAHzILZo|of the treasure analysis softlock glitch being triggered}}
