Bomb rock: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:59, 12 September 2020

This article relates to the official games. See Pikipedia's "Bomb rock" article for more official information.

Bomb-rocks are explosive rocks in the Pikmin games. In Pikmin 1, they can be carried by Yellow Pikmin, where their main purpose is to destroy rock walls. They can also be used to defeat enemies, and are particularly useful for doing so with bosses. When an enemy eats a Pikmin holding a bomb-rock, it explodes inside the enemy, harming it.

In Pikmin 2, they are much larger and cannot be carried by Yellow Pikmin, but can be set off by attacking them. Certain enemies, such as the Emperor Bulblax, can be coaxed into swallowing them, which will stun the beast and deal considerable damage. They are also produced by Careening Dirigibugs. Volatile Dweevils carry bomb-rocks on their backs, presumably for protection, even though they themselves are killed in the blast. Bomb-rocks can even be petrified to delay their detonation.

In Pikmin 3, all Pikmin types can carry bomb-rocks. Aside from that, they act just as they did in Pikmin 1.

In Pikmin Adventure

In Pikmin Adventure, both the small and large sizes of bomb-rocks appear. Small bomb-rocks can be thrown at enemies and are found in piles of three which add to the bomb-rock counter. The large ones appear as hazards and are the same as they are in Pikmin 2.

In Pikmin Search

In Pikmin Search, bomb-rocks can be carried by Brown Pikmin. Their uses and purpose are pretty much like that of the first game, except with Brown Pikmin, not Yellow Pikmin.

-'''Bomb rocks''' are explosive rocks in the Pikmin games. In the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], they can be carried by [[Yellow Pikmin]], where their main purpose is to destroy [[Gate|rock walls]]. They can also be used to defeat enemies, and are particularly useful for doing so with bosses. When an enemy eats a Pikmin holding a bomb-rock, it explodes inside the enemy, harming it. They are usually found inside tin cans, pipes, or large animal skulls.

-In [[Pikmin 2]], they are much larger and cannot be carried by Yellow Pikmin, but can be detonated by attacking them. In certain [[Cave|dungeons]], you can trick nearby [[Emperor Bulblax]]es into swallowing them, which will stun the beast and deal considerable damage. They are also produced by [[Careening Dirigibug]]s. [[Volatile Dweevil]]s carry bomb rocks on their backs, presumably for protection, even though they themselves are killed in the blast. ''Never'' throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto a bomb rock, as that can cause near-instant detonation. Bomb rocks can even be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], so do that if you are in a pinch, but keep in mind that they will not release [[nectar]] or [[spray]] like many beasts do if killed in that state. In the [[2-Player Mode|2-player battle]] stage, [[Hostile Territory]], bomb rocks can be picked up and thrown by your captain, which you can use to defeat enemies, or deal a serious blow to your opponent's Pikmin count. In [[Pikmin 3]] all pikmin types can carry bomb-rocks, aside from that, they act just as they did in Pikmin 1
-==Instant explosion==

-Bomb-rocks will explode with a shorter fuse when a Purple Pikmin is thrown directly onto them: be warned, though, that the Pikmin is more than likely to die. Using a one-hit kill code from game-enhancing devices like Action Replay will also cause the bomb-rock to explode instantly, as its health is instantly diminished.

-Both the small and large sizes appear. Small bomb-rocks can be thrown at enemies. The small ones are found in the form of stacks of three which add to your bomb-rock counter. The large ones appear as hazards and are the same as in Pikmin 2 and most fanon games.
