Jack-in-the-box

Jack-in-the-Box is the item used by Jack-in-the-Box Zombies. It can be attracted by a Magnet-shroom. If a Magnet-shroom has not taken it, it will explode after a while, destroying all plants in a 3x3 range, like a Cherry Bomb. Once the Jack-in-the-box Zombie dies, it will disappear, so it is good to kill it before it explodes. On the web version of Plants vs. Zombies, it is replaced with Dynamite in Vasebreaker, because Jack-in-the-Box Zombies are not present in this version of the game.

Function
Jack-in-the-Box is carried by the Jack-in-the-Box Zombie. As long as its carrier is alive, Jack-in-the-Box generates a special melody, a remix of the famous nursery tune: Goes the Weasel Pop Goes the Weasel. If not pulled by a Magnet-shroom, it detonates after a while, killing all the plants in a 3x3 range of it along with its carrier. It scares its carrier by suprising it at a random time, triggering the sudden explotion.



Strategies

 * For more strategies, see Jack-in-the-Box Zombie.

Since it is magnetic, it is best to use Magnet-shroom. However, if you have a very powerful offensive strategy, you can just count on your offense to kill them.

Trivia

 * Even though the Jack-in-the-Box is modeled after a kid's toy, it explodes in the game.
 * When it explodes, it makes a Sproing!! sound, just like the Umbrella Leaf.
