|howto = Have an inactive leader pass through a loading zone with Pikmin in their party, through the use of the [[Go Here!]] command. Then, end the [[day]] as they are passing through.

|notes = An attempt to recreate the glitch has had the Pikmin not return to the landing site automatically. For best results, use the loading zone west of the [[Twilight River]] landing site, past the [[paper bag]]. [[Winged Pikmin]] will reach the Drake before the cutscene ends.

|explanation = During the location transitions, Pikmin and leaders are programmed to follow a strict "follow the leader's path" logic system. This doesn't get cleared when the day is terminated, which results in the Pikmin continuing to blindly follow the leaders when they find themselves at the landing site for the end of the day's cutscene.

| effects = After defeating the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] as [[Charlie]], a second Charlie will join the party which will not be playable but may be thrown around as normal until the day ends.

| howto = Perform precise clips to climb up and around roots near the tin can in Charlie's starting area, carefully run over the roof and loading zone for the intended cave entrance, and enter the cave blocked off by the crystals. Using bomb rocks found near where the [[Spotty Bulbear]] would be, retrieve a pellet from the crystals and have the [[Yellow Pikmin]] take it close to but not inside the cave to the Yellow Onion. Take your Pikmin to the spot where the higher [[Joustmite]] would be and throw them in place. Make your way back to the pellet left near Brittany's cave and move it close to the root in order to clip up onto the root. Walk around the root to the left and clip through the central root to get further out of bounds, follow a precise path to a point near the exit of the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] boss arena and fall out of bounds to fall back in-bounds at the exit. Call to the Pikmin left where the [[Joustmite]] would be and go inside. The fight can be won as normal; completing the bridge is the easiest method to do so. Upon defeat, Charlie will emerge as normal, and a broken cutscene will play.

** After retrieving the second Charlie, the [[KopPad]] still can't be used and the player still can't [[charge]]. However, upon bringing back the [[Heroine's Tear]] to the ship, the day can be ended.

** Various tinkering is possible to retrieve the Yellow Onion, but the Onion merges with the primary Onion which the player doesn't have access to, so it becomes also unavailable.

** As with the original glitch previously mentioned, you can activate a broken cutscene with the Red Pikmin as if you had just plucked one for the first time in [[Tropical Wilds]], but the specific Pikmin used for the cutscene dies and any others that are not in the ground will die at the end of the day.

** Going into and back out of the loading zone to the S.S. Drake in [[Tropical Wilds]] will trigger a cutscene that will crash the game.

** Going into Brittany's cave where the [[Yellow Pikmin]] are discovered and back out of it and ''not'' skipping the cutscene will crash the game, but skipping the cutscene will activate the sun meter and allow the player to end the day. Ending the day with one Charlie comes with its own various glitches.

| explanation = The game assumes that the player can't possibly reach and defeat the boss without being Alph and Brittany, and so upon defeat, Charlie is made available. The player can't switch to him or use any of their Y-controls at this time, however, only able to throw him until the day is over.
