* [[Unmarked Spectralids]] have 200 health points but die on one hit. Likewise, [[Honeywisps]] have 99999 health points but also die in one hit.

* In ''Pikmin'', there is an unused feature that makes Pikmin get [[throw]]n higher the longer the Pikmin is held. This feature has no effect on gameplay since the normal height values and the "fully charged" height values are the same. In ''Pikmin 2'', these values still exist, and are still the same for the normal and full charge amount, but the code for the feature itself has been removed.

* Enemies in ''Pikmin 2'' have set ID numbers, and are spawned using the ID number that is assigned to the enemy. Four of these numbers, <code>39</code>, <code>64</code>, <code>82</code>, and <code>100</code> are never used; they crash the game when spawned. This is because the files for <code>39</code> and <code>64</code> were deleted, and ID numbers <code>82</code> (internally, <code>Pom</code>) and <code>100</code> (internally, <code>UmiMushiBase</code>) appear to be template files for variants of [[Candypop family|Candypop Buds]] and enemies in the [[mollusking family]], respectively.

** Interestingly, <code>82</code> appears after all of the ID numbers for the specific Candypop Buds, which are numbers <code>3</code> through <code>8</code>. The ID number for the [[Ranging Bloyster]] appears much later in the list as <code>71</code> (internally, <code>UmiMushi</code>) while the ID for [[Toady Bloyster]] is <code>101</code> (internally, <code>UmiMushiBlind</code>), so it's possible that some of the ID numbers shifted around during development. Additionally, the enemy that has the ID of <code>39</code> is set to spawn in a unused layout file for [[newtest]] and is referred to as "{{j|フエフキムシ|Fuefukimushi|Flute Player Bug}}" in comments, which is similar to the [[Antenna Beetle]]'s internal name. This enemy would be able to spawn in the [[Awakening Wood]] as dictated by a <code>readme.txt</code> file found in the same directory.
