Editing Bomb rock

'''Bomb rocks''' are explosive rocks in the Pikmin games. 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. They are usually found inside tin cans, pipes, or large animal skulls.

In [[Pikmin 2]], they are much larger and cannot be carried by Yellow Pikmin, but can be detonated by attacking them. In certain [[Cave|dungeons]], you can trick nearby [[Emperor Bulblax]]es into swallowing them, which will stun the beast and deal considerable damage. They are also produced by [[Careening Dirigibug]]s. [[Volatile Dweevil]]s carry bomb rocks on their backs, presumably for protection, even though they themselves are killed in the blast. ''Never'' throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto a bomb rock, as that can cause near-instant detonation. Bomb rocks can even be [[ultra-bitter spray| petrified]], so do that if you are in a pinch, but keep in mind that they will not release [[nectar]] or [[spray]] like many beasts do if killed in that state. In the [[2-Player Mode|2-player battle]] stage, [[Hostile Territory]], bomb rocks can be picked up and thrown by your captain, which you can use to defeat enemies, or deal a serious blow to your opponent's Pikmin count.

==Instant explosion==
Bomb-rocks will explode with a shorter fuse when a Purple Pikmin is thrown directly onto them: be warned, though, that the Pikmin is more than likely to die.
