|howto = There is no concise way to reproduce this glitch, but so far, it was only reported to work on the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] and [[Plasm Wraith]] mission in co-op mode. Just playing through the mission as normal will be enough for the counter to eventually glitch. Although rarer, it can happen without the Quaggled Mireclops's intervention, and in single-player.{{cite web|https://web.archive.org/web/20171018025429/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADRUqF7BiZgcQ|Miiverse post showing the effects of the counter glitch in single player|Wayback Machine}} | |howto = There is no concise way to reproduce this glitch, but so far, it was only reported to work on the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] and [[Plasm Wraith]] mission in co-op mode.

|howto = If not done already, update the game (Wii U only). Then, | |howto = If not done already, update the game (Wii U only). Then, 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. | ||
|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.

|effects = Makes the visible cursor stuck somewhere in the area. The line from the leader to the cursor will point to where it is, even if it is very far away. The real cursor will be invisible, though it can be seen if there's a prompt above it. It will temporarily return to normal by holding a Pikmin, and fixed permanently by locking on. It persists through leader changes, and entering a different [[segment]] of the area will keep the effect, but move the cursor position elsewhere. | |effects = Makes the visible cursor stuck somewhere in the area.
