When he explodes, he makes the same exploding sound as the Potato Mine and the Primal Potato Mine.The Surfer Zombie's surfboard can trigger his explosion but is not affected by it, due to being invincible during the smashing animation.If he is at his third degrade and is bound by an octopus, the octopus will emit a white glow.This plant and Pumpkin are the only returning plants that are special-edition premium plants.Explode-O-Nut has the same watering animation as Wall-nut.Despite nitroglycerin being a highly volatile and explosive substance, Explode-o-nut can't be triggered by the torch from the Explorer/Torchlight Zombie.Unlike from the first game, which is a Wall-nut recolored a vibrant red, Explode-O-Nut in this game is a rounder and shorter Wall-nut with a red glow and an angry expression.Please note that only official translations are used. Like always, this is not a good plant to use in levels where you're not allowed to lose plants, as usually he's meant to be an expendable plant, and there are other nuts for defensive purposes anyway. This is effective against the Gargantuar since one Explode-O-Nut explosion is like a Cherry Bomb explosion (in terms of damage and area), which means he will explode and kill the Gargantuar.

Feed Plant Food to Explode-O-Nut, and then if he's hit twice, he will kill all Gargantuars in his explosion range from both explosions. You can use Explode-O-Nut to kill a Gargantuar efficiently. Stronger plants will speed up this process, as well as plant food. Place Explode-O-Nut in front of a Jester Zombie, and then have a physical-projectile-shooting plant shoot at him, and he will deflect their shots at the Explode-O-Nut, only to cause the explosion to trigger faster than normal. Speaking of Jester Zombies, you can actually use their abillity to your advantage to get Explode-O-Nut's explosion to trigger more quickly. Pairing Explode-O-Nut with Shrinking Violet can destroy Gargantuars in one explosion. His fast recharge also compliments him, because of being able to keep up with the pace of the game.

Beware of Explorer Zombies, though, as they can be spawned through their respective world portal and quickly burn Explode-O-Nut without triggering his explosion. Also, in Dark Ages, take caution of Imp Dragon Zombies as they are immune to the explosion.Įxplode-O-Nut particularly shines in Highway to the Danger Room, due to being able to shut down large hordes of Newspaper Zombies, All-Star Zombies, and dangerous zombies that spawn through the portal, such as Jester Zombie, Pianist Zombie, and Barrel Roller Zombie. Attacks that can transform or neutralize plants such as Wizard Zombie, Octo Zombie, and Hunter Zombie are also a threat too. This also applies to Excavator Zombie, Ankylosaurus and Fisherman Zombie. If the player uses him in Far Future, the player should be aware of the Mecha-Football Zombie, as it can push Explode-O-Nut to the left tile instead of detonating him. If the player has him, they can pair him with Imitater, as the player can easily get a whole row of these plants as fast as possible, and then use them as cheap instant-kills. The only exception is Explorer Zombie/ Torchlight Zombie, but only if their torch is still lit, and Super-Fan Imp exploding. Else, he can explode as if he was a delayed time bomb that can only countdown if zombies attempt to destroy him. Some zombies will make him explode by using their abilities like Barrel Roller Zombie, Pianist Zombie or a Gargantuar. This is essentially placing down Cherry Bombs for 50 sun.
