Bomb rock: Difference between revisions

'''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. In ''Pikmin'', they are usually found inside tin cans, pipes, or large animal skulls. In ''Pikmin 3'' they are found in Dirt Mounds, eggs, and Medusal Slurkers.

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the bomb-rocks return. They can be found inside eggs, or from digging in holes. They can once again be used to destroy stone walls and defeat enemies. This time, all Pikmin are capable of carrying them. Controlling the way Pikmin behave with the bomb-rocks is much simpler in this game - the Pikmin will always keep hold of its bomb until it is thrown, in which case it will drop the rock exactly where it landed.
