Glitches in Hey! Pikmin: Difference between revisions

== Out-of-bounds ==

=== Back-and-Forth Road ===

|effects = Sends [[Captain Olimar]] to a high ledge he shouldn't be able to reach, in [[Back and Forth Road]].

|howto = First, go on top of the [[iron block]] under the slope, and walk right next to the slope. Then, repeatedly throw Pikmin into the bottom right corner, as fast as you can. Right after doing that for a while, try using the [[jetpack]] and move to the right. With luck, you will fly up the top of the slope.

== Gameplay ==

=== Black screen lock ===

|effects = Makes the game get [[softlock|stuck]] in a black screen. Only the music will play.

|prereq = Have never received the S.S. Dolphin II's speech about all your Pikmin having died, in this saved game. Have [[Lights in the Darkness]] unlocked.

=== Olimar's Madcap Ride stick clip ===

|effects = Causes a Pikmin to clip through a stick platform and land on an [[Adult Centipare]] as it dives into poison, which usually results in the Pikmin's death.

|prereq = Have [[Olimar's Madcap Ride]] unlocked.

=== Pikmin falling through Secret Spot ===

| effects = Causes Pikmin to fall through the floor in Secret Spots.

| prerequisites = Have [[Secret Spot 6]] unlocked.

=== Walking animation lock ===

| effects = Causes Olimar to stay [[softlock|stuck]] walking in place.

| prerequisites = Have an uncollected treasure.

== Misc. ==

=== Delayed eating ===

|effects = Makes a Pikmin get chomped, but continue to live and act like normal, until its death happens a split-second later.

|prereq = Have [[Secret Spot 3]] unlocked, which means having an [[amiibo]] and the ability to scan it.

=== Falling whistle glitch ===

|effects = Makes Captain Olimar float in mid-air during a cutscene, before eventually dropping to the ground, losing one bar of health, and respawning.

|prereq = Have not seen the cutscene where you whistle the Rock Pikmin hiding in a bush in [[Crystal Tunnels]].

=== High Bouncy Mushroom jump ===

|effects = Makes Pikmin jump on a Bouncy Mushroom higher than normal during a Secret Spot collection cutscene.

|prereq = Have [[Secret Spot 9]] unlocked, which means having an [[amiibo]] and the ability to scan it.

=== Sliding Pikmin stuck ===

|effects = Makes Pikmin get temporarily stuck in the falling animation.

|howto = On [[Crystal Tunnels]], go down the starting shaft, and head left, just before the shaft with slope crystals. Stand on the straight floor right before the drop, and look at the blue gems in the ground. Stand on top of the largest one, such that there's around one Olimar-width between you and the edge to the left. Notice the first slope crystal in the fall, wedged on the right side of the wall – it's consisted of one large crystal and a very small overhang crystal on top of the big one. Now, hold a Pikmin, aim the crosshair at the tip of the small overhang crystal, and release. The Pikmin should bounce on some crystals on the way, and eventually get stuck on the vertical wall of the same big crystal. The Pikmin will eventually get out, but slightly different positioning and throws can make the Pikmin hang on for more or less time.

=== Sudden rainbow rocks ===

|effects = Suddenly gives the player some rainbow rocks despite the rocks already going off-screen uncollected.

|prerequisites = Have the [[Sparkling Labyrinth]] [[Sparklium Springs]] area available to enter.

=== Terrain cut-in ===

|effects = Shows the terrain cut off, and popping in or out.

|howto = Go to [[Scorched Earth]]. Open up the way to the [[Deluxe Something-or-Other]] and climb down the vine that leads to it. Then, climb the vine back up and keep an eye out on the top-right of the top screen. The terrain on that part of the screen extends up a fair bit, but midway through climbing, you should see it cut off from the top, for a bit. As you move on the vine, you'll see more or less be cut off, until it all pops into view when you climb high enough.
