Throw: Difference between revisions
Noted how holding a Pikmin, swapping to bombs, and throwing two will result in the game swapping on its own. For that, I made an oddities section using a point from the trivia section.

For unknown reasons, when the player tries to throw in {{p1}}, there is a chance that Olimar will simply twitch instead. This is not the case if the Pikmin to throw is in front of Olimar, or is far way from him. Every once in a while, the game will enter a state for {{frames|1|y}} frame where it will reject the throw if the player presses the button on that frame. In the GameCube game, this happens every {{frames|11|y}} frames, though sometimes it's every {{frames|10|y}} frames instead, and in the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' release, it's roughly every {{frames|3|y}} frames, with the periodic break of {{frames|20|y}} frames where the glitch won't happen.{{cite youtube|9uOnWMzhMh0|showing how Olimar can fail to throw, and how various actions like whistling do not fix the problem|published={{date|20|July|2020}}|retrieved={{date|22|July|2020}}}} | |||
In {{p3d}}, if the player holds a non-[[bomb rock]] Pikmin, then swaps types while holding until they select bomb rocks, throwing that Pikmin and then quickly pressing the throw button again will make the game swap to the next type, causing the player to hold or even throw a non-bomb rock Pikmin.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/EspyoPT/status/1333845362050625536|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|1|December|2020}}|retrieved={{date|1|December|2020}}}} Care should be taken as to not throw unarmed Pikmin into an active bomb. Giving a small pause between the next throw, or simply swapping to bomb rocks without holding a Pikmin allows the player to throw several bombs without this risk. | |||

*In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', Pikmin in mid-throw retain their position and velocity when a cutscene is triggered. In ''Pikmin 3'' however, cutscenes often involve a leader speaking in a paused world; these cutscenes behave differently than most, and when gameplay resumes, thrown Pikmin still retain their position but not their forward velocity. They fall to the ground idle, which can put the player at a disadvantage if they were combating an enemy before the cutscene started. | *In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', Pikmin in mid-throw retain their position and velocity when a cutscene is triggered.
