Trip stone



The trip stone is a variant of bomb rock that operates using a tripwire. The base resembles a Rock Pikmin, and any Pikmin can carry the explosive from it. After a trip stone is set up, any enemy, Pikmin, or leader that disturbs the wire will become stunned for twenty seconds.

In order to set up a trip stone, a Pikmin must be thrown where the base will be positioned and then thrown again to establish where the pointed end will be positioned. After this, the trap will have been successfully set up. Note that the pointed end must be thrust into a solid surface, such as dirt, stone, or wood, but not metal. Additionally, the wire connecting the two parts of the trap together cannot be too close together, or else too much slack would be present in the wire for the explosive to function. The pointed end also has a limited range from the base, meaning the base and the pointed tip cannot be stretched too far apart.
