Pikmin 3 oddities

From Pikmin Technical KB

This page is dedicated to all the strange programming and flagging reactions that happen in Pikmin 3.

  • Certain flags will unlock every single leader for that flag on the map. For example, unlocking Brittany will unlock every single Brittany and Alph clone on the map. Unlocking Blue Pikmin will unlock every Alph, Brittany and Charlie present.
  • Every single Onion can be activated through breaking open a crystal, if they are inside of it.
  • If the Tropics is completed without opening any gates, the phone will get stuck in-between a log and the ground. The phone resets to the Meerslug arena every day, so there is no softlock as long as a gate is opened later.
