Bomb Rock Strategies
Unlike the single player game, you can pick up large bomb-rocks by simply by walking into them. Press A to throw one, or B to set one down. In both cases, the bomb will be activated. This makes it possible to use them as weapons.
- When your opponent is occupied and cannot react, you can get rid of a number of his/her Pikmin by throwing a bomb-rock at a group of idle Pikmin. Note that bomb-rocks are thrown further than the pointer's reach.
- You can also lure enemy Pikmin into attacking you and then detonate a bomb-rock near yourself, killing all the offending Pikmin and leaving you damaged but still alive, that is assuming you haven't taken too much damage already.
- If your opponent is being accompanied by a large number of Pikmin, you can strike a bomb-rock to start the countdown, then pick it up and chase him or her, allowing the bomb-rock to explode in your hands and eliminating a chunk of the opponent's army.
- Note that you can use an ultra-bitter spray on a live bomb-rock to stop its countdown for eight seconds.
- If you're occupied helping your pikmin fight, you can throw a bomb rock at enemy pikmin trying to carry your marble away.
