'''Boulders''' are [[obstacle]]s in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' | '''Boulders''' are [[obstacle]]s in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They are large rocks that fall from the sky, often in groups, and can [[Blunt force|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. | ||
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 | 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.

In ''Pikmin 2'', 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, the leader will be sent flying into the air. | |||
