Boulder

Boulders are obstacles appearing as large rocks that can crush anything they land on or roll over. They can fall from above and be produced or utilized by enemies. In, boulders appear in some caves. In, boulders fall faster than those in Pikmin 2, and Rock Pikmin are immune to being crushed by them.

In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers, boulders are primarily spat out by members of the lithopod family, including a new variant covered in tar that is utilised by the Tropical Cannon Beetle and its larva. The falling variation is much more uncommon than in, and usually appears as a direct result of a particularly powerful attack. The Freshwater Ribbifin can make boulders fall during its rematch in Gladiator's Gulch. In Desperado Ditch, detonating dynamite via the use of plunger boxes often makes boulders fall from the ceiling, especially if the dynamite opens a hole that lets light into the cave.
