-'''Bomb-rocks''' are explosive rocks in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Upon being activated, their fuse starts going down (represented by a [[Health#Health wheel|colored wheel]]), and when it reaches zero, the rock causes a violent explosion, capable of killing Pikmin and severely hurting [[leader]]s and enemes. 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 3'' they can be found in Dirt Mounds and eggs.

-In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', they are much larger and cannot be carried by Yellow Pikmin, but can be detonated by attacking them. 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. One should ''never'' throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto a bomb-rock, as that can cause near-instant detonation, which will likely kill the Pikmin. Bomb-rocks can even be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], so one should do that if in peril, but they will not release [[nectar]] or [[spray]] like many beasts do if destroyed in that state.
 [[Emperor Bulblax]]es can be tricked into eating bomb-rocks. In ''Pikmin'', if one makes a Yellow Pikmin drop a bomb-rock just as the creature is preparing its tongue, it'll swallow it and take some damage, as well as being temporarily stunned. If the explosion occurs when the tongue touches the bomb-rock, it'll stun the Emperor even further. In ''Pikmin 2'', the same strategy can be used, although it is harder because of the Pikmin being unable to carry bomb-rocks themselves. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', other enemies can be tricked into eating bomb-rocks, such as the [[Peckish Aristocrab]].
