Plants vs. Zombies: Original Edition
translation for it, please contact a wiki administrator to change it.
Plants vs. Zombies: Original Edition (植物大战僵尸原版, pinyin: Zhíwù dàzhàn jiāngshī yuánbǎn) is a Chinese-exclusive version of Plants vs. Zombies based on Plants vs. Zombies FREE, repurposed from Plants vs. Zombies 2: Evolve. It is developed to be a mini program on platforms such as WeChat due to the lack of official downloadable version of Plants vs. Zombies in mainland China.
Gameplay
Note: PopCap has devoted enormous effort over the years to bring additional game modes that were once only available on the PC into the iOS and Android platforms. This page will only show the design differences that affect how players would gain access to each game mode, but will not dig into the details of the game modes.
Adventure Mode
- Main article: Adventure Mode
The Adventure Mode differs from the old versions in that it features a level selector, allowing players to select any previously unlocked levels and replay those levels. Noticeable design features of the level selector include:
- The level selector consists of five tabs representing the areas: Day, Night, Pool, Fog, and Roof.
- Each level consists of a thumbnail representing the level, and an icon representing the plants or items obtained from that level.
- The first, third, sixth, and eighth levels will show the new zombie encountered on the thumbnail. (The only exception is Level 1-1 which shows a Flag Zombie, which was first encountered in Level 1-2)
- The second, fourth, seventh, and ninth levels will show the regular Zombie on the thumbnail.
- Plants obtained after each level are shown under the level thumbnails.
- Items and Notes are represented by a smiley Sunflower icon.
- Clicking on a locked level or trying to start a new level with 2 saved progresses will emit a sound identical to the sound when Jack-in-the-Box Zombie opens its box.
- Players at one area can preview the levels in the next area at furthest. For example, if a player is currently on a Day level, then he/she can preview the Night area levels, but not further areas.
- The Suburban Almanac can be accessed from the level selector.
Other game modes unlocked during the game:
- Puzzle Mode: during Level 1-4.
- Zen Garden: after finishing Level 5-4.
More Ways to Play
The More Ways to Play UI provides access to Mini-games, Puzzle Mode and Survival Mode.
Mini-games

Puzzle Mode
- Main article: Puzzle Mode
Puzzle Mode was first unlocked during Level 1-4. It consists of five sub-modes: Vasebreaker, I, Zombie and Last Stand.
More levels are unlocked as the player advance in Adventure Mode.
Each Endless level has its own online leaderboards ranking.
Survival Mode
- Main article: Survival Mode
Survival Mode was unlocked once the player finishes Adventure Mode for the first time.
The levels are unlocked sequentially, the same as in the PC version. However, there is only one level (Survival: Day) unlocked by default, as opposed to three levels on PC.
The Survival Mode includes Survival: Day, Survival: Night, Survival: Pool, Survival: Fog, Survival: Roof, Survival: Day (Endless), Survival: Night (Endless), Survival: Pool (Endless), Survival: Fog (Endless) and Survival: Roof (Endless). The hard levels are not included.

Zen Garden
- Main article: Zen Garden (PvZ)
The Zen Garden allows you to take care of plants in a stress-free environment and make money. It is a subset of the Zen Garden in the PC version (with Tree of Wisdom absent). Some common features unique to the iOS and Android versions are:
- Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies has four presents purchasable. Each present is available once per 24 hours, and can add a new plant to the garden.
- Stinky the Snail collects money when the player is away from the garden.
- Wheel Barrow can be purchased once Adventure Mode is finished once, even before the player purchases Mushroom Garden or Aquarium Garden.
