Mini Peashooter

Mini Peashooter is a plant obtainable in Plants vs. Zombies 2. The plant was originally supposed to release along with the other Peashooter plants (Snap Pea, Goo Peashooter, Sling Pea, and Shadow Peashooter), but was delayed due to complications. It can be obtained via Battlez or earning its seed packets through Thymed Events, Penny's Pursuit, or the shop.
Mini Peashooter's gimmick is to be a very weak, yet very spammable plant. It has the fastest recharge time among any other plant at base stats—being only two seconds long—but it also has the weakest projectile among any other plant—dealing only about one third of a Peashooter's projectile. It is also a very fragile plant with only a twelfth of a typical plant's health and will disappear almost instantly if damaged.
In its plant food ability, it will double the amount of Mini Peashooters on the lawn. It will also cause all Mini Peashooters to shoot thirty peas. Despite how good this sounds, a full lane of Mini Peashooters doing this attack isn't enough to vanquish so much as two Buckethead Zombies.

==Strategies==
Mini Peashooter is useful if you want to do a number to zombies early on. Because of its extraordinarily quick recharge time, you can place a lot of them down during the start of the level. However, this strategy shouldn't be the one to carry you through the level reliably, because Mini Peashooters can only attack one zombie at a time, so if a lot of zombies are in one lane, it simply can't hold its own. Replacing it quickly won't do you any good either, due to its extremely low health. Overall, Mini Peashooter is better for speeding up the early game process or minorly aiding the mid-game than to be used as a main-course attacker.
Mini Peashooter is also very good for the early game on levels that limit how much sun you can spend or that prevent you from spending any sun for X amount of time. You can use it as an alternative to using Potato Mines or other more expensive early game plants. And if you wanted to, you could also use it to aid your main attackers a little bit. Having three Mini Peashooters in one lane does nearly the same amount of damage as one regular Peashooter (just barely over that amount).

==Trivia==
*Mini Peashooter was released around Christmas time, hence the Christmas-themed costume.
*Earlier versions of Mini Peashooter found in the files suggested he would have dealt 10 damage per bullet and would have shot 60 peas from its plant food effect, but it had a five-second recharge time and costed 25 sun.
