Roof

Roof
The fifth area in Plants vs. Zombies
19 levels - Unlocked by beating Level 4-10

The Roof, also known as Roof Battle in Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition, is the fifth area of Adventure Mode and takes place on top of the player's house.

It consists of a 5x5 sloped side at the back and a 4x5 straight side in front, with a satellite dish on the zombie side and a chimney on the player's side, where the zombies enter to get inside the player's house.

Environment modifiers

Repeater cannot shoot peas over the angle (the pea has been blocked)

Straight shooting plants (Peashooters, Starfruits, etc.) will not be able to hit zombies if planted on the sloping side (although they can fire over the edge when planted on the first sloped column next to the straight columns), so the player will need to use lobbed-shot plants for this stage (the player can use Fume-shrooms too, but the need of waking them up using Coffee Bean and their short-range may prevent the player from using them much).

Plants also need Flower Pots to place plants on the roof due to the fact that the roof is not made of soil thus making the roof's surface unplantable (same goes for its night counterpart). Because it takes place during the day, sun falls from the sky during this stage, and mushrooms fall asleep.

There are no Lawn Mowers, so until Roof Cleaners are purchased from Crazy Dave, the player's last line of defense is their leftmost plants.

Column Like You See 'Em - a mini-game that takes place on the roof.

This area also has "ambush zombies", which are actually Zombies (or Conehead Zombies and Buckethead Zombies) that are dropped by Bungee Zombies onto the roof, possibly into the player's defenses, although they can be repulsed by Umbrella Leaves. This is similar to the zombies that surface from the Pool and the zombies that come out of graves. Overall, this is the hardest area of the game to overcome.

Trivia

• On the Xbox Live Arcade version, the player can see a large telephone pole in front of the roof. It does not appear in Night Roof due to the visibility of Dr. Zomboss.
• Crazy Dave and Cabbage-pult do not know how the zombies got on the roof in the first place, but at the beginning of roof levels, the player can see a ladder at the right that may have helped them.
  • Some versions of Plants vs. Zombies do not have a ladder.
• When the level is being represented, the words on the screen will say "[The player's name]'s Roof!" with an exclamation point at the end.
• Fume-shrooms and Gloom-shrooms are the only non-lobbed-shot plants that can shoot up the slope of the roof.
• In the Xbox 360 trailer, it is said that the roof has Spanish tiles.
• It appears that the roof has flowers and weeds right after the slant. These flowers and such are not sentient unlike other plants in the series.
• On the Android and iPad versions of the game, there is a hole on the side of the chimney that the zombies walk through, instead of dropping down it.
• In newer iPad versions, the clouds in the background are shaped like brains.
  • The same clouds appear in Stop Zombie Mouth!, where an Imp flies with a tube of toothpaste.
• This area is the only area to not have its Bonus level as a mini-game or a Puzzle.
  • It was supposed to however, with the minigame that corresponded to it, Bungee Blitz, being present in the Limbo Page.
• Digger Zombie and Dancing Zombie do not appear on this area is there is no soil. However, they did appear in Co-op Roof.
• Just like with Fog, the mobile version does not skip the intro when the music loops like other versions do.
