At one point, a [[glitch]] about this boss was documented on Pikipedia.{{cite web|https://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?title{{=}}Beady_Long_Legs&diff{{=}}393&oldid{{=}}392|Old revision of the Beady Long Legs page|Pikipedia|published={{date|31|May|2008}}|retrieved={{date|29|July|2021}}}} It was said to be a rare and dangerous glitch that would cause the Beady Long Legs in ''Pikmin'' to leave its arena. Once outside its boundaries, it would continue to pursue the player, and if coaxed into falling into the [[pit]], the game would crash. It also claimed that the game could crash if left outside of its arena for too long, and that it could also happen with other bosses fought in arenas. | At one point, a [[glitch]] about this boss was documented on Pikipedia.{{cite web|https://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?title{{=}}Beady_Long_Legs&diff{{=}}393&oldid{{=}}392|Old revision of the Beady Long Legs page|Pikipedia|published={{date|31|May|2008}}|retrieved={{date|29|July|2021}}}} It was said to be a rare and dangerous glitch that would cause the Beady Long Legs in ''Pikmin'' to leave its arena.

Despite the glitch's popularity, there was never any proof of it happening, though there were attempts.{{cite youtube|e9wRNfGV8Wg|showing some attempts at luring the Beady Long Legs out of its arena|published={{date|30|October|2009}}|retrieved={{date|29|July|2021}}}} In fact, without editing the game's files to force the boss's territory radius to be larger than normal, there is no known way for the Beady Long Legs to walk far from its starting point, as it will attempt to return to the center of the arena if it exits a certain radius. In addition to the Beady Long Legs being unable to escape its arena in normal play, the crashing element is a hoax: should the player move the Beady Long Legs to the pits at the edge of the Forest Navel and coax it inside, its model distorts to try to "step" in the pit, before merely despawning.{{cite youtube|QseKQ7yslvU|showing how the Beady Long Legs only moves out of the arena if its territory radius is extended in Windows executable}}{{cite youtube|iXJFQKinoBM|showing the same hex edit, but on the actual game}} Since the editor that documented the glitch did so anonymously, and a bit haphazardly, it is impossible to figure out any details about the origin of the glitch. | Despite the glitch's popularity, there was never any proof of it happening, though there were attempts.{{cite youtube|e9wRNfGV8Wg|showing some attempts at luring the Beady Long Legs out of its arena|published={{date|30|October|2009}}|retrieved={{date|29|July|2021}}}} In fact, without editing the game's files to force the boss's territory radius to be larger than normal, there is no known way for the Beady Long Legs to walk far from its starting point, as it will attempt to return to the center of the arena if it exits a certain radius.
