A nitro button is a very simple piece of technology in Powder Game and Powder Game 2. A nitro button utilizes a unique property of nitro, in which it explodes if an element or object impacts it at a high-enough velocity, or simply causes it to move suddenly. Nitro buttons can either be triggered remotely through the use of a moving fuse or simply the element fuse. Because of their ability to be triggered remotely, nitro buttons are generally used as targets in gun uploads, where high-speed superball or wind will detonate them. This is generally considered more entertaining than using a target that does not explode upon contact.
