| effects = Makes the first paper bag in the [[Valley of Repose]] stuck until the day is over. It'll act as it if were closed, i.e. it can still be passed through, although the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]] will stay on top of it when moved there.

| howto = Start a new [[Saved game|save file]] and work your way until you have enough Pikmin to put down the first [[paper bag]]. Throw the required number of Pikmin but one onto the bag. When you throw the last one, call the Pikmin to either leader's side just as the Pikmin lands on the bag. Until you get the exact timing, it's better to whistle too early rather than too late, because if you whistle too late, the cutscene will start and you'll have to restart the save file to try again, whereas whistling too early makes the Pikmin come to you, and you can try again right away. If you timed it right, there's a chance the Pikmin will move out of the bag, and the latter will stay in place, but the reunion cutscene will still occur. Olimar and Louie will pass through the paper bag, and it'll be stuck in this state until the day ends.

| notes = With incredible luck, it is also possible to have the "You appear to be stuck" cutscene interrupt the paper bag's deflation, which also triggers the glitch.

| explanation = Just like the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Cardboard box cutscene softlock|cardboard box softlock glitch in ''Pikmin'']], if the Pikmin are brought back into the party just as the cutscene starts, there will be no Pikmin to actually perform the actions required by the cutscene, in this case, deflating the bag. Because it was never assumed that this could or would happen, the game is programmed to move Olimar and Louie to the place where the squashed bag was, regardless of its state.

| Some obstacles (such as the [[paper bag]]s) are surrounded by invisible walls to prevent the player from throwing Pikmin to the other side of the obstacle. However, even after crushing the obstacle in question, the invisible walls do not disappear. This glitch can also be reproduced with the [[cardboard box]]es in ''Pikmin''. || || || || {{cite youtube|Laba7Tj4QGA|showing the invisible walls.}}

| In Challenge Mode, after the cutscene where the Pikmin and leaders land fades out, the player has a {{frames|3}} frame window in which they can press the camera zoom button. Doing so will zoom out the camera like normal while the "Ready? Go!" text appears, but objects [[Camera#Off-camera objects|outside of the standard zoom level's reach]] will not appear until the gameplay begins proper. Other text cutscenes, like the debt repayment milestone text can also be affected. With this, the player can even see a [[Pellet Posy]] with no pellet inside (until the gameplay begins and the objects get rendered properly). || || || ||
