Bomb rock: Difference between revisions

{{todo|Point down how long the bombs take to explode, in all games. (Keep in mind EU ''Pikmin'' is slower, and that it is possible for bombs to have a different timer.)}}

The explosions can trigger a chain reaction if they hit other bomb rocks. In ''Pikmin'', a bomb-rock explosion will instantly make all bomb-rocks in the vicinity explode. In ''Pikmin 2'', a bomb-rock that gets hit from another's explosion will initiate its countdown, so the chain reaction is rather slow. In ''Pikmin 3'', an explosion triggers a neighboring bomb's explosion in around half a second, resulting in quite a fast chain of explosions.

*[[The Impact Site]]: Inside the box that the Pikmin have to push on the first day. (5 bomb rocks)

*[[The Forest Navel]]: In a pipe, near the pool where the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet|#1 Ionium Jet]] is found (10). There's another one next to the place the [[Gravity Jumper]] lies (15).

*[[The Distant Spring]]: In a giant skull, inside a hollow tree stump guarded by a [[Spotty Bulbear]] (5) and in the beach where the [[Massage Machine]] is found. There is another skull near the pool with the [[Water Dumple]]s to the west (5).

Mines are [[Bingo Battle]] exclusive explosives that attach to anything. They act similar to bomb rocks in the way that Pikmin carry them, and they can explode. This item is most commonly obtained from a roulette spin, which can be caused by retrieving a [[Cupid's Grenade]], but can also be found on layout C of the [[Jigsaw Colosseum]], and from [[dirt mound]]s in layout C of the [[Rusted Labyrinth]]. When the "mine" roulette wheel item is used, a mine spawns near the player's group, and at that point, the player can issue a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to pick it up. The Pikmin can then be thrown at the ground, a wall, a fruit, or anything else, and where it touches, the mine will stick. From this point on, the mine will be armed, and will detonate whenever a leader draws near. If there is a mine on a fruit or any carriable object, and that object is brought to an Onion without the mine blowing up, the explosive will slide off and fall on the ground.

==Badges==

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.

==Technical information==

==Trivia==

*If a Pikmin is holding a bomb rock when it is called to the Onion, it will leave it beneath the Onion's pillar of light.

*In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', if a bomb rock in a cluster of bomb rocks explodes off-screen, it will not activate the others. This is because [[Camera#Off-camera objects|off-camera objects]] have special behaviors.

*Pikmin holding bomb rocks in ''Pikmin 3'' will not roll when [[dodging]], but will walk faster to keep up with the dodge.

*In ''Pikmin 3'', if a Pikmin is already under the effect of another hazard (such as electricity), it can't get killed by an explosion.
