In normal mode, the player has to beat the zombies at level 1.
Difficulty
Just like with any Special Delivery level in Big Wave Beach, you are given Peashooters. Against a huge number of Bucketheads, it can't do that much damage by itself. Thankfully this level showcases the Lotus Pod, an amphibious plant capable of doing huge damage with, of course, a tradeoff- it's slow attacking rate. The only threats in this level are the Bucketheads and the Fisherman Zombie.
Waves
- The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost lane.

Strategies
- Plant Peashooters only at the leftmost column.
- Plant Lotus Pods in front of Peashooters to make sure that Fisherman Zombie won't pull it.
- Use Tangle Kelps on Bucketheads. This is a must in the first few waves.
