'''Bomb rocks''' ({{j|バクダン岩|Bakudan iwa}}, lit.: "Bomb rock"; formatted as '''bomb-rocks''' prior to ''Pikmin 3'') are explosive rocks in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Upon being activated, a rock's fuse starts going down (represented by a [[Health#Health wheel|colored wheel]]), and when it reaches zero, the bomb causes a violent explosion, capable of damaging [[enemy|enemies]], [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], [[leader]]s and some [[obstacle]]s. How they work has changed, in some fashion, in every entry. In the [[Pikmin (game)|first]] and [[Pikmin 3|third]] games, they can be carried by Pikmin, but only by [[Yellow Pikmin]] in the former. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', they are much larger and serve as obstacles instead of tools, with the exception being on the [[2-Player Battle]] stage [[Hostile Territory]], where they can be picked up and thrown by leaders. They can also appear as items in 2-Player Battle and [[Bingo Battle]]. In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' they're instead an item used by leaders.

Visually, they look like round rocks with cracks in them, where a yellow and red energy-based flow can be seen. Their sizes span from being a bit smaller than a Pikmin (''Pikmin'') to being larger than a leader (''Pikmin 2''); ''Pikmin 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s size is an in-between of the two other games' sizes. It should be noted that bomb rocks in the Wii version are bigger than the ones in the GameCube version (the latter are the size of a Pikmin).
