Pikmin 3 glitch: Continuing to play after beating the game 

Honestly, seeing alph silent when the day begins terrifies me.

It’s surprising how comically easy it is to do this

This gives me fond memories of the Fourth Day glitch in Majora’s Mask

A few more things were found with this glitch in the days after I uploaded this video. @MushKinPuff found that if you have Pikmin sprouts planted near the Swooping Snitchbug in the Distant Tundra from previous days, the Swooping Snitchbug can pick up captains and throw them to separate them from the active captain, and this allows those captains to automatically pluck those Pikmin. By walking into those captains with Go Here!, it's possible to get Pikmin into the squad, but you still can't do anything with them. However, if you go to the location of the Anti-Electrifier, the Arctic Cannon Larva can get Pikmin separated from the squad in a way that puts them in the right place to start digging the Anti-Electrifier out of the ground and carry it once it's out, so it is possible to collect that upgrade. She also found that you cannot jump on/off lily pads, and you cannot use the Assemble All feature of the S.S. Drake.

I can't believe this is where I found out that there's a two player mode in Pikmin 3

the fact that on the list of captains louis is replaced by olimar makes me laugh extremely as if they had abandoned louis on the planet (you will tell me it won't be the first time)

Now that's pretty fascinating. Even though most controls are disabled and there's not much of anything interesting to do, the presence of this as an option is still a very neat discovery. Cool stuff, this is a very good video.

Pikmin 3’s UI . Music . Atmosphere. UI sounds . Color schemes . All of that are unrivaled by any other pikmin game and most other games in general .

3:00 wise words Alph.

An interesting thing about this glitch is that since they don't consume a bottle of juice after defeating the Plasm Wraith, you can reach Day 100. I'm not sure if you can "play" on Day 100, since I saw a video of it just being a black screen after Day 99 is done. I'm currently in the process of consuming all of the juice I have (79 left at the time of writing).

I wonder why the controls stop working when you play after beating the plasm wraith. Maybe defeating it activates some kind of trigger that prevents input at all to ensure something doesn’t go wrong in the defeat cutscene? But then why do the menus work fine? Maybe it only disables regular field inputs? Honestly it’s kind of fascinating that this is even possible at all, ngl.

I like the implication that the koppaites just kidnapped Louie after the ending

At least you figured out how to use the camera. I still couldn't figure out how to use it even after beating the game lol

Please continue this series of glitch videos I love pikmin 3 and want to see everything it can offer

This feels like a creepypasta

" " -Alph, 20XX

Its sad. I always wanted to explore the desert island more..... without enemies

finished a playthrough yesterday. Forgot about not being able to continue. I went back to a previous day and finished off my fruit collecting. Luckily the gold blob dude was still waiting for me when I landed back there after finishing the other areas off. I wouldn’t have wanted to redo the whole oak again that was painful

Hopefully there'll be after game content or at least just the ability to keep playing in pikmin 4, that's how pikmin 2 was

Wait I thought collecting all the fruit got the Alph voyage log? Why does Charlie talk about something different?

Incredible!

What happens if you Go Here to pluck Pikmin

What happens if you exhaust your food supply after beating the game?

What happens if you run out of juice

Okay, I have a really curious question that this video didn't show. What happens if this glitch is done on a savefile that completed the game on day 99? In this case, the final boss is defeated on day 99, the max limit for spending on the planet. Since ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yII02CE4iIs.html shows that hacking in more juice bottles softlocks the game at day 99 (Shown better than explained), by doing this glitch may bypass this trigger to game over on day 99, and may allow access to day 100. I need someone to try this out if they Pik3DX, and they have a savefile with all the fruits obtained.

Finally piece of mind

The Koppaites on the next day: Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Really cool!

good find

Odd question, is there a known way to get into "Day END" with the Plasm Wraith alive? On the in-game leaderboard graph for ultra-spicy there's a bar for 52 days, implying a nonzero number of people have finished an all-fruit run in 52 days (which shouldn't be possible normally). I'm trying to figure out how that could have been accomplished (assuming it wasn't cheated since, well, honestly it'd be weird to cheat just to get the worst score known to man).

Wild

if pikmin are sprouted before u end the game, u can pick them up when a leader becomes idle

Creepypasta stuff

That’s pretty cool bro you found that yourself?

So those days will still be bugged if you reselect them? After the "END" bubble moved.

It does that to me but idk cuz I don’t have anything that says end,and also I don’t know if it’s a glitch or I didn’t beat the game, please help

new game+

Oh hi soprano, i found your account

What happens if you didn’t have any juice left and you do this glitch?

that's awesome haha

What happen if you retry ?

I wonder why this happens? Can someone dig in the code?

What happens when you run out of fruit? Also, is this a Pikmin 3 Deluxe exclusive glitch?

Dose this glitch work on the Wii U version too?

Can this be done on wii u

This is why i never finished pikmin 3, the juice mechanic time constraint... They should have made it still playable and without any fruit needed anymore when you beat the final boss. this way you can just do whatever for fun. Pikmin 1 suffer from similar constraint but its excusable, it's the first game. I dunno why they downgraded after pikmin 2 however. im glad pikmin 4 is more like pikmin 2

Pretty sure they made this a feature in Pikmin 3 deluxe. Edit: was my entire life a lie? This is Pikmin 3 deluxe. Strange. I swear I could play afterwards. Currently checking. Edit 2: I just speedran the game, and yep, I was wrong

What happens if you run out of juice
