-'''Bomb-rocks''' are explosive rocks in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Upon being activated, their fuse starts going down (represented by a [[Health#Health wheel|colored wheel]]), and when it reaches zero, the rock causes a violent explosion, capable of killing Pikmin and severely hurting [[leader]]s and enemies. 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 3'' they can be found in Dirt Mounds and eggs.
+[[File:Bombrock.png|thumb|300px|Official Art of a Bomb Rock.]]'''Bomb Rocks''' are explosive rocks in the ''Pikmin'' games. They are used as an explosive force or weapon in the games they are found in, both for the player and by certain enemies.
+==Differences Between Games==
-[[Image:Bomb-rock.jpg|thumb|A bomb-rock about to explode in ''Pikmin 2''.]]
+===''Pikmin''===
-In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', they are much larger and cannot be carried by Yellow Pikmin, but can be detonated by attacking them. 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. 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]], 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.
-[[Emperor Bulblax]]es can be tricked into eating bomb-rocks. In ''Pikmin'', if one makes a Yellow Pikmin drop a bomb-rock just as the creature is preparing its tongue, it'll swallow it and take some damage, as well as being temporarily stunned. If the explosion occurs when the tongue touches the bomb-rock, it'll stun the Emperor even further. In ''Pikmin 2'', the same strategy can be used, although it is harder because of the Pikmin being unable to carry bomb-rocks themselves. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', other enemies can be tricked into eating bomb-rocks, such as the [[Peckish Aristocrab]].
+In ''[[Pikmin 1|Pikmin]]'', the bomb rocks are much smaller than in future games. They can be carried only by [[Yellow Pikmin]], where their main purpose is to destroy [[Obstacles|Reinforced Walls]]. They can also be used to defeat enemies, and are particularly useful for doing so with bosses. When an enemy eats a Pikmin that is holding a bomb rock, it explodes inside the enemy, which will harm or even kill it. They are usually found inside tin cans, pipes, or large animal skulls. If there are idle Pikmin near the spot a Yellow Pikmin leaves its bomb rock for detonation, the thrown Yellow Pikmin will "call" these idle ones to him as he runs back to [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]]. The idle Pikmin will join Olimar, exactly as if the captain himself had whistled them.
+===''Pikmin 2''===
+In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', they are much larger and cannot be carried by Yellow Pikmin, but can be detonated by attacking them or by coming over to where it falls. In certain [[Cave|caves]], you can trick nearby [[Emperor Bulblax]]es into swallowing them, which will stun the beast and deal considerable damage. Bomb rocks 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.  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. To perform this action, run into a bomb rock and then press A again to throw it, or B to drop it.
+===''Pikmin 3''===
+In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Bomb Rocks are in between the sizes of ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''. In this game, '''''all '''''types of Pikmin are capable of carrying them. Though Pikmin may once again wield the explosives, they will now instantly drop the Bomb Rocks upon be thrown, as opposed to them waiting to be thrown at a wall or an enemy, as they do in the first game. This makes them harder to be transported. Pikmin will also never throw bomb rocks at enemies, like they did in ''Pikmin''. If an enemy seizes a Pikmin that is holding a bomb rock, they will grab/eat the bomb rock, (sometimes even sparing the Pikmin) which will explode and deal a massive amount of damage to the creature. They also have a stronger blast than they did in the first game, since it only takes one blast to kill a [[Red Bulborb]], whereas it takes at least two in the first game. In this game, Bomb Rocks can also be used to instantly unearth burried items by exploding them near said buried item, instantly destroy Dirt Walls, and '''2''' of them can also take out a Crystal Wall. While they are very useful items in this game, the player must take caution, as any on-screen sleeping enemies will be awoken by the blast. Bomb Rocks are scattered across the maps in Story Mode, and are in ''[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Bingo_Battle Bingo Battle]'' mode as a possible outcome of the cherry roulette.
+==Instant Explosion==
+[[File:Explosion.png|thumb|left|150px|A Bomb Rock Exploding.]]Bomb Rocks will explode with a shorter fuse when a [[Purple Pikmin]] is thrown directly onto them: be warned, though, that the Pikmin in question is most likely going to be engulfed in the blast. 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.
+==Minor Glitch==
+In ''Pikmin 2'', there is a small glitch regarding bomb rocks. In places where a Bomb rock falls near a [[Mitite]], such as the sixth [[sublevel]] of the [[Bulblax Kingdom]], there is a chance of the rock being launched back into the air if it lands on one, landing somewhere else on the Sublevel. It is also possible in the first two games that a yellow pikmin, when picking up a bomb rock, will attempt to pick it up, but will simply continue doing the pick-up animation. It will just stand there, lifting it up and dropping it until you call the pikmin back without the bomb rock. You can then throw the pikmin back and it should then pick it up fine.
 ==Controlling==

 In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the bomb-rocks return, now able to be held by Pikmin once more. They can be found inside eggs, Dirt Mounds, or in Mission Mode and Bingo Battle, Medusal Slurkers. All Pikmin types can now carry bomb-rocks. They can once again be used to destroy stone walls and defeat enemies. This time, all Pikmin are capable of carrying them. Controlling the way Pikmin behave with the bomb-rocks is much simpler in this game - the Pikmin will always keep hold of its bomb until it is thrown, in which case it will drop the rock exactly where it landed. When dismissed, any bomb-rock wielding Pikmin will separate from the group of their color, making it easier to get only the bombers.

+==Trivia==
+*It is suggested that [[Red Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] could once carry bomb rocks along with the [[Yellow Pikmin]] in the original ''Pikmin''. All Pikmin gain this ability in ''Pikmin 3''.
+*In ''Pikmin'', if a Yellow Pikmin is holding a Bomb Rock when it is called to the Onion, it will leave it beneath the pillar of light.
+*Bomb Rocks may have been inspired by cypress cones.
