Level 1-5 is the fifth level in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition, and Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition, and is the fifth of the Day levels, being a Wall-nut Bowling level. When this level is beaten for the first time, the player obtains the Potato Mine (Squash in the online version). Also, the shovel is introduced in this level.

When replaying Adventure Mode, this level is exact same as the mini-game Wall-nut Bowling, spawning all zombies present in that version, while the first time playing it only spawn regular Zombies and their Flag and Conehead variants.

Crazy Dave: WE ARE GOING BOWLING!!
Crazy Dave: HERE, TAKE THIS WALL-NUT!
Crazy Dave: Why'd I put a Wall-nut in your hand?

Crazy Dave: NOW GO! BOWL ME A WINNER!
(Crazy Dave leaves)

Difficulty

• This level is generally easy. A regular Zombie or Flag Zombie takes one hit by Wall-nut, while a Conehead Zombie takes two. The only difficulty that may occur is if too many zombies appear on the screen at the same time. Players can eliminate this factor by using Explode-o-nuts.
  • The player still has the Lawn Mowers to defend their house, just in case this does happen.
• After the first Adventure Mode playthrough, more dangerous zombies appear like Buckethead Zombie, which takes three hits, Newspaper Zombie, which can reach the player's house quicker after one hit, and Pole Vaulting Zombie, which jumps over rolling Wall-nuts.

Strategies

• This level is a good level to earn coins. In order to do so, wait for as many zombies as possible to come on the screen without them becoming a threat to your brains. After the first zombie you kill, every other zombie the same Wall-nut hits will drop coins.
• Save Explode-o-nuts for emergencies. However, note that these nuts will not yield coins when it hits multiple zombies. This is because it does not ricochet and simply explodes upon contact with a zombie.
