Bomb rock: Difference between revisions

The controls when dealing with bomb-rock-yielding Yellow Pikmin are a bit complex. Pikmin holding bomb-rocks will not interact with objects when the C-stick is used. Throwing Pikmin with bomb-rocks will make them idle, but ready to attack. If an enemy is close, they'll step back and throw the bomb-rock at it. When called back using the [[whistle]], they'll drop and activate the bomb, and run towards Olimar. If, however, one wants the Pikmin to join the party without dropping and activating the bomb, one should touch them directly. When called to the yellow [[Onion]], Pikmin yielding bomb-rocks will drop them without detonating them. When using X to dismiss the Pikmin, those carrying bomb-rocks will stay in a different group from the other Yellow Pikmin. When called back in any way after being dismissed with X, they'll keep their bomb-rock and join the group. In the [[New Play Control! Pikmin|''New Play Control!'']] version, switching to a different Pikmin while holding one (i.e. pressing B when holding A) will treat Yellow Pikmin and bomb-rock-holding Yellow Pikmin differently.

In ''Pikmin 2'''s [[2-Player mode]] stage [[Hostile Territory]], bomb-rocks can be picked up and thrown by a captain, which can be used to defeat enemies, or deal a serious blow to the opponent's Pikmin count. To perform this, one merely needs to run into a bomb-rock for around one second, and then press A to throw it (the distance is around twice as far as the reach of the cursor), or B to drop it. In both cases, the bomb-rock will be activated. In every other point in the game where bomb-rocks are found, they can be activated by being attacked, provoked (in the case of Volatile Dweevils), or dropped (in the case of Careening Dirigibugs).
