Explode-o-nut

Explode-o-nut is the explosive version of the Wall-nut found only in Level 1-5, Wall-nut Bowling, Wall-nut Bowling 2, and Co-op Bowling that explode with a range of a Cherry Bomb. They do not cost any sun, as the Wall-nut Bowling games are conveyor-belt levels. If the player blows up more than five zombies, it will still not award the player the Roll Some Heads achievement. They do not blow up if they do not hit a zombie.

Strategies

 * See Wall-nut Bowling and Wall-nut Bowling 2 for more strategies.

Just save them for huge waves of zombies. They will blow up the instant they touch a zombie, so launch them in the middle of a horde, not the front. They are powerful enough to immediately destroy any zombie (except the Gargantuar and Zomboni; the latter takes damage from the explosion as one Wall-nut), making them great opponents for tougher zombies like the Buckethead Zombie, Screen Door Zombie, or Gargantuar.

To make full use of the explosion area, instead of rolling them at a group of zombies, wait until the group of zombies crosses the line far enough and plant one in the middle of them. Also roll them on the second and fourth lanes when a flat wave of zombies comes, as they instantly blow up large amounts of zombies on the screen (excluding Gargantuars and Zombonis).

Trivia

 * The Explode-o-nut is the only explosive plant that cannot harm zombies that are above the ground, because other explosives can hit zombies while jumping or Balloon Zombies.
 * Through hacking, it is possible to place the Explode-o-nut on any level, but the Explode-o-nut does only what a regular Wall-nut would do. However, it will not degrade.
 * Through the User File Editor, the Explode-o-nut can be placed in the Zen Garden.
 * The Explode-o-nut and Cherry Bomb are the only plants that explode with a "POWIE!" onomatopoeia.
