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. When an enemy eats a Pikmin holding a bomb-rock, it explodes inside the enemy, harming it. 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. Using a one-hit kill code from game-enhancing devices like Action Replay will also cause the bomb-rock to explode instantly, as its health is instantly diminished. olimar is also gay in pikmin 2

==Minor Glitch==
In places where a bomb-rock falls near [[Mitites]], such as [[sublevel]] 6 of [[Bulblax Kingdom]], there is a chance of it being launched back into the air if it lands on one, landing somewhere else on the level.

==Bomb-rock Locations in Pikmin 1==
'''Story Mode''':
*[[The Impact Site]]: Inside the box the Pikmin have to push.
*[[The Forest of Hope]]: In a tin can, near the great plain with [[Red Bulborb]]s, in another one near the place where the [[Yellow Onion]] is originally found. The last can is in the place where the [[Nova Blaster]] is found. On the first day the area is visited, some are found out of the cans. 
*[[The Forest Navel]]: In a pipe, near the pool where the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet]] is found. There's another one next to the place the [[Gravity Jumper]] lies.
*[[The Distant Spring]]: In a giant skull, inside a hollow tree stump guarded by a [[Spotty Bulbear]] and in the beach where the [[Massage Machine]] is found. There is another skull near the pool with [[Wogpoles]] to the west.
*[[The Final Trial]]: in a pipe, on a high place to the right of the starting point. Thee are three other pipes in the cliffs surrounding the arena where [[Emperor Bulblax]] is fought.

'''Challenge Mode''':
*The Forest of Hope: In the same places as always. A large group can also be found to the north, next to the place where a [[Pearly Clamclamp]] and several Bulborbs are found.
