[[File:Watermelon Fuse Bomb.png|thumb]]'''Watermelon Fuse Bombs'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 25.</ref> are projectile items appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. As the name implies, they are explosive watermelons. The [[Kong]]s can pick one up and throw it like a [[Barrel]] at enemies to defeat them, or at certain obstacles to break them, usually to reveal a secret [[Bonus Area]] entrance or a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]]. In these cases, the bomb would explode instantaneously; however, if the Kongs throw or drop it onto the ground, the fuse will continue to burn until it detonates by itself. If the Kongs are carrying or within range of the Watermelon Fuse Bomb when it explodes, they will lose one heart.

A Watermelon Fuse Bomb first appears in an unlit state in [[Shipwreck Shore]], where they will begin to ignite once the Kongs pick it up. Watermelon Fuse Bombs are also usually carried by [[Boom Bird]]s, and used by [[Harold (enemy)|Harold]]s as projectiles. Some Watermelon Fuse Bombs are also found underneath [[Item Handle|plugs]] in the ground. In the boss level Triple Trouble, Watermelon Fuse Bombs are used to defeat [[Ba-Boom]]. During the fight, Ba-Boom will also throw spiky bombs that resemble Watermelon Fuse Bombs, but they have a shorter fuse and cannot be picked up.

In [[Sea Stack Attack]], a special kind of Watermelon Fuse Bomb appears at the end of the level. This bomb grows in size as its fuse burns and kills the Kongs instantly upon exploding.
