There are two main Mushroom Pikmin glitches:If Pikmin happen to be knocked down as soon as the Puffstool's spores hit them, they will turn into Mushroom Pikmin but will still attack the Puffstool. They cannot be called back and may turn into regular Mushroom Pikmin.If you can call Pikmin the exact moment when they are hit with the Puffstool's spores, they will turn into Mushroom Pikmin but will be completely under your control.
