Possibly new PK Thunder Gimp?
So, this is my first post and I hope I put this in the right place, anyway.
I never saw a thread for this so I want to address something I stumbled across.
If Olimar latches a yellow Pikmin (any other colour dies) onto the stomach of Ness before PK thunder hits him, it drastically shortens the distance he covers.
I noticed that when latched to his head (thrown from above) that it didn't work and that if I threw the Pikmin from lower than Ness then it gimped him each time (thrown from below makes it latch to his stomach).
I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but I happened to stumble across it and decided to test things. I haven't tried this on Lucas yet.

That actually happens when Ness' PK Thunder 2 hits things like hurtboxes in certain ways and it's already known.
You can do it with any pikmin color or even your own body. Just try to tech the stage if you use your own body.
