Upon being activated, a rock's fuse starts going down (represented by a [[Health#Health wheel|colored wheel]] in the first two games), and when it reaches zero, the bomb causes a violent explosion, capable of damaging [[enemy|enemies]], [[leader]]s, some [[obstacle]]s and knocking back and subsequently killing any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. | ||
How they work has changed, in some fashion, in every entry. In the [[Pikmin (game)|first]] and [[Pikmin 3|third]] games, they can be carried by Pikmin, but only by [[Yellow Pikmin]] in the former. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', they are much larger and serve as obstacles instead of tools, with the exception being on the [[2-Player Battle]] stage [[Hostile Territory]], where they can be picked up and thrown by leaders. They can also appear as items in 2-Player Battle and [[Bingo Battle]]. In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' they're instead an item used by leaders and can be either found in the field or bought from [[Russ]] for 8 [[raw material]]s per bomb rock after accumulating a total of 3000 [[Sparklium]]. In the side story [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], bomb rocks are similarly found scattered around the four areas, and Olimar gains additional bomb rocks as bonuses for recovering 2 and then 13 [[ship part]]s. | How they work has changed, in some fashion, in every entry.

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', bomb rocks cannot be carried by Pikmin, but can be set off by attacking them. They can also spontaneously fall from the ceiling and instantly activate, and 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. | In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', bomb rocks cannot be carried by Pikmin, but can be set off by attacking them.

[[Volatile Dweevil]]s carry bomb rocks on their backs, presumably for protection, even though they themselves are killed in the blast. One should ''never'' [[throw]] [[Purple Pikmin]] onto a bomb rock, as that can cause near-instant detonation, which will likely kill the Pikmin. | ||
Bomb rocks can even be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] to pause their timer, so one should do that if in peril, but they will not release [[nectar]] or [[spray]] like many beasts do if destroyed in that state. Petrifying an inactive bomb rock will also activate it once it breaks free. When petrified, one can be safely destroyed with five leader [[punch]]es or a few Pikmin smacks. Finally, petrifying a bomb rock in the same moment it is going to blow up will make it disappear without harm.{{cite youtube|Tt-oXztIb5w|demonstrating how a bomb rock can disappear if sprayed just as it is going to blow up}} | Bomb rocks can even be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] to pause their timer, so one should do that if in peril, but they will not release [[nectar]] or [[spray]] like many beasts do if destroyed in that state.

Despite being obstacles and hard to control, bomb rocks in ''Pikmin 2'' can also be used to one's advantage, with the aforementioned uses. Fixed-location bomb rocks are less exploitable, but enemies that can generate bomb rock explosions can be abused more easily. For instance, one can have a Careening Dirigibug destroy an [[electrical wire]] without Pikmin having to be involved. | Despite being obstacles and hard to control, bomb rocks in ''Pikmin 2'' can also be used to one's advantage, with the aforementioned uses.

In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' bomb rocks are usually a tool but are rarely used as obstacles, mainly with [[Skutterchuck|Skutterchucks]] and [[Venom Dweevil|Venom Dweevils]] in the [[Engulfed Castle]], though any type of Dweevil can weild bomb rocks. In case of Dweevils they are spawned on top of them and function like Volatile Dweevils, but in the case of Skutterchucks bomb rocks are spawned around the enemy for them to pick up, but if you're quick about it you can take the bomb rock before the Skutterchuck picks it up. | In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' bomb rocks are usually a tool but are rarely used as obstacles, mainly with [[Skutterchuck|Skutterchucks]] and [[Venom Dweevil|Venom Dweevils]] in the [[Engulfed Castle]], though any type of Dweevil can weild bomb rocks.

On the GameCube version of the game, [[throw]]ing a Pikmin with a bomb-rock will make it stay on the spot, but primed to use the bomb. It is possible to see that the Pikmin is not [[idle]] because its stem doesn't glow and its color doesn't become paler. If an enemy is close, the Pikmin will step back and throw the bomb rock at it. In this state, when called back using the [[whistle]], they'll drop and activate the bomb, and run towards Olimar. If, however, the player wants the Pikmin to join the party without dropping and activating the bomb, they must have Olimar touch the Pikmin directly. [[Dismiss]]ing will cause these Pikmin to go to their own group, but will actually become idle, as seen by their color and stem. In this state, they will no longer activate their bomb when whistled. | |||

In addition, Pikmin no longer use the bomb when called to the group, regardless of scenario. | ||

The [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] and [[Oatchi]] can throw bomb rocks like how they would throw a Pikmin. Thus, they do not require Pikmin to operate like in previous games, but Pikmin can be thrown at bomb rocks on the floor to get them to bring the object back to the player. ''Pikmin 4'' also introduces an ice variant, the [[ice blast]], which [[Ice|freezes]] instead of dealing damage. In this game, if certain enemies bite a leader when they are holding either type of bomb rock, the enemy will swallow the bomb rock and be stunned instead of damaging the leader. Bomb rocks can also be thrown at enemies in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]]. | ||
