Melon Dynamite

"Not to be confused with Candy Dynamite, a Rare Treasure."

Melon Dynamite is an Epic Treasure released on September 27th, 2020. Once the Treasure has fully charged up, the player can use the Slide button to cause the Melon Dynamite to explode, spraying Ore Jellies worth points out.

This Treasure was released alongside of Melon Bun Cookie.

Melon Dynamite is a green dynamite detonator, likely chosen to be such because Candy Dynamite was already dynamite sticks. It has the pattern found on melon buns on its top and handle, and cautionary colors on its middle.

Story
''Dynamite crafted from ripe melon squares. It must be packed with lots of melons since a sweet smell vibrates from the chamber.''

Background
Coupled as a release with Melon Bun Cookie, this Treasure was made to suit the mining theme by being a tool frequently used in mines. It fittingly is also melon, like the Cookie it was released with. It presumably gives off a constant scent of melons, which is stated to be caused by the amount of melons that it was packed with. Whether this means that melons are normally used as an explosive or this dynamite has been packed unusually isn't certain, but it seems to be very effective.

Effect
An explosion counter starts at certain intervals. When the explosion counter is active, tap the Slide Button to light the fuse. Once the fuse is burned up, the Treasure will detonate. The point of detonation will destroy all nearby obstacles and create Ore Jellies. Level Up for more points for Ore Jellies.
 * Standard: Explodes every 20.0 sec to create 10 Ore Jellies worth pts
 * Enhanced: + Explosion Points

Strategy
 Overall rating 

Melon Dynamite is a decent Treasure that gives out a nice, generally flat rate of points. It should be noted that Ore Jellies can be missed by being too far away from them, but under most circumstances will magnetize themselves over to the Cookie that is currently running. As the points are from collecting the Ore Jellies rather than just activating the Treasure, it is possible to miss out points if a Cookie runs out of Energy and ends a run in the middle of Melon Dynamite creating an explosion, as the Ore Jellies cannot be collected in that state. However, the points for the explosion will still be awarded as long as the player has obtained Melon Dynamite's Enhancement and is in the process of the Cookie collapsing from lack of Energy by the time the explosion is set off.

Melon Dynamite has an advantage over Treasures like Walnut Nutcracker due to being able to store its activations, meaning if the player is unable to slide to activate its effect quickly, it can still get the full potential of its points.

Trivia

 * Melon Dynamite is the second dynamite-based Treasure in Cookie Run: OvenBreak, with Candy Dynamite being the first, released nearly four years prior to it.
