Explosive is an attack type in the Super Smash Bros. series that encompasses fire-based and explosive attacks.

Explosive attacks are boosted by Explosives Attack stickers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary and the Support Spirit skill Fire & Explosion Attack ↑ as well as certain Spirit Battle conditions in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, explosive attacks are resisted by the Spirit skill or trait Fire/Explosion Resist ↑ and deal more damage to fighters equipped with a Primary Spirit with the trait Fire Weakness. It is unclear whether these Spirits and conditions also affect attacks with the flame effect; the primary Spirit trait Fire Attack ↑ would appear to only boost attacks with the flame effect rather than explosive attacks.

While explosive is separate to the effect flame, most explosive attacks also have the flame effect. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ivysaur's bulb blasts are the only fighter attack to be explosive without being flame (they are Explosive/Grass instead). Not all attacks that can cause explosions are explosive-type.
