|howto = Stand next to somewhere where a Pikmin will get crushed and grab it as soon as it gets crushed. Make sure the [[leader]] is out of the way, as the Pikmin will die if the leader is damaged, since they will not be able to pick the Pikmin up. If all is done correctly, you should hear the Pikmin squeal even though it is still in your hands. This glitch can also occur by [[whistling]] a panicking Pikmin the frame before it enters an animation which leads to its death. | |howto = If not done already, update the game (Wii U only).

|notes = While these Pikmin can break underwater walls, they can't do so for [[Gate#Electric gate|electric gate]]s: when thrown at this kind of gate, they will hit it, then stop, then hit it again and then they will then rejoin your party. Oddly enough, when the player throws them on again, they won't do the same. | |notes = While these Pikmin can break underwater walls, they can't do so for [[Gate#Electric gate|electric gate]]s: when thrown at this kind of gate, they will hit it, then stop, then hit it again and then they will then rejoin your party.

|explanation = When a Pikmin is crushed, some flags are set to make it invincible. This avoids having the Pikmin get hurt by hazards or other enemies while it's performing its crushing death animation. During this state, Pikmin are also no longer in the group, and so, can't be picked up. But if the player grabs the Pikmin at the same time it gets crushed, it will activate the invincibility flags, but skip the crushing, since the Pikmin is in a state where it cannot be harmed (i.e. grabbed by a leader). | |explanation = When a Pikmin is crushed, some flags are set to make it invincible.
