Fun Guy

<tabber>
Common=
Fun Guy is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. It is unlocked after completing The High Sky-7: Winged Gargantuar!. It attacks every 24 seconds, attacking through loud cheers. His attack power gets progressively stronger over time, getting raised by 10 damage each time, before capping at 120 . While Fun Guy attacks, he also boosts plants within a 2x3 area of him (a 3x3 area excluding the three tiles in front of Fun Guy). His boost ability consists of adding 100 health to the surrounding plants. This ability can raise the affected plant's health past its typical maximum health, extending it until it caps at 1200 past its normal health. Fun Guy cannot raise its own health. Fun Guy will perform his ability when planted.
Fun Guy immediately reacts to Loudmouth Imp's sound waves, activating its attack and boosting ability whenever Loudmouth Imp attacks, completely ignoring Fun Guy's 24-second cooldown. Fun Guy and Loudmouth Imp's sound waves collide with each other, cancelling each other's attacks out in the process.
== Origins ==
His name is a pun on "fungi" and "fun guy", referring to his party and happy-go-lucky aesthetic.

== Rare variant ==
Rare Fun Guy boosts nearby plants' attack power instead of their health. He adds five to the affected plant's regular damage. The ability caps at 40 damage more than the original value.
Its design is changed to seem more dangerous, having a spiked cap and having two small spikes beside itself instead of two small mushrooms.
== Strategy ==
Fun Guy is a very weak plant initially, only dealing a quarter of a pea's damage, however it can eventually turn itself around and prove to become very powerful plant. The plant thrives in slower-paced levels, where it can bring out its health-boosting power and rather high damage to its full potential.
One strategy is to place Fun Guy right at the back of the lawn, to give the player more thinking time if a zombie manages to break through the player's defense. The plants' elevated health stalls for more time.
The player should almost always bring a Fun Guy in levels with a Loudmouth Imp, to prevent the shattering of s. Not only that, but the Fun Guy's ability activates considerably faster when countering a Loudmouth Imp. Refrain from immediately killing the Loudmouth Imp, to allow the Fun Guy to perform its ability as many times as possible.

== Trivia ==
*Fun Guy grows another small mushroom near itself when it performs its ability. This stops once six small mushrooms surround Fun Guy.
*Fun Guy is the only mushroom in the game to stay awake during the day.
**As referenced in its almanac entry, this is because it likes to stay awake during the nighttime.
