=== <s>Crashes</s> ===
As of {{revision|5.0-845}}, Pikmin 2 suffers from intermittent crashing with default settings, either immediately at startup or delayed until the middle of gameplay. Checking "Enable MMU" in the game's properties solves this issue. See {{issue|9899}}. Fixed by {{revision|5.0-2079}}.

=== 60 FPS ===
Pikmin 2 normally runs at 30 FPS but can render at 60 with the following Action Replay code. 60 FPS rendering breaks cut-scenes, so the effect can be adjusted via the D-pad: a right-press on the D-pad triggers 60 FPS, while a left-press on the D-pad reverts to 30 FPS.
 
These results can be swapped by exchanging <code>0002</code> and <code>0001</code> in the code, if desired. The current button assignment makes gameplay more consistent with the Wii version, since:
* Ideally one would press the button for 60 FPS more frequently than the button for 30 FPS.
* D-pad right in the GC version cycles through Pikmin types in the same order as B on the Wiimote (the only button to cycle through Pikmin in the Wii version):
: <code>blue → red → yellow → purple → white → bulbmin</code>
* D-pad left in the GC version cycles through Pikmin in the reverse order.

=== 2-Player Story Mode ===
This Gecko code enables split-screen multiplayer in Story mode, allowing full co-op. Cutscenes play improperly, and only Player 1 can control menus.

{{testing/entry|revision=5.0-1331|OS=Windows 10|CPU=Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650|result=Some problems with this game have cropped up since my last test. First of all the game is very prone to crashing to desktop with default settings; this can be fixed by checking "Enable MMU" in the game's properties. Secondly, notes can disappear from the background music using HLE if there's many simultaneous sounds at once, using LLE seems to solve this. Lastly there are texturing problems on text in menus, and the sky in the background of the end of day screens; nothing I tried fixed this, but it's pretty minor. All in all, with these settings enabled and everything else default, the game holds the exact same performance it did before, with the same slowdown in Perplexing Pool.|tester=Xerxes}}
