User blog:Flipsanity/Zcorp Incorporated, Inc.
ZCorp Incorporated, Inc. is a fanmade world by Flipsane reusing the ZCorp Zombies and Zombie Hamsterball, with the return of Flower Pot from the first game. It is the 10th world (9th world chronologically) and would be inbetween Jurassic Marsh and Big Wave Beach in difficulty, and inbetween Neon Mixtape Tour and Jurassic Marsh chronologically. Blastberry Vine and Solar Sage are the premium plants released alongside this world for Part 1 and Part 2 respectively
ZCorp Incorporated, Inc. takes place in the early 2000s, around 2000-2003
The main stage element of this world is the roof, which requires Flower Pots for your plants to be planted there, and the need for pulting plants to hit the zombies over the roof angle. There are also vents on the board, which act like Lost Guide Zombie's secret passages, allowing zombies to quickly advance through the lawn. Every ZCorp Zombie is able to enter these vents except for zombies in Zombie Hamsterballs, and Head Office Impgantuars. "Sudden Lawsuit!" is the surprise attack for this world, which summons zombies in random lanes to the right, similar to Necromancy in Dark Ages. However, dangerous zombies can also be summoned, such as ZCorp Consultants, and even Head Office Impgantuars. "HAMSTER BRAWL!" is also present in this world, which summons the Zombie Hamsterballs.
Game description
Greetings! Welcome to ZCorporation Incorporated, Incorporation. Here we strive the best possible work experience for our employees. ZCorp is not responsible for any eaten brains during your time here.
Order of events
If the player already obtained the world's Key in Jurassic Marsh - Day 32, they can gain access to ZCorp, Incorporated Inc.
After beating Day 15, the player obtains a Business Letter with a 'trade offer' from the zombies wanting their brain for an "uncountable load of money". After defeating the horde of Head Office Impgantuars on Day 16, the player gets a Mystery Gift Box.
On Day 32, Dr. Zomboss states that ZCorp's stock and business rates are booming, and that soon they will rise to the top of the stock market, but also states that ZCorp might "not be what it is cracked up to be". After defeating the Zombot ZCorp Managitron, Penny says that Dr. Zomboss is true about ZCorp "not being what it is cracked up to be", and revealed that ZCorp Incorporated, Inc. was shut down in late 2008 due to bankruptcy. This is presumably what lead to the events of Plants vs. Zombies.
Levels
Difficulty
As a five-Jalapeno world, ZCorp Incorporated, Inc. is generally considered a very difficult world to complete. The main source of difficulty is the need for Flower Pots, making it harder to place plants. The zombies are especially difficult to defeat when combined with this limitation. Additionally, the zombies introduced in this world are well-equipped to destroy the player's defences, as well as move the zombies forward: the Zombie Hamsterball protects a zombie as well as giving it a speed boost, the ZCorp HelpDesk and ZCorp Chair Racer can destroy your defenses with an exploding laptop and a chair respectively, along with ZCorp Consultant able to divert the zombies to potentially move them to lanes with less defense. ZCorp Executive is especially tough to deal with due to the fact that he promotes ZCorp New Hires and ZCorp Contractors into all 3 previous zombies mentioned.

Brain Busters
- Main article: Brain Busters
Column Like You See Em'
Column Like You See Em' is a Brain Buster exclusive to ZCorp Incorporated, Inc., featured in Day 10, day 20, and Day 30. Planting a seed packet on a slot will fill the whole respective column with that plant, multiplying it by five. If one or more spaces (not exceeding five) on any of the Flower Pots in the column are occupied by other plants or unoccupied by Flower Pots, no plant will appear in place of the plant and the plant you planted will either be one, two, three, or four and will either appear on the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth lane in that column. However, in Flower Pot's case, if some of the lanes in the column are not potted, no plant will appear in the non-potted lane.
Special Delivery
- Main article: Special Delivery
Special Delivery is another Brain Buster in this world, featured in Days 3, 5, 10, 16, 18, 21, and 26. These are essentially conveyor-belt levels, where the player defends against waves of zombies with plants the conveyor belt gives them.
Locked and Loaded
- Main article: Locked and Loaded
Day 14 and Day 31, the two Locked and Loaded levels of this world, require the player to defeat waves of zombies using a fixed selection of plants. These levels serve as demos to 2 premium plants; namely, the Chomper (Day 14) and Homing Thistle (Day 31). The name of Locked and Loaded references a real-life phrase, where once a weapon (usually a gun) is armed, it should not be disarmed any more.
Last Stand
- Main article: Last Stand (PvZ2)
Day 12 and Day 29 are Last Stand levels. In this Brain Buster, the player must defeat waves of zombies using a limited amount of sun and Plant Food, granted at the very start. The player has no means of gaining sun or Plant Food during the level - sun-producing plants cannot be chosen, no sun falls from the sky, and no glowing zombies appear. The zombie waves in Last Wave levels tend to be especially unforgiving, requiring the player to get creative with their defence plans.
Save Our Seeds
- Main article: Save Our Seeds
In this Brain Buster, featured in Days 15, 23, and 30, the player must survive waves of zombies, while also protecting endangered Potato Mines, Banana Launchers and Guacodiles from being eaten or destroyed. Otherwise, they will fail the level.
24/7 Desk Job
24/7 Desk Job is the Endless Zone of ZCorp Incorporated, Inc., unlocked after beating Day 20. The player starts with Sunflower and Wall-nut, just like other Endless Zones, but instead of having Peashooter, you would have Cabbage-pul t (PvZ2), along with Flower Pot as an exclusive plant. The vent layout will change on every level. All zombies are encountered in ZCorp Incorporated, Inc., except the ZCorp Zombot Desk Job, appear in this Endless Zone.
Zombot ZCorp Managitron
The Zombot ZCorp Managitron is the final boss of ZCorp Incorporated, Inc., appearing in Day 32. The boss has three attacks: zombie summoning, missiles, zombie teleporting, and using a laser to destroy all plants and zombies on a single lane, leaving scorched tiles. Unlike other Zombots, E.M. Peach will stun this Zombot.
ZCorp Flag Zombie and ZCorp Executive are the only ZCorp zombies which does not appear in this battle.
Trivia
- Notr that the Zombie King and Z-Mech are placeholders for the ZCorp Executive and Zombot ZCorp Managitron
