Pirate Seas (PvZ:WOR)

Pirate Seas is the fourth world in Plants vs. Zombies: Wrath Of Rogue. There are 30 levels to play, 8 plants to obtain, 13 zombies to fight against, 2 upgrades to collect, and one boss to defeat.
Pirate Seas has two gimmicks, but the main one focuses on the lawn's structure. The lawn is divided into three sections. The first section consists of the first five columns closest to the lawnmowers and the Hero or variant functioning as normal, and there are no restrictions for which plants can or cannot be placed. The second section has planks on the other four columns, which are slightly lighter in color than the tiles on the left. The planks act as the zombies' entryway, and the number of planks in each level are varied. Underground plants such as Potato Mine cannot be planted on planks. The third section is the sea, which is where Swashbuckler Zombies swing towards the ship. Plants of any kind cannot be planted on the water tiles, even if the plants in question are aquatic or are considered flying plants. Zombies that land in the sea die instantly, while flying zombies can also spawn on plankless lanes.
The second gimmick is the world's surprise attack. Multiple Swashbuckler Zombies will swing in at once, but much like the sandstorms in Ancient Egypt, this surprise attack only contains low-health zombies, so this should be rather tame in comparison to the more dangerous surprise attacks that appear in worlds with higher difficulties. The player is notified when the "RAIDING PARTY!" text appears in the middle of the screen. The surprise attack only appears in levels where Swashbuckler Zombie is present, excluding the boss fight.
==Description==
It's the golden age of piracy! Be the captain (or possibly a co-captain) of two pirate ships connecting together, and take to the sea. The plundering pirates are out for thievery overseas, and do whatever you can to make the X mark the spot before they do!
==Order of events==
TBA
==Plants==
* Kernel-pult - Lobs corn kernels or butter at zombies, the latter of which stuns them in place for a few seconds. He is unlocked, after beating Day 1.
* Snapdragon - Breathes fire in a 3x2 area in front of him. He is unlocked, after beating Day 3.
* Spikeweed - Hurts zombies that step on him, and breaks one rolling object. He is unlocked, after beating Day 6.
* Spring Bean - Bounces zombies a tile one or two tiles back, before falling asleep to recharge. If a zombie gets knocked into the water or other abyssal surface, it will be insta-killed. He is unlocked, after beating Day 10.
* Dandelion - Releases dandelion seed bombs that explode on contact with a zombie, and can do this on adjacent lanes. He is unlocked, after beating Day 14.
* Coconut Cannon - Tap on him to launch an explosive coconut at zombies, with splash-damage being dealt to ones in other lanes in addition to this. After firing a coconut, he needs to reload his weapon before he can be used via the player's input again. He is unlocked, after beating Day 18.
* Tricorn - Uses copies of his signature triangular hat against zombies, by throwing them in three lanes. If another Tricorn is planted on the first one, his damage will increase. He is unlocked, after beating Day 23.
* Cherry Bomb - Blows up all zombies in a 3x3 area. They are unlocked, after beating Day 29.
==Zombies==
* Pirate Zombie - The Pirate Seas variant of Basic Zombie. He is first encountered in Day 1.
* Conehead Pirate - The Pirate Seas variant of Conehead Zombie. He is first encountered in Day 1.
* Buckethead Pirate - The Pirate Seas variant of Buckethead Zombie. He is first encountered in Day 2.
* Flag Pirate Zombie - The Pirate Seas variant of Flag Zombie. He is first encountered in Day 1.
* Seagull Zombie - Flies over plants and plankless lanes, while butter can be used to release the seagull carrying him and destroy the zombie himself. If he takes enough damage from a fire plant while on land, the ropes tying him up will be burned off, enabling him to walk and eat plants normally without any restraints, and the seagull flies away afterwards. He is first encountered in Day 2.
* Swashbuckler Zombie - Swings from a rope, then leaps onto the tile behind the sea, so he can continue moving forward. There is a chance that he will fall off of the rope and die in the water, instead of landing on the planks. He is first encountered in Day 4.
* Barrel Roller Zombie - Crushes plants with her wooden barrel, and two Imp Pirate Zombies spawn on adjacent lanes when the barrel is destroyed. She is first encountered in Day 7.
* Pirate Captain Zombie - Commands a Zombie Parrot to steal a plant on a random tile. He is first encountered in Day 14.
* Zombie Parrot - Stays in place for a few seconds after flying over to a plant, before stealing it and not bringing it back. It is first encountered in Day 14.
* Imp Cannon - Fires Imp Pirate Zombies out of the cannon, and will release a large number of imps if it's not destroyed in time. It is first encountered in Day 19.
* Pistol Zombie - Shoots bullets at plants with both of his flintlock pistols. He is first encountered in Day 20.
* Gargantuar Pirate - The Pirate Seas variant of the Gargantuar. He is first encountered in Day 8.
* Imp Pirate Zombie - The Pirate Seas variant of the Imp. He is first encountered in Day 8, although he technically debuts in Day 7.
==Difficulty==
Pirate Seas takes the difficulty rating a bit further, thus making it slightly harder than Taco Park and Ancient Egypt. The planks that appear on various lanes may be beneficial or detrimental to the player, depending on their setup. Most of the earlier levels containing Seagull Zombies and Swashbuckler Zombies are very easy, as they're not as much of a threat, compared to other zombies that would appear later on. Pistol Zombie, the Imp Cannon, and Zombie Parrot are the zombies that the player would have to watch out for the most, as they are at their most dangerous when in the same level. Barrel Roller Zombies can be a bit overwhelming, due to the barrels blocking all non-catapult attacks. Overall, Pirate Seas is the start of the increasingly-harder worlds, but it does have a few plants that attack in other lanes to make things a bit more convenient for the player's strategies. 
*Easiest level: Pirate Seas - Day 1 or Pirate Seas - Day 28

*Rewards that are not money bags are unlocked for the first time completion.
===Brain Busters===
The Brain Buster of Pirate Seas is titled Cannons Away. There are no planks on the other half of the lawn. The player is required to use five Coconut Cannons to shoot down Seagull Zombies, in order to beat the target score. When Cannons Away levels are replayed and then completed, the player will earn tons of coins, making this an easy coin farming strategy in the tower-defense campaign, as coins are not easily obtained there.
Cannons Away is playable on Day 3, Day 11, Day 18, and Day 27.
===Dead Man's Booty===
Dead Man's Booty is Pirate Seas' Endless Zone. Like all Endless Zones, the levels will get more challenging, as the player will not know how many flags they will have. The "key" that is used to access this Endless Zone is a treasure chest. It is unlocked after completing Pirate Seas - Day 20. The number and positioning of planks in any of the five lanes are randomized, but they will change for the current level, if the player clicks on the respective icons to go to the Almanac or the Zen Garden, then exits back to Dead Man's Booty.
The starting plants for Dead Man's Booty include the following:
*Sunflower
*Peashooter
*Wall-nut
*Spring Bean

==Trivia== 
*This world contains the most ways Imps can be spawned. They can appear via being launched from an Imp Cannon or the Zombot Plank Walker, being thrown by a Gargantuar Pirate, walking across the lawn from the right side of the screen, or destroying a barrel.
* The term "plundering pirates" used in the world's description is a reference to the name of Super Brainz' super-rare Strategy Deck in Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes.
*If the player tries to plant on the water tiles, they will receive the message "You can't plant there".
*Despite the fact that Plants vs. Zombies: Wrath Of Rogue is apparently rated E10+ by the ESRB, Pistol Zombie is seen firing real bullets out of firearms that are identical to ones in real-life. However, most of the Zombie Heroes use handheld weapons in the form of guns anyway, which might make the concerns for the ESRB rating hypocritical.
*Pirate Seas and Ancient Egypt (nighttime only) are the only worlds with animated backgrounds. 
**In this case, the water underneath the planks can be seen splashing.
*There is a glitch where some levels in Dead Man's Booty do not have planks at all, allowing the player to skip a level of the Endless Zone with this cheesing method, as all zombies that touch the water will immediately drown and plants would not need to be used at any point when this happens. Seagull Zombies or Imp Cannons will not appear either. It is unknown how this glitch occurs.
* The Gargantuar battle for this world takes place on Day 8, instead of Day 10, despite having 30 levels. However, this was likely done to give the player a head start on the first Gargantuar battle that does not allow them to use lawnmowers a bit earlier than usual.
*The phrase "Be the captain (or possibly a co-captain)" in the world's description is a reference to a dialogue exchange from Dipper and Mabel Pines in the Gravity Falls episode titled "The Legend of the Gobblewonker". At one point in the episode, Mabel asks Dipper if she could be a co-captain, only for him to reply with "There's no such thing as co-captain.", which is where this phrase in Pirate Seas' world description originates from.
*Despite what the page image shows, there aren't any Adventure Mode levels in Pirate Seas that only have one plank on the right half of the lawn (not counting the levels in the Endless Zone).
*In the CGI-animated cutscene that appears after the player unlocks Dead Man's Booty, Foot Soldier Zombie hilariously takes it out of context. The definition of "booty" that is most commonly used in the context of pirate-themed media refers to valuable stolen goods or buried treasure, especially those seized in war. It seems to have a double meaning here, as the word "booty" can also mean a slang term for a person's rear end. Pistol Zombie happens to be rightfully annoyed at Foot Soldier Zombie's immaturity in the cutscene, as he perceives the latter to be crazy. When Foot Soldier Zombie is corrected about the meaning of the word "booty" in the context of Dead Man's Booty, he still ignores Pistol Zombie's clarification, which annoys him to no end.
**The exact same joke is continued in a cutscene that appears after unlocking Big Bad Butte in Wild West - Day 12.
* The soundtrack for Pirate Seas has a slightly lower sound quality than its canon counterpart, but it's likely intentional to make it seem more realistic in an environment that's surrounded by an ocean (which can make a lot of ambient sounds). However, it still has a high enough volume to be heard properly, even with the filter.
