A dazzling bomb rock is a variant of bomb rock appearing in Pikmin: Wide World. They are round, bumpy, bluish rocks with narrow cracks running throughout their surface, revealing a shining white core within, illuminating their surroundings. Dazzling bomb rocks may be of 2 sizes: small, the size of bomb rocks in Pikmin 1, and large, the size of bomb rocks in Pikmin 2. Small bomb rocks can be carried by Pikmin while large bomb rocks can be either rolled around or airlifted by exactly 2 or carried by a Purple Pikmin. Leaders can carry 1 bomb rock at a time no matter its size, but large ones may slow them down slightly purely because of their size and weight.
When lightly struck, such as from a sufficient tap or a kick, a bomb rock will become primed, the cracks on it snapping further apart with a crack; the core within glows progressively brighter over the course of 10 seconds and grows slightly until it finally detonates, producing a blinding flash of light and a deafening bang. Leaders, Pikmin, and enemies in the proximity of a dazzling bomb rock when it detonates will be temporarily blinded, deafened, and stunned for five seconds, and have impaired vision, hearing, and movement for ten seconds afterward before fully recovering. Because of this, dazzling bomb rocks are almost doubly effective against enemies that are particularly sensitive to light, such as ones that reside only underground. Small dazzling bomb rocks have a smaller effective range than large ones, but neither inflict much damage nor have much outward force. Pikmin attack with bomb rocks mainly by throwing or shoving them, but can only merely shove large bomb rocks forward; leaders, however, can throw them regardless of their size. Few enemies utilize dazzling bomb rocks, but how they do so may vary. Many enemies that eat Pikmin can also eat bomb rocks, which will prime when bitten onto and subsequently detonate in their stomachs, inflicting major damage if not outright killing them. Setting a bomb rock down or leaving it set will not prime it, and subjecting a bomb rock to crushing and stabbing forces will cause it to detonate instantly. A dazzling bomb rock's blast can not prime other bomb rocks in its range.
Some bomb rocks may be duds, indicated by a dark, black interior. They can not be primed, and when exposed to crushing and stabbing forces, simply break apart. Dud bomb rocks are most effective when handled as if they were rocks, and shatter after a single use. Active bomb rocks can be made into duds by exposing them to any type of fluid, most commonly water, in any way, with small bomb rocks becoming duds more easily than large bomb rocks.
In ultra-spicy difficulty, bomb rocks detonate after 5 seconds and have a slightly increased range. Their effects are also more potent, blinding nearby leaders, Pikmin, and enemies for eight seconds, and the after-effects lasting fifteen seconds. Additionally, enemies are more careful to not consume them and tend to keep away from them if they are aware of any nearby.
Notes
Data file #1 (all difficulties): While dazzling bomb rocks may serve as a convenient light source, their blast is concussive.- Data file #2 (ultra-spicy difficulty only): Dazzling bomb rocks have a moderate range and long-lasting effects for anything in it.
