(Crazy Dave and Penny leave)
Difficulty
- The presence of Pianist Zombies and Poncho Zombies can be troublesome for the player, especially if the player doesn't bring a lot of firepower. In addition, Pianist Zombie will move most of the zombies in this level, so area of effect plants should be implemented. Take advantage of the minecarts in the back, namely for a powerful plant like Coconut Cannon.
Waves
- The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost lane.
- never carries the metal grate
+ always carries the metal grate
Strategies
Strategy 1
- Required plants:
- Plant three Coconut Cannons in the minecarts. Plant Potato Mines, Chili Beans, or Wall-nuts in front of the carts to allow the Coconut Cannons time to recharge.
- If the zombies are already in the fourth column and the Coconut Cannons are still recovering, use a Cherry Bomb or a Plant Food on one of the Coconut Cannons.
- Try to aim the Coconut Cannons at high health zombies, like Poncho Zombie (with grate) or Pianist Zombie, and let the splash damage kill the weaker ones (Cowboy, Conehead Cowboy).
Strategy 2
- Required plants:
- Do not plant any of these plants on minecart columns.
- Plant three Snapdragons on any middle column first.
- Plant a full column of Wall-nuts behind them.
- Plant a full column of Spikerocks behind Wall-nuts.
- Give Plant Food to Wall-nuts with no Snapdragons behind them. (Optional)
- If a Wall-nut dies, you will have one chance to replace one.
- If a Wall-nut is near death and you have had to go through the last step, use Plant Food to protect that Wall-nut.
- The advanced damage should kill most of the zombies, Spikerocks also give additional defense from Pianist Zombies.
- The round will end quickly, so your defense will not damage as much.
