More than 3 explosions counts as this trope.
 
{{examples|Examples from Video Games}}
 
== Simple destruction after or with the series of explosions ==
 
* The bosses in ''[[ActRaiser]]''
* The bosses in ''[[Moon Crystal]]''. It's strange because large part of the bosses are living creatures.
Line 71 ⟶ 70:
* The floating island in the end of chapter 6 of ''[[Meat Boy|Super Meat Boy]]'' with the help of [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]].
* ''[[Cyborg Justice]]'' has every inch of the [[Final Boss]] explode 4 times.
* Bosses in ''[[De CapDecap Attack]]''
* Bosses and minibosses in ''[[Dynamite Duke]]''
* Many bosses, minibosses and pieces of scenery in ''[[Dynamite Headdy]]''.

== Anime & Manga ==
 
* In ''[[Gundam Wing]]'', Space Fortress Barge does this after having [[Wave Motion Gun|its main cannon]] cleaved open by Zechs Merquise and Epyon's beam saber.
* [[Inuyasha|Sesshoumaru]]'s {{spoiler|true sword, Bakusaiga}}, utterly destroys everything it cuts, and ''everything that touches what it cuts''.
 
=== Film ===
 
* Two examples from ''[[Star Wars]]'':
** The second Death Star in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' exhibits this before its final explosion.
** In ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'', the Trade Federation ship explodes at random points all over its hull before engulfing the command section after Anakin puts two proton torpedoes into one of the reactors.
 
=== Live Action TV ===
 
* In the ''[[Stargate Verse]]'' it is a preferable destruction animation of ships destruction but these explosions hardly count as small.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'' [[Monster of the Week]] types tend to spark a lot before dramatically falling and then going up in a huge ball of [[Made of Explodium|explodium]].
 
=== Real Life ===
 
* Fireworks factory and fireworks storage explosions are some of the closest it's possible to get to this trope without deliberately setting it up.
* Similarly, the Arkema plant in Crosby, Texas, which went up in a chain reaction of organic peroxide explosions after it lost power to it refrigerated containment after Hurricane Harvey in 2017; topped off by the deliberate detonation of the remaining unstable chemicals at the end by Arkema officials.
