'''Boulders''' are  [[obstacle]]s in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]]. They are large rocks that fall from the sky, often in groups, and can [[Crushing|crush]] anything they land on. They can be identified by the growing shadow they cast on the floor as they fall, as well as the {{w|sliding whistle}} sound that accompanies their descent. These signs give players a warning that a rock is about to fall where the shadow is, giving them time to get out of the way. It should be noted that boulders in Bingo Battle fall faster than the ones in ''Pikmin 2''. Rock Pikmin are also immune to boulder attacks in Bingo Battle.

In {{p2}}, boulders appear in some [[cave]]s, and also in some [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] and [[2-Player Battle]] levels. In {{p3}}, boulders only appear in [[Bingo Battle]]. Boulders in Bingo Battle fall faster than the ones in ''Pikmin 2''. [[Rock Pikmin]] are immune to being crushed by boulders.


With ideal placing and timing, players can trigger a boulder drop such that it lands on top of an [[enemy]], causing massive damage to the creature. Sometimes, if two boulders spawn close together, they can bump each other apart when they get close enough to the floor, in ''Pikmin 2''.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/CuriousCredulousKeyboardNomNom|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|24|April|2019}}|retrieved=published={{date|24|April|2019}}}}

It is possible to exploit a glitch in the way the game handles [[Lie down|lying down]], and using it to make the leader jump quite high. By lying down in a specific time while a boulder is dropping on the leader, he will be sent flying into the air.
