Why didn't Seaplane explode when stung by a mosquito?
Earlier in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle we see the dialogue:
Alex. What's up with all these candles?
Uh Citronella, one of my weaknesses is mosquitoes.
If Seaplane has a weakness to mosquitoes and is stung by one, why doesn't he immediately explode like other characters exposed to their weaknesses?
Best Answer
I assumed that this was because he was about to die. I mean, really die. It's the only instance of a player character losing their last life in the movie so in universe it made sense to me that it would be a different effect.
Sadly I could not find any sources confirming this.

Answer 2
This is one of those things that seems like it happened that way just because if it didn't the next plot point (Brittany/Sheldon giving a life) wouldn't have been able to happen. If Seaplane just exploded, then there's no body to revive. His body had to be present because it drives Brittany's motivation to save him. He's attractive, so if his body goes away, Brittany doesn't care anymore and there's nothing she can do to save him.
