'''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]], [[leader]]s, some [[obstacle]]s and knocking back and subsequently killing any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. 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 and can be either found in the field or bought from [[Russ]] for 8 [[raw material]]s per bomb rock after accumulating a total of 3000 [[Sparklium]]. | '''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]].

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). | Visually, they look like round rocks with cracks in them, where a yellow and red energy-based flow can be seen.

In ''Pikmin 3'', bomb rocks immediately explode if crushed by a Yellow Wollywog. If a Yellow Wollywog lands on a bomb rock that has been thrown but has not yet exploded, the bomb rock will prematurely explode, but the light effects of the about-to-explode bomb rock will continue to play as usual. This is a purely visual bug and does not affect gameplay in any way. | In ''Pikmin 3'', bomb rocks immediately explode if crushed by a Yellow Wollywog.

Also in ''Pikmin 3'', in the areas [[Tropical Wilds]] or [[Formidable Oak]], there are [[Dirt-mound]]s with bomb rocks inside. Tossing a Pikmin into it will have it dig up the bomb rocks inside. If you whistle on the mound the moment a bomb rock comes out, then throw another Pikmin into it, said other Pikmin will bring out another bomb rock.

If you whistle on the mound the moment a bomb rock comes out, then throw another Pikmin into it, said other Pikmin will bring out another bomb rock. This process can be repeated up to 19 times, as well as only 19 bomb rocks being allowed out at a time. | ||
