I swear, pikmin 2 caves have a kaizo mod pre-installed or something

Illustrated a moment from my most recent time playing through pikmin 2. I was in the submerged castle when Olimar died around sublevel 2 or 3, I was left with Louie at low health. At the start of sub level 4, before I even went past any of the gates, I had 10 bomb rocks dropped on me. Later on, when I was trying to rush my way to the next sublevel, I had 8 bomb rocks dropped in sequence like bread crumbs, couldn't just go to the exit because it had to be broken open.
