Not much was done to manage Pikmin that go out of bounds, as that scenario was thought to be too unlikely. | ||

| explanation = A burrowed Pikmin must count as a different object than a regular Pikmin. When the burrowed Pikmin object is destroyed, and the normal Pikmin object is created (i.e. when the Pikmin is plucked), some of its attributes get initialized. Seeing as Pikmin are normally meant to be plucked while on land, the "air remaining" attribute starts at 0, which means "not underwater". However, if a Pikmin does happen to be underwater, the game will make it swim, but will not decrease its "air remaining", as it's already set to 0. | | explanation = A burrowed Pikmin must count as a different object than a regular Pikmin.

===Swimming through gates=== | |||
{{ glitch | reproducibility = High | danger = Helpful | p1 = Yes | npcp1 = ? | |||
| effects = Makes a Yellow Pikmin swim through a [[gate]]. | |||
| prerequisites = There needs to be a raised gate in a body of water. | |||
| howto = Holding a Yellow Pikmin, walk towards the gate and throw the Pikmin over the gate. Immediately after, call the Yellow Pikmin, which will then swim through the gate. | |||
| notes = This can only be performed with Yellow Pikmin, due to their tall [[throw]] arc, even if the gate is lowered. | |||
| explanation = When swimming, the Pikmin's collision detection will ignore objects, so that the Pikmin can always swim to the shore and live. | |||
