Difficulty
This level is just overall really easy. All you encounter is Basic and Conehead Zombies, just know that straight-shooting plants cannot shoot through the Saisen Box.
Dialogue
(Crazy Dave and Penny appear)
Penny: Welcome to a new time travel journey! This is the 10th century, Japan in the Heian Age.
Penny: The sensors show that we are in a sheine nearby Mount Fuji.
Crazy Dave: Their hairstyle looks kinda like tacos, maybe there's really tacos in them!
Penny: According to my scanning, there's no tacos in their hair, and those are wigs.
Crazy Dave: Look! What's that box? Is it a lunchbox with tacos in it?
Penny: That's a Saisen Box. Using different Saisen Boxes strategically can help you on fending off the zombies.
Penny: Of course, you'll have to give it some coins. I mean Plant Food.
Penny: Sun Saisen Boxes can return some sun used on the plants nearby.

Strategies
Cold Blooded
- Created by DartMonkey2SmashBros
- Required Plants
- Place Cold Snapdragons in any single column (other than the last two) and the Zombies will not be able to make it past. Don't even worry about the Saisen Box, the Cold Snapdragons can finish off the Zombies themselves.
