Not to be confused with Dynamite.

TNT crates are items in Bad Piggies. They can explode manually (by clicking its button below the screen or itself directly) or if it collides with something with enough force. It’s usually use to boost the pig up or launch something.  When detonated, it provides light for a split second in dark levels.  Bat Pigs can be seen holding it in some levels of The Road to El Porkado, where they will drop it when triggered by light.

Usage[]

  • TNT is good for making a last part dash or for disposing of a unwanted part of the device. (The Detacher would be safer, but is rarely available).
  • TNT will propel you in the opposite direction (of where it is in relation to you) and will give you a surge of speed, but will probably break your contraption. If you want to reach a time limit, hitting the TNT can get you to the checkpoint in time (if the pig doesn't bounce around.).
  • Do not underestimate the power of TNT. It can decouple or break even the strongest machines.
  • Metal should be able to resist the blow if it is face first, however it is over a hinge it will crack but may still hold its load. 
  • If you are on a part limit, you can use the TNT as a makeshift box, but it cannot hold things in it or link to anything (unlike a normal Frame, besides that part itself), and it can still explode, so beware of that. 
  • It is important to remember that TNT stacks, and can be used to launch Ross or other items very far.
    • However, Pig King or Golden Pig will barely get any kinetic energy from TNT. This might be due to piss-poor programming (likely heaviness not actually conserving mass, instead only slowing objects down), or some rounding errors regarding collision, since they take up a 2x3 grid and therefore arent suited for the regular physics calculations by the engine.

Variations[]

  • TNT's one-star variation is a green box with yellow text saying NITRO, and is a reference to Crash Bandicoot.
  • TNT's two-star variation is a sphere bomb with a green pig snout painted onto it.
  • TNT's three-star variations include a present and a pumpkin. The present does not have TNT lettering on it, instead bearing a tag with the lettering. The pumpkin emits candy particles when detonated.
  • An alien variation of TNT exists. This variation allows the TNT to explode infinitely, while also removing the ability to explode on impact or as a result of another explosion. It has a different lettering on it, as well. It doesn't work in dark levels, though.

Trivia[]

  • There are times that the TNT will just disappear when it explodes, without leaving any smoke behind.
  • TNT is sometimes scattered around some levels of Bad Piggies. These may be hazards or, in some cases, vital for obtaining a star.
    • These cannot be manually detonated, and do not detonate from ambient explosions. They will only trigger when in contact with another active phyisics object. (which can only be your contraption, with only one exception in The Road To El Porkado.).
  • TNT also appears in Angry Birds, where it can be detonated by being hit. It looks the same.
  • Natural (pre-placed) TNT and TNT used in contraptions don't ignite each other if they land on top of each other (with a few exceptions.). They can still ignite each other if detonated close to each other.
  • TNT is unique in that it can be placed in boxes, but can also be used to connect two boxes together without being framed in one. The only other parts capable of doing this is the Boxing Glove, and to a much lesser degree, King Pig and Golden Pig.
  • The Tier II fireworks are explosive similar to TNT, but with a smaller explosion. They also have a small TNT label on them. They trigger TNT, but not other fireworks, opening up some creative uses for them.
  • There are some instances of levels where placing TNTs 4 or 5 spaces at different points around Ross will cause him to clip through the level, a few Star Boxes can be obtained using this.
