Whenever he is eaten whole, he will spin rapidly and throw 5 spikes to every zombie in the lawn.

Starfruit stands out from other projectile-based plants for specializing in attacking lanes other than the lane he is planted on. His strength lies in his relatively high firepower potential for his cost, as well as the ability to neutralize enemies attempting to attack plants from the back, such as and zombies lifted from .
Since he is able to attack in every possible direction just as , and but with an extended range, he can be very useful with big groups of zombies. His ability to throw spikes when defeated can be really useful when there are a lot of zombies in the lawn lowering their health, Plantfood could also be useful, but it targets a few zombies and randomly, so it could be tricky to use.
Using agains in Wild West and the zombies he makes dance can be a useful trick! Since Galacta-Cactus is able to attack those zombies wherever they move since the thorns can pass through various enemies. This may also work with zombies that summon other zombies like or .
 With Galacta-Cactus second and third level upgrade, the player can take over strong Zombies like Gargantuar with the spikes thornado, since it deals a big quantity of damage, even if it doesn’t destroys it, it’s health will be reduced drastically, enough to take it down with other attacking plants like Peashooter.
