The '''Ice Blast''' ({{j|アイスバクダン|Aisu bakudan|Ice bomb}}) is a [[pack]] item introduced in {{p4}}. They look like light blue [[Bomb Rock]]s 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 destroy [[breakable pots]] or any type of [[gate]].

Up to 5 per day can be purchased with 8 [[raw material]]s each in the lab after {{sparklium|p4|1,500}} [[Sparklium]] has been collected. In the side mode [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], [[Olimar]] gains Ice Blasts as bonuses for recovering [[ship part]]s 24 and 29. They can also be found in [[dirt mound]]s and dropped from [[Doodlebug]]s.
 
== Uses ==
[[File:Holding an iceblast.jpg|thumb|The player who is about to throw an ice blast.]]
Ice Blasts can be used in multiple ways.
 
=== Freezing enemies ===
When playing ''Pikmin 4'', there may be some enemies that are challenging and hard to defeat. With the ice blast, the player can throw it at one of the critters and watch them freeze immediately for a few seconds. Not all enemies can be frozen. Also, when the player defeats a frozen enemy, they won't receive the body. Instead, they will receive a handful of [[nectar]], [[ultra-spicy spray]] or both.
 
These enemies cannot be frozen:
 
*{{icon|Ancient Sirehound|y|v=P4}} (Ice Phase)
*{{icon|Arctic Cannon Beetle|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Arctic Cannon Larva|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Blizzarding Blowhog|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Chillyhop|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Dwarf Frosty Bulborb|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Freezecake|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Frosty Bulborb|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Iceblown Dweevil|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Icy Blowhog|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Snowfake Fluttertail|y|v=P4}}
*{{icon|Snowy Blowhog|y|v=P4}}
 
Additionally, all Pikmin types except for [[Ice Pikmin|Ice]] and [[Glow Pikmin|Glow]] will become frozen if in the radius of Ice Blast explosions. This also applies to enemy Pikmin of those types in [[Dandori Battle]]s. Oatchi too will become frozen if the {{Oatchi|Thermal Defense}} is not equipped.
 
===Freezing water===
If an ice blast is tossed into a body of water, it will freeze it for a little while. The player can use this as a replacement for [[Ice Pikmin]] if none are on hand, it also freezes any enemies which are in the water. However, the effect will not last very long. Both deep and shallow mud pools can be frozen as well.
 
=== Freezing hydro jelly ===
A [[hydro jelly]] can be frozen by either using [[Ice Pikmin]] or an Ice Blast. It can then be shattered by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], [[Oatchi]], another explosive, or a combination of these.
