Explosive Ball

The Explosive Ball (internally, nitroballs) makes the balls explosive for a short time, obliterating glass in large chunks, and spreading the explosive force elsewhere (especially when hitting stone blocks). It's useful for players with usually misfired or clustered aims.

It is also very good for taking down lasers, however the balls will break on hitting the laser beams (and anything else, even the stone blocks). When they explode, the ball dissapears, making a spark, some smoke is left behind, and the room shakes. The balls may even emit smoke when flying, and a red gradient.

Trivia

 * When the balls touch ANYTHING (even other balls, glass shards, etc.) they will explode.
 * The balls have a red tint. In screenshots, to distinguish between normal and explosive ones, look for red-tinted balls. Unlike when Ball Frenzy is activated, instead of all balls being tinted red when the power-up is activated, only balls thrown when it's activated are red.
 * The Garbatron prototype has red explosive boxes that function similar to the explosive ball.
 * The internal name of this Power Up is "nitroballs".
 * An image of Checkpoint 3's group of 3 pyramids features an Explosive Ball. The power-up could only be acquired through the Random Rooms Glitch.
 * They can also be found in the Test Segments.
 * In versions 0.8.0 and 0.9.0, fireballs had a yellow color instead of a red tint.
