Dynamite

Dynamite is an item that appears in most Plants vs. Zombies games. It has different functions in each game.

Plants vs. Zombies
Dynamite is an explosive in the online version of the Plants vs. Zombies puzzle, Vasebreaker. It is used as a substitute for the Jack-in-the-Box Zombie, as it does not appear in the online Adventure Mode because the player cannot go far enough in Adventure Mode to encounter it. Dynamite acts exactly like a Jack-in-the-Box Zombie with exactly the same detonation time, although its range is larger (it can destroy plants two squares away if it is directly to the left of the dynamite).

Plants vs. Zombies Adventures
The dynamite is a boost in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures. It can be generated by the police station in the Police Station Lot. It can clear trash and make more space for plants to be planted.

Plants vs. Zombies 2
Prospector Zombie uses its dynamite to detonate close to the player's Lawn Mowers. Iceberg Lettuce, Winter Melon, Snow Pea and Hurrikale can prevent the Prospector Zombie's dynamite from detonating. Snapdragon and peas which passed through Torchwood will relight the fuse. Heavy amounts of damage can also stop Prospector Zombies from blasting to the left side of the lawn.

Trivia

 * The design for the dynamite is the same as in many types of cartoons.﻿ It also resembles the dynamite from TipTop, another PopCap game.
 * The dynamite from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures is the only kind that works with the player.
