Wild West (Thymewarped)

Wild West is the 4th world in Plants vs. Zombies: Thymewarped, unlocked after beating Day 12 of Pirate Seas. The world takes place during the mid 19th century, amidst the American Frontier which was more commonly referred to as the Wild West. The lawn appears to take place just outside an old western town, with a traditional sunset in the background of an arid desert.
In this world, there are minecart rails and minecarts on your lawn in different locations and positions, depending on the level. While nothing can be placed on a minecart rail, plants can be placed into a minecart and moved along the rail at will.
During the second half of the world, a "Stampede!" can occur as a surprise attack for the world. When the ambush occurs, multiple Zombie Bulls will spawn and immediately charge down the lane instead of needing to walk in 
After beating Day 12 of Wild West, players will get access to Far Future and can choose to chase Dr. Zomboss to the future or remain in the old town with the cowboys.
==Game description==
Head down the dusty trail for a showdown with the outlaw zombies of yesteryear! Gather up your plants for the big Brain Rush of 1850!
==Order of events==
Upon beating Day 12 of Pirate Seas, players can travel to the Wild West or remain in the golden age of zombie piracy.
At the start of Day 3, Penny teaches the player how to plant a Pea Pod on the Pea Pod, and advises them that some plants work better on minecarts than others.
At the start of Day 5, Penny notices that the zombies have gathered in a corral, and Crazy Dave advises the player to plant plants in order to stop them from getting loose.
At the start of Day 10, Penny asks the player to keep the flowers alive and to not let the zombies step on them.
When the player defeats Day 11's wave, a wanted poster showing a brain is rewarded; and the zombies are offering 500 dollars for them. On Day 12, Dr. Zomboss writes a note before the huge wave attacks, informing Crazy Dave that agents are arriving to mark his brains as his property. After this exchange, the player will go on to defeat the Rodeo Gargantuar and Dave states that his brains are his.
After the Gargantuar wave is beaten, players will get the option to continue playing through Wild West levels or travel through to the furthest point possible in history to continue stopping Dr. Zomboss' plans there.
At the start of Day 16, Penny claims she is sensing bulls. Crazy Dave calls her out on her crass language, but Penny explains that she fears the zombies have taken over the local ranch and they should be expecting incoming stampedes.
At the start of Day 20, Penny reminds the player that plants like Pumpkin can be used to protect endangered plants, especially since defensive plants are better against explosive-wielding zombies.
At the start of Day 25, Dr. Zomboss suggests that the player is sharing in Crazy Dave's madness, that there is no zombie outbreak threatening the player, and that he and his zombies are normal people trying to help. After the massive Gargantuar attacked is defeated, Crazy Dave tells Dr. Zomboss that the plants and zombies ARE real and ARE fighting as mortal enemies and that spoons ARE real. Dr. Zomboss agrees, and then flees.
During the Far Future outbreak, Penny warns that she detects high amount of futuristic energy and Crazy Dave suspects they are stealing bulls for experiments. Later on, Penny believes that the zombies are trying to steal Strawburst to make use of its powerful, explosive nature.

==Trivia==
*The stampede mechanic is taken straight from Plants vs. Zombies: Reflourished's Wild West ambush of the same name.
*The Chicken Wrangler veteran, Turkey Wrangler, originates from the Fall Food Fight event as a reskin.
**Instead of just being a reskin, Turkey Wrangler is now a stronger version of the Chicken Wrangler.
*The Minecart Zombie is just using a placeholder image right now and isn't final.
*Day 7's name, Dance, Dance Revolution is a reference to the game of the same name.
*Day 14 and Day 16 both reference two movies that feature animals featured in the introductory level, Day 14's Chicken Run introduces the Chicken Wrangler Zombie while Day 16's Home on the Range introduces the Zombie Bull.
*Day 25's level name, The Quick and the Undead, is a reference to the movie The Quick and the Dead.
*Unlike in Plants vs. Zombies 2, Thymewarped's Wild West actually gives a shit about including the Zombie Bull in more than three levels.
