If you ever feel useless, remember the Emperor Bulblax in Pikmin 1 and 2, and that P1 Bulblax drops pellets. Also, I’m pretty sure that 53 bomb rocks is the equivalent of a low-quality, homemade pipe bomb.
Yup. There's 2 ways to stun him with those. The easiest: make him eat one (although that usually means he eats the yellow pikmin that is holding it, but as @Jabo01 said below, that's not necessarily the case, if you throw the Yellow Pikmin in just the right way, you can avoid that), but that doesn't stun him for long; the harder: make him lick an active bomb, just like it's shown in the video, and although it requires some good timing, it stuns him for a longer period of time. The more bombs he eats/licks, the longer he gets stunned.

I do this exact set up and every single time my yellows decide that someone else, not me, whistled them back to the squad and they don't drop their rocks
There are three spawning points around the arena for the emperor that hold around 11 - 12 bombs apiece. And, I'm guessing there are a similar number of bombs around that point you need to throw yellows at initially in order to get to the emperor.
So if you use every single available bomb rock in the arena all at once it will straight up cause the Emperor Bulblax to be completely motionless for you to finish the job? Suppose that is one method on how to get the secret safe back
Yeah it’s a really good tactic. It only works on the GameCube version though because the Pikmin don’t drop the bombs when you whistle on the Wii version, so if you’re playing this on the Wii you just gotta fight him the old fashioned way

Yeah when Pikmin with bombs are thrown, they drop the bomb rocks after being called back. If they’re simply dismissed, then they’ll still hold their bombs when called.
It's kinda sad how easy this boss can be cheesed in the GameCube version. In the Wii version though they got rid of the feature that make them drop the rock when you call back the Pikmin so it takes longer to beat in the Wii version. Also bonus points for not just letting all your Pikmin get eaten.
My traumatized 13 year old mind gets inconceivable levels of satisfaction in watching this mf get nuked (literally). Can't tell you how happy this video makes me.
the emperor bulblax in pikmin 1 has 30000 health, so those bombs dealt almost 15000 damage given how they alone almost brought the emperor bulblax to half health
0:53 podría jurar que la explosión de 12 bombas suena más estruendoso que esto. Igualmente comer 53 bombas es una buena razón para quedar aturtido un buen rato xd
Yeah, I always miss the timing and only manage to take down about 3/4ths of his health at most before he wakes back up. Admittedly I was only using around 40 - 43 bomb rocks. So the additional 10 may have helped me clear him. Though, I always tend to miss the recall time so I end up losing all of my yellows in the process of setting him up to die. Oh well, it may have cost me over 250 Pikmin to beat him, but I eventually brought him down.
I wish that the Yellows would have dropped the bombs in the Wii version, that’d would’ve been really helpful. I guess they didn’t keep that feature from the GameCube version 💀
