'''Ice Blasts''' are an item introduced in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. They look like cyan [[Bomb rock|Bomb rocks]] and function very similarly to them. Their explosion can [[Ice#Against_enemies|freeze]] enemies, water, and deep [[mud]] like [[Ice Pikmin]]. They can also freeze [[hydro jellies]] and replace the need for [[Ice Pikmin]] in many situations. Their effect on water and [[mud]] is very short lived (about 8 seconds) but useful when carrying objects over smaller pools or allowing [[Oatchi]] to jump to an area he couldn't normally reach when swimming. Using 2 ice blasts in the same body of water or [[mud]] can slightly lengthen the effect if one is thrown right before another explodes, but this is rarely beneficial. Unlike [[bomb rocks]], they cannot be used to destroy [[jars]] or any type of [[gate]]. Up to 5 per day can be purchased with 8 [[Raw material|raw materials]] each in the lab after {{sparklium|p4|1,500}} [[Sparklium]] has been collected, but they can also be found in [[Dirt mound|dirt mounds]].

==Uses==
[[File:Holding an iceblast.jpg|thumb|The player who is about to throw an ice blast.]]
Ice Blasts can be used in a multitude of ways.

===Freezing Enemies===
When playing Pikmin 4, there may be some enemies that are challenging and hard to defeat. With the Ice blast, you can throw it at one of the critters and watch them freeze immediately for a few seconds! Note, not all enemies can be frozen.

These enemies can't be frozen:

===Freezing Water===
If an ice blast is tossed into a body of water, it will freeze it for a little while.
