'''Ice Blasts''' are an item introduced in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. They look like cyan [[bomb rock]]s and function very similarly to them. Their explosion can [[Ice#Against enemies|freeze]] enemies, water, and deep [[mud]] like [[Ice Pikmin]]. They can also freeze [[hydro jellies]] and replace the need for [[Ice Pikmin]] in many situations. Their effect on water and [[mud]] is very short lived (about 8 seconds) but useful when carrying objects over smaller pools or allowing [[Oatchi]] to jump to an area he couldn't normally reach when swimming. Using 2 ice blasts in the same body of water or [[mud]] can slightly lengthen the effect if one is thrown right before another explodes, but this is rarely beneficial. Unlike [[bomb rocks]], they cannot be used to destroy [[jars]] or any type of [[gate]].
