| howto = When battling an enemy, there is a chance that some Pikmin will mysteriously vanish without leaving a [[soul]] or making a sound. There are several enemies where this happens, but the most common are [[Wollywog]]s, [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]]s, and the Puffstool, which can kill up to 30 Pikmin when its cap falls on top of them. It also happens with more regularity when [[swarm]]ing enemies rather than [[throw]]ing Pikmin at them, and it is more likely to happen the more Pikmin are used.

This glitch can severely alter the course of gameplay, so extreme caution is advised. | ||

| explanation = During combat, Pikmin get pushed around by the enemy and its hitboxes in various directions. At times, some Pikmin might be pushed downward and outwards, but there is more force driving them downwards than forwards (for instance, if other Pikmin are keeping them from sliding off). If the force is too great, the Pikmin is pushed through the ground, where it falls and dies. | | explanation = During combat, Pikmin get pushed around by the enemy and its hitboxes in various directions.
