Cherry Bomb is a power-up plant in Plants vs. Zombies 3. It explodes and deals heavy damage to all zombies in a 3x3 area.

Origins

It is based on the plant of the same name from the original Plants vs. Zombies, however its design more closely resembles its Plants vs. Zombies 2 appearance.

Its explosion onomatopoeia, "CHA-BOOF", is also taken from its Plants vs. Zombies 2 appearance.

In the Pre-2021 version of Plants vs. Zombies 3, Cherry Bomb was an explosive plant unlocked by the player after beating Floor 11 of Devour Tower.

Unlike its appearances in previous games, it was not a reusable, playable plant. Instead, it appeared as part of the UI alongside the seed packets, Sunflower and her sun meter, and the Plant Food slots.

It costed no sun to use but the player could only use it once per level. It could be upgraded at the Jubilee Nightclub to be able to deal more damage when used.

Strategies

Use Cherry Bomb how you'd use it in the previous games, using it to get rid of tough zombies. Just know that your Cherry Bomb supply is limited, so you must use it at the best possible moment-it can save the game. If you use it at a time when unneeded, you will have fewer to use later in the level, and there may be a time you will need it desperately later.

Trivia

• Despite being part of the UI, and not an actual playable plant, it had a seed packet in the Pre-2021 version.
• During the Pre-Alphas, his placeholder sprite was a HD image of the Cherry Bomb from Plants vs. Zombies 2.
• A neon sign of Cherry Bomb appeared on top of the Jubilee Nightclub.
