Minecart Zombie (DinoSMG22)

Minecart Zombie is a Zombie in Plants vs. Zombies 2, encountered in Wild West expansion levels, Modern Day levels, Arena, and Penny's Pursuit. He appears on the lawn riding in an iron minecart. The minecart will crush plants in its lane, stopping only when it reaches the fifth column, then the zombie in it will be released.
The zombie released has no special abilities or attributes and behaves like a Basic Zombie, but has some extra health.
==Almanac entry==
==Overview==
The minecart and zombie absorb 1270 DPS combined. Minecart Zombie's minecart absorbs 1000 DPS. The minecart enters its first degrade at 250 DPS, its second degrade at 600 DPS, and finally breaks at 1000 DPS. The zombie released absorbs 270 DPS. Its arm falls off at 135 DPS, and its head pops off at 270 DPS, killing it.
==Strategies==
Minecart Zombie is fast, dangerous, and can destroy any plant it runs over. However, destroying a plant slows it down a bit. A strategy that can be used against Minecart Zombie is planting down cheap, low-cost or fast recharge plants in front of it, slowing it down and impeding its progress. If it runs over enough of these plants, the minecart will be destroyed, leaving behind a zombie with no abilities.
Minecart Zombie also slows and stops automatically at the fifth column. A second strategy that can be used is just not building your strategy past the fifth column. The minecart will break down automatically there, but be wary of the zombie it leaves behind, as it will be close to your defenses.
Magnet-shroom is a great counter to this zombie. If a minecart enters its range, Magnet-shroom will slow it down until it stops, leaving behind the zombie. Be sure that you have enough Magnet-shrooms to deal with multiple Minecart Zombies.
==Trivia==
*If Plant Food is used on a Magnet-shroom while a Minecart Zombie is on the field, the minecart will be picked up with the zombie in it and thrown, as if it were a bucket. This kills the Minecart Zombie, and does 600 DPS to the zombie it makes contact with.
