'''Reinforced walls''' (also known as '''stone walls'''{{cite quote|The bomb-rocks are dangerous, so I must take care when using them, but they should be able to blast open the stone walls that block the pathways!|Captain Olimar|a [[Olimar's monologs|monolog]]}}, '''rock walls'''{{cite quote|These creatures can wield bomb-rocks, so perhaps I can use them to blast down rock walls and open up new regions.|Captain Olimar|the [[Olimar's voyage log|voyage log]]}}, '''rock gates'''{{cite quote|Only bomb-rocks can destroy rock gates, and only yellow Pikmin can carry the explosives.|The Forest of Hope section 4-C "Blasting the Wall"|the ''Pikmin'' Nintendo Player's Guide}} or '''stone gates'''{{cite web|https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii/NEW-PLAY-CONTROL-Pikmin-282343.html#Surviving_the_Planet|NEW PLAY CONTROL! Pikmin|Nintendo.co.uk}}) are [[gate]]s that can only be destroyed with [[bomb rock]]s. Pikmin cannot break these stone walls on their own; if they are directed to the wall, they will briefly attempt to attack the wall like they would any other gate, before eventually sighing and giving up.

In {{p1}}, two visually distinct types of reinforced walls appear in its [[Story Mode|story mode]]: "white" walls, which require either three or six bomb rocks to go down depending on the individual wall, and "black" walls which always require nine six bomb rocks. In ''Pikmin''{{'s}} [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], all the reinforced walls are white and take two bomb-rocks to fully demolish, with the first bomb-rock taking the taking the wall down by two out of its three segments. In {{p3}} and {{p4}}, three bomb rocks are required to destroy a reinforced wall (except for one wall in the [[Battle Enemies!]] version of [[Clockwork Chasm]] that only requires one bomb rock).

In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', reinforced walls seem to be made out of concrete, as pieces of rebar can be seen sticking out of the top. In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', most of these walls have designs featuring thin white lines in the shape of [[Olimar]] and some [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].
