This level combo is all about attacking in stalling, Jack O' Lantern is your main attacking plant however he would need to recharge to damage strong zombies such as: Buckethead Zombies, Pharaoh Zombies, and Gargantuars. Kernel-pult would be helpful in stalling zombies and damage weak zombies. however the butter effect has a rare chance, which is why you need to plant multiple ones to ensure that they can stall zombies. Infi-nut can also stall zombies to, but groups of Barrel Roller Zombie can easily crush them, so use Jack O' Lantern to easily destroy them. When Gargantuars come, constantly attack and plant Jack O' Lanterns to easily destroy him. Use Plant Food on Kernel-pult to stall them or Jack O' Lantern to deal damage.

This level is mostly filled with ambushes from: Swashbuckler Zombie, Bug Bot Imp, Lost Pilot Zombie, and Relic Hunter Zombie. So stalling them is a necessity, plant Wall-nuts in area's where these ambush zombies would spawn, so that they won't be a problem. They can easily be defeated by Jack O' Lantern, however Relic Hunter Zombie has a bit of tough health. Lightning Reed should be used to damage the zombies that appears here, Octo Zombie can easily wrap up Wall-nuts, however since Lighting Reed has splash damage it can damage octopus and zombies at once. Magnet-shroom will be very helpful in removing Buckets from Buckethead Zombies, making Lighting Reed more easier to defeat them. Use Plant Food on Jack O' Lantern to damage zombies.

Spore-shroom is given as the only main attacking plant here, so you should plant as much as you can to easily win the level. However, Troglobite and Excavator Zombie can easily make spawn Spore-Shroom crushed or dug out of the lawn, so you have to defeat these zombies fast. Endurian is a good staller, keep in mind that Zombie Parrot summoned from Pirate Captain Zombie can easily steal plants, so if you have plenty of plants, they can easily destroy Zombie Parrot. Jack O'Lantern should be planted behind Endurian since it can easily attack lots of zombies when they are being grouped up and being stalled, keep in mind that Imp Dragon Zombie is immune to Jack O' Lantern so you have to use other attacking plants. Deep Sea Gargantuars can easily crush Endurian, so try defeating him fast with Jack O'Lantern. Use Plant Food on Spore-shroom to easily destroy and replace zombies with Spore-shrooms.

Use the pre-planted Sunflower's to earn extra Sun to plant more Sunflower before planting other plants. Jack O' Latern is not only helpful because it can easily destroy multiple zombies at once such as, Camel Zombies but it also can protect plants from the freezing wind so that they don't freeze, they also block Hunter Zombie snowballs from freezing plants. Jack O' Lantern is also a very important plant because Peashooter is the only other attacking plant, Jester Zombie and Excavator Zombie can block or deflect his projectiles which can be a issue, luckily Jack O' Lantern can easily destroy them, you can also use Stunion to stall them. Which should also be used on Wizard Zombie before he transform plants into sheep, Wall-nut can also be helpful in stalling zombie but keep in mind Excavator Zombie and Troglobite can easily crush Wall-nut without eating them, making them useless. Disco-tron 3000 can summoned Disco-Jetpack Zombies which can easily overwhelm plants, Jack O' Lantern alone will take a while to destroy him and Stunion can't stall him because he is a Mechanical zombies, so use Wall-nut to stall him. Use Plant Food on Jack O' Lantern to damage groups of zombies or Sunflower to gain a good amount of sun.

This level is very-quick paced, so stalling zombies will be very helpful. Use Stallia to stall zombies such as, Bug Zombies and his variants and Zombie Bull since they can easily charge through your lawn, they can also be used against Surfer Zombie to drop his Surfboard. Puff-shroom should be used for the first few waves so you can have time to set up your lawns, they are also helpful against Tombstones, eventually destroying them. Jack O' Lantern should be used as the main damaging plant, try your best to recharge it and don't waste flames on weak zombies such as: Mummy Zombies or Conehead Zombies as they can easily be defeat by Puff-shrooms. Barrel Roller Zombie and Pianist Zombie can easily crush plants, so you have to destroy them fast with Jack O' Lantern, Explorer Zombie can easily burn plants, so stall him then defeat him with Jack O' Lantern. Mostly all the zombies should be defeated by Jack O' Lantern, however Mecha-Football Zombie has high health, so you have to constantly damage him, use any additional Plant Food on Jack O' Lantern to easily destroy him, Plant Food should also be used on Puff-shroom to regain their spawn time rate.
