I browsed the Olimar stickies quickly to see if anyone has encountered something like this before, but I didn't run into anything similar. I could've missed it, though.

Anyway, today I was messing around with Olimar in the waiting room, and something strange happeend.

My Pikmin weren't responding.

I had five Pikmin, a blue, two whites and two reds.

I would try to use all my smashes, aerials and grabs, but my Pikmin wouldn't respond. They were just standing there waiting. I did manage to do a down smash, though. Strangely enough, only one Pikmin, the one that would hit in front of Olimar, would respond.

After using the whistle, I could use...

4 forward smashes
4 up smashes before
2 down smashes
4 forward aerials
4 up aerials
4 down aerials
4 back aerials
4 grabs
4 latches

... before the glitch happening. Those numbers were average, but sometimes it was more, and sometimes it was less. It varied between 0-5. Sometimes the glitch even happened right away. It seems the glitch usually happens after four Pikmin are called into duty,though. Strangely enough, I could always use my chain.

After experimenting, I tried to pluck a sixth Pikmin, but I couldn't. I started throwing my Pikmin off the edge, and I plucked more. I could only pluck five. I then tried the glitch, and it worked. I wish I knew how to re-create this.

Anyway, I'm still in the waiting room right now, so if you want me to try anything, I'll try it. I could record, but I don't have any good recording equipment, so it won't be anywhere near adequate quality.

I will die later, to see if the glitch continues after death.

Thanks for reading!

Ghost pikmin glitch, it is very very old. Nothing you can do, it really sucks when it happens, but it's pretty rare.

Ah, sorry. Now I feel like such a noob. ^^;

Anyway, has it been discovered how this happens? Also, when I heard of this, no one mentioned five Pikmin cap.

The five pikmin cap was known (technically, it can be even less if more are missing, but I've never experienced that). It stops if you dies btw. Delfino often causes it to happen, due to pikmin being left behind when the stage takes off (or something like that).

Brad STFU I own you in Olimar dittos. ^^; Hi Fino. :D

Sorry if I'm not familiar with Olimar glitches, though. :( It never happened to me and I never come to these boards because I don't like most of the people here. ;_; So how should I have known? ^^;

Search button for 'not working pikmin' or something.
If you searched for 'lazy pikmin' then nothing would have came up except maybe for me ranting about them.
Which I doubt I did here, but in real life I whine a lot when I grab and nothing comes out and it costs me the winning grab.
