Sonic Jump series

Sonic Jump (2012)

In the 2012 remake of Sonic Jump, this power-up is called Bomb. In this game, it can be found randomly inside TVs. In gameplay in this game, when obtaining this power-up, its effect will presist for a short duration, thereby allowing the player to destroy any additional enemy that appears on the screen while Bomb is active along with those that already were on the screen when the power-up was activated. Bomb can also be bought from the game's shop for 100 Rings or 300 Rings for x5 bundle.

Sonic Jump Fever

Destroys Badniks and increases combo for extra points! — In-game description, Sonic Jump Fever

In Sonic Jump Fever, this power-up is referred to as the Detonate for the first time. Like the power-up in Sonic Jump (2012), Detonates are found randomly inside TVs and when in use, all on-screen enemies will be destroyed for a short time. However, if the player falls off-screen, the effect immediately ends. The player can refresh the duration of Detonate by collecting additional Detonate TVs and extend its base duration by spending Rings to upgrade each individual user.
