Sound Description
Music
Renaissance Zombot Phase 1 - New Galliard (复兴序曲). All three phases are composed by @窝窝头Runkeben.[5]
Renaissance Zombot Phase 2 - Cervelli Hymn (大脑赞美诗). The hymn at the final part supposedly sings "brain" in Italian, but is pronounced like "cervil grande". "Cervil" is presumably "cervello" (singular "brain/cerebrum" in Italian) with the final syllable missing, and "grande" is the Italian of "big" with singular grammatical agreement.

Trivia

  • Many Chinese exclusive worlds in Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 use loop music.
  • Some of the music are remixes of music from the first game. For example, the Player's House and Modern Day have a remix of "Grasswalk," and Kongfu World is a remix of the seed selection music.
    • There are remixes of "Ultimate Battle" and "Brainiac Maniac" in the thems of every world except Neon Mixtape Tour.
      • Modern Day also has a "Graze the Roof" and a "Zombie on Your Lawn" remix.
  • The Outro, Ultimate Battle, Demonstration Minigame, Zomboss Intro and Losing themes of Ancient Egypt were made by Peter McConnell. The rest of the themes of the world were composed by Laura Shigihara.
  • Since the 6.3.1 update in Plants vs. Zombies 2, all levels play their world's theme. Ultimate Battle and Demonstration Mini-game soundtracks have been removed.
  • Since the 1.8.0 update in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 on iOS and 2.0.0 update on Android (consider that all world except Neon Mixtape Tour on Android version using incomplete first wave music from Ancient Egypt from 1.5.0 to 1.9.0), Kongfu World's boss battle levels (Ultimate Challenge and Evil Invasion) uses the level theme instead of the Boss Battle theme.
  • From 1.5.0 to 2.0.0 in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 on Android, all world's music, Ultimate Battle music and Brainiac Maniac were deleted. Due to the music deletion, all world's music were replaced by low quality incomplete Ancient Egypt first wave (while choose your seed part replaced by beginning notes of Player's House music) except Neon Mixtape Tour jams (however, they're still in low quality and certain sections are cut).
    • The iOS version since 1.5.0 also downgraded all music's quality, removed all Ultimate Battle, Demonstration Mini-game and boss battle music and cut a lot of music (Ancient Egypt using same track that Android version uses, Pirate Seas and Wild West nearly being pure ambience, and all other worlds lacking one mid-wave track).
    • Although Android version since 2.0.0 began to restore music, it only restored post-1.5.0 version music used on iOS.
      • 3.2.7/3.2.8 fully restored every world's music to high quality, and added back the Ultimate Battle, Demonstration Minigame and boss themes for every world, even including the lost unused Demonstration Minigame track for Big Wave Beach.
  • The composer's video of Need for Sun contains a scrapped segment at the end.
