|notes = | | howto = Take Pikmin of a different type to the one you want to clone out of the Onion until [[Pikmin limit|the field is full]]. Then open the [[Onion menu]], and send some number of Pikmin back to the Onion while taking an equal amount of the desired type out of the Onion. Select OK, and then immediately open the Onion menu again before the Pikmin you sent back enter the Onion. Repeat the process, sending some Pikmin in and taking some Pikmin out, and immediately opening the menu each time. Notice how the number of Pikmin of the type you want to clone in the Onion stays the same as you continue to take them out. Once there are no Pikmin left to send in, you can wait for the Onion animations to finish, and you will have cloned some Pikmin. | ||
| notes = There is a cap to the maximum number of Pikmin you can have of a type with cloning. This cap is different for each type and varies inconsistently between attempts. | |||
| normal = The Onion shouldn't be able to send out a greater number of Pikmin of a type than there are inside it. | |||

===Continuing to play after beating the game=== | |||
{{todo|Document more of the effects that this glitch can have, such as what happens when this glitch is performed on a save file that beat the final boss on day 99, and how the Koppaite conversations in the S.S. Drake and voyage logs are selected.}} | |||
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Depends | p3 = No | p3d = Yes | youtube = YPUG3miqVFw | |||
|effects = Allows the player to continue playing on a save file after completing the main Story Mode on that save file, which has various effects such as disabling most controls. | |||
|prerequisites = Defeat the final boss and beat the game. | |||
|howto = On the [[day selection menu]] after completing Story Mode, an "END" bubble is displayed after the prior day that ended the run, which can't be selected unlike the other days. However, it is possible to select this day in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', via the [[Pikmin 3 voyage log|voyage log]] viewer accessed by the button in the bottom left. When the player exits the voyage log viewer, the day bubbles will jump to the day the player was last viewing in the voyage log. But whether the "start" button is greyed-out or not won't change, so if the player opens the voyage log on the "END" bubble and goes to, for example the day they defeated the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]] and exits, the button will be still greyed-out even though this day should be selectable, and vice-versa, if the player is on a selectable day and exits the voyage log on the "END" bubble, this makes the "END" bubble selectable and will allow the player to go to the day after the day the final boss was defeated. | |||
|notes = This glitch is only possible on ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' (as in the Wii U version the voyage log is displayed on the GamePad), and opens up many strange effects. These include the following: | |||
** Most [[controls]] are disabled, which makes it impossible to do most tasks. The only actions that are possible are zooming the [[mini radar]], opening the [[hint]] menu, [[Dodge|dodging]] (if the [[Dodge Whistle]] has been obtained), opening the [[pause menu]], and opening the [[KopPad]]. All menu functions still work, which means the KopPad camera and Go Here! abilities can be used normally. It's also possible to rotate the stick to get out of a [[Swooping Snitchbug]]'s grip, and to move the camera out of its starting position at the beginning of the day (but not to move the camera normally). | |||
** At the beginning of the day in the S.S. Drake, there will always be a major story event cutscene where the Koppaites talk, but the topic they talk about will be a minor topic, and the conversation might consist of no text at all. | |||
*** If the [[Formidable Oak]] is selected, the [[objective]] text on the [[loading screen]] will be shown blank, and the [[Music in Pikmin 3#Plasm Wraith battle|Plasm Wraith battle]] music will play continuously throughout the day even though the boss has been already defeated. (Other areas have no objective so the loading screen is normal, and have normal music also.) | |||
** The voyage log for the first day after beating the game is one of the four ending voyage logs (that are normally only viewable in the voyage log viewer), and on subsequent days, normal voyage logs are shown, since nothing notable happens on those days unless all the leaders lose their health. | |||
** On the day selection menu, the days played in this way are added to the list before the "END" bubble, which is always at the end (and is the bubble that must be selected to play the next day). [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] is shown in the leader icons for the days after beating the game, and some placeholder Japanese text appears when switching days in this period. All the days before beating the game function normally, while all the days after beating the game have the restricted controls. | |||
| normal = The player is usually unable to continue after beating the [[Plasm Wraith]]. The day selection menu shows an "END" bubble after the day that the player has defeated the final boss on, and cannot be selected to land on due to the "start" button being greyed-out, unlike other days. | |||
|explanation = The feature to switch days while viewing the voyage log in not in the original ''Pikmin 3'', and was added in the ''Deluxe'' port, which means it's possible the code to update the status of the "Start" button was not included in this feature. The restricted controls may be related to the [[pikmintkb:Pikmin 3 progress value|progress value]], which is set to <code>p140</code> after beating the game, and since it's not intended for the progress value to be at this value during gameplay, it may be the case that controls are disabled to stop the player from continuing. | |||

=== | ===Invincible Pikmin=== | ||
{{ | {{todo|Expand this section to cover how the glitch can be done in more situations than just crushing.}} | ||
{{glitch | reproducibility = High | consequences = Helpful | p3 = Yes, [[update]] 1.1.0 and beyond | p3d = Yes | youtube = psQoKCzal3g | image = Red_Pikmin_Underwater.jpg | icaption = A [[Red Pikmin]] fighting a [[Toady Bloyster]] underwater without drowning. | |||
|effects = Makes Pikmin invincible, able to go underwater, and after thrown, stop reacting to being [[whistle]]d. | |||
|prerequisites = Be in an area with a [[crush]]ing enemy. | |||
|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. | |||
{{glitch | reproducibility = | |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. | ||
| | |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). | ||

When gameplay resumes, it hides all models of the segments of the map the player is not on, and returns the camera to the leaders. Because the camera doesn't go there instantaneously, but takes one or two frames before it's near the leaders, there is a small window where the camera is outside of the segment the leaders are at, but with the geometry hidden. | ||

|howto = Leave one leader inside a | |howto = Leave one leader inside a segment of the area that isn't the segment with the Onion, like inside a cave. Have the other leaders at the Onion's location, ready to free it. The idea is to start the Onion cutscene when the leader inside the cave is the active one. For the Winged Onion, the best way is to throw two Rock Pikmin at the Arachnode to bring its health down, let it scuttle and rest, throw three Red Pikmin at it, and quickly change to the leader inside the cave. For the Blue Onion, simply throw three Winged Pikmin at the Flukeweed and switch to the faraway leader before they finish pulling out the Onion. When the Onion's cutscene is over, the game will prepare to go back to the leader that was selected, and will load that segment, and unload the segment of the area where the Onion is. However, the camera will stay in the same spot, meaning you'll be able to see the unloaded geometry. This effect will remain until any controller input is made, or until one of the idle leaders plucks the new sprout and the new Pikmin type introduction cutscene starts. So to maximize the effects, make sure that the leaders are far away from the Onion when you switch out, so that they don't pluck the sprout. | ||

| effects = Makes [[leader]]s behave like Pikmin and attack enemies on their own after bouncing into them from a [[Bouncy Mushroom]]. | |||
| prerequisites = Have unlocked the [[Tropical Wilds Remix]] Mission Mode stage. | |||
| howto = Get all 3 leaders to the location of the Blue Onion. Get one leader to go to the low bit of land across the lake, and use that leader to lure the nearby [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb]] into the right position. Then, switch to the second leader and use them to throw the third leader onto the Bouncy Mushroom. If they land on the Dwarf Orange Bulborb after the bounce, they will start attacking the enemy on their own with attacks that deal as much damage as a standard Blue Pikmin or Yellow Pikmin attack. They will stop attacking and revert to normal behavior after being whistled, after defeating the enemy, or after being bitten by the enemy. | |||

|effects = Makes a [[leader]] slide away during an [[Onion]]'s discovery [[cutscene]]. | |||
|prerequisites = Have a deactivated [[Winged Onion]] or [[Blue Onion]]. | |||
|howto = Throw five [[Winged Pikmin]] to the [[Flukeweed]] atop the Onion. As the Pikmin are pulling it, decide where it is that you want to make your leader slide to. The depression in the water to the south of the Onion's pond is a good place to aim for, as the leader will slide further because of the downwards slope. It is best to aim the camera that way. As the Onion is being pulled out, place your leader next to the Onion, on the side of the place you want to go towards. Make sure your leader is bumping against the Onion. When it gets pulled out, move your character towards the Onion's center while it is airborne. When it falls down, it'll bump against the leader, which will be sent sliding in the opposite direction. If using the [[Winged Onion]], having the leader under where the Onion falls in the cutscene will cause them to slide once the [[Arachnode]] is killed. | |||
|notes = The closer to the center of the Onion the leader is, the less distance they will travel, so it is recommended not to walk too far into the Onion's landing position. | |||
|explanation = When the Onion lands, it pushes the leader. Because the landing triggers the cutscene, and because during the cutscene the game expects the leaders to be standing still, their friction must use a value different from the norm, which allows them to slide. | |||

|- | |||
| By [[Throw#Holding|holding on]] to a leader or Pikmin while on the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]]'s arena and walking about, the trajectory prediction curve will occasionally change to a tight curve with an endpoint far below the surface. At this point, throwing will result in the leader or Pikmin performing their trajectory very quickly. This is likely because the game adjusts the throw's velocity according to the distance, which in this case, is assumed to be quite far away (underground). || Yes || Yes || | |||
|- | |||
| If the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]'s crystal is broken while Pikmin are inside its mouth, those Pikmin will not be killed, but will not be retrievable either. At the end of the day, they will be accounted for the number of deaths by battle. || Yes || Unknown || [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEMPq2unWD4&t=24m54s YouTube video] | |||

| If the Heroine's Tear is collected with Winged Pikmin, it will become impossible to obtain for the rest of the day as it will get stuck on the exits of the cave. The Pikmin will also be unable to be whistled back. || Yes || Unknown || | |||
|- | |||
| When a leader uses the [[dodge]] move against an object that can be carried with a single Pikmin, the object in question will slightly move. This trick can be used to move pieces of fruit out of the water, for example. || Yes || Yes || [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncDUZxBJYMw YouTube video] | |||

| If a leader is [[throw|holding]] a non-Winged Pikmin while on top of a [[seesaw block]], one extra unit of weight will be applied to the block, for an unknown reason. This does not happen with elevator platforms. || Yes || Yes || | |||
|- | |||
| It is possible to kill off all Pikmin in Charlie's segment of day 1. Before the first row of [[Spotcap]]s, on the rightmost wall (facing the Spotcaps), there is a nook where the wall before it has some ice on top, and the wall after it does not. The player can position Charlie against this nook, turn around, [[throw|hold]] Pikmin such that they are inside the nook, and [[whistle]] to release the Pikmin inside. There is no floor there, so the Pikmin will fall through and die. Though nothing happens when all of them die, if the player does this before destroying any of the Spotcaps or Kingcaps in the second row, they will be [[softlock|unable to proceed]]. || Yes || Unknown || | |||

| By throwing a Rock Pikmin at the base of a [[Flukeweed]] that contains a [[nectar egg]], the egg may break and drop its contents on the surface, without the player having to pluck the Flukeweed out. || Yes || Unknown || [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7ZdZ5DRFeg YouTube video] | |||
