A TNT crate

TNT (trinitrotoluene) crates, also known as Dynamite, TNT boxes, or simply a TNT, is an explosive object in the Angry Birds franchise, mostly used by pigs. Once struck, TNT crates explode, destroying objects within a short radius, sending things flying away within a larger one. TNT crates can prove to be quite useful for the player since a large, fortified structure can fall when blown up. TNT crates appear in most of the games, with few exceptions.

TNT exploding

Game appearances

Angry Birds

Poached Eggs 3-8, where there are three TNT crates in a fortress with pigs, from the international version of the original Angry Birds.

In Angry Birds, TNT Crates are first seen in Poached Eggs 2-15, and if hit, they give the player 500 points and explode upon contact, they are useful for defeating pigs, if they are destroyed in a huge mass. They are wooden crates with a label written "TNT" on it.

• In Birdday Party, there is another variation called Exploding Cake. The Exploding Cake, also known as TNT Cake, is a type of black cake with the words "TNT" on it. When hit, it does something a little different. Instead of causing a huge mass, it turns into frosting like balls and doesn't seem to do much damage from the TNT crate itself, though it has a similar idea.
• In Short Fuse, Cylinder Bottles are another alternative variation to dynamites, but can fly and explode 3 seconds after activation. The strength of such cylinders is equal to that of ordinary dynamite.

Angry Birds Seasons

A Black Pumpkin

A Red Nose

TNT appears as the same object as in the first game (TNT was introduced in Trick or Treat 1-8), but there are some interesting variations of it, such as Black Pumpkins that act as TNT in Halloween episodes, Gas Tanks that give a small explosion, but they are also useful, an Iron Furnace used to explode, but normal in the same way as TNTs, and also the Red Nose in Abra-Ca-Bacon can explode but they are not that useful. Other useful things like an Allaka Bam are used (if being activated by Power Ups too) to summon three boxes made of Iron with a yellow star in the middle. When it falls onto the ground with no movements (the similar way as TNT Drop too), the boxes will turn blue and become explosive, just similar to a TNT Drop and the ordinary TNT.

Angry Birds Rio

TNT appears as the same thing once again. There are other types of variations of it: 

• Gas Bottle: A very weaker bomb, emits fire when explodes. Appears in Rio Levels.
• Fire Extinguisher: Harder to destroy, weaker explosion.
• TNT Cardboard Box: A weaker version of TNT, easier to destroy. Appears in both versions.
• Upright TNT Barrel: A version of TNT that can be activated by power, a bit stronger. Appears in Rio 2 Levels.
• Rolling TNT Barrel: A barrel of TNT on its side. Appears in Rio 2 levels.

Main article: TNT Drop

• TNT Drop: (similar to ordinary TNTs) A type of TNT which summons three explosive iron crates randomly near a structure (if a TNT lands on an unstable structure, they will fall with a parachute to land safety.) if it's being activated by power ups. When is on the ground particularly with no movements, the iron crates will turn into yellow-reddish crates and loses their metallic fortifications, with a white label in the center of it.

Angry Birds Chrome

TNT is replaced by Chrome Bombs in Chrome Dimension, which works the same way.

Angry Birds Volcano

TNT appears as the same, with no changes made to appearance.

Angry Birds in The Hunt For The Golden Pistachio

TNT appears as the same but they know have a Pistachio label on them and launch pistachios when they explode.

Angry Birds Friends

TNT appears in the levels of both story and tournament levels. It first appears in level 4 of Surf and Turf (if considered in the order of episodes).

In the weekly tournaments (Such as the Angry Birds Tournament), they appear as diverse variations, such as Barrel, Dynamite, Gift Box, etc.

In the Winter Tournament, there was a gift power up with gifts falling from the sky, then they unwrap into TNT crates, which all explode.

There is now a power-up called Boombox, that can be launched and parachuted at the pigs. If it reaches a hard object, it will explode. But, sometimes, it only gets damaged. There's also a TNT Drop Power-Up in the Star Cup, that is made out of iron, parachute themselves and unwrap the iron if nothing is happening.

In the 2018 Holiday Tournaments, TNT was replaced with Christmas TNT presents.

There are two variations of the TNT. The normal and iron. The normal is the same as before and the iron is harder to destroy, giving a bit more damage.

Angry Birds Go!

In Angry Birds Go!, TNT crates serve as common, yet dangerous obstacles. They will blow up when collided into, slowing down the racer who crashed into them.

Angry Birds Stella

The Explosive Fruit Box is a replacement for the traditional dynamite in Angry Birds Stella. It is a wooden box with black fruit that vaguely resembles a peeled pomegranate. Has medium destructive power. According to the plot, it was these fruits that some Boom Pig, which after that began to explode during the crush. Occasionally, individual exploding fruits and a box of iron-bound fruit appear.

In the bonus levels however, a few more explosive box variantions:

• Vortex Box: A yellow box with 4 arrows pointing at a circle. Destroying it pulls all objects toward the center for a couple of seconds. Appears after reaching XP Level 4.
• Box of Coins: A treasure box that blows up just like the explosive fruit box and releases 5 coins afterwards. Appears after reaching XP Level 8.
• Geyser Box: A yellow box with a big arrow pointing up. Destroying it forces all objects in the area upwards. Appears after reaching XP Level 20.
