Wild River

Wild River is the fourth area in Plants vs. Zombies: World Traveler. It takes place in the forest and located at the river. This area first introduces various aquatic plants and zombies. Also, enemies from previous worlds were following us here.
The main stage element of the world is water, and it functions similar to its previous incarnations. It takes two lanes similar to Pool from the first game and requires to plant a Lily Pad first. However, for most aquatic plants, it's not allowed. It also introduces "Drowned Emerge!" ambush later on, where Ducky Tube Zombie and its variants rising from the water covered in seaweeds. It only happens during the final wave however, similar to the first game's Pool ambush.
The world introduces day-night cycle for the first time. The background will change after several levels, from daytime, to dusk, to nighttime, to sunrise, and then changed back to daytime again. The day and night segment functions the same as it was in previous locations, but dusk and sunrise is somewhat function different. In these two segments, the speed rate of falling sun is halved by 25%. Note that during dusk and sunrise, mushrooms are awake, but with slower attack speed.
There are 10 new plants, 10 new zombies to encounter, and 36 new levels to discover (25 normal, 5 levels for Path A, 5 more levels for Path B, and 1 secret level need to be unlocked).

==Brain Busters==
===Special Delivery===
Special Delivery is a conveyor-belt level for Wild River. During this level, the player is forced to used all the plants that are in the conveyor-belt to pass the level. Due to this case, no sun-producing plants are present and no sun falling from the sky. Only playable in Level 4-5: Watery Graves and 4-2A: Leap of Faith.
===Locked and Loaded===
Locked and Loaded restricts the player to plants that are given within the level. They are only required to use the plants given to them in order to win the level. Even if certain plants given in the level have yet to be unlocked, the player still has the ability to use that plant within the level itself. This can serve as a demo for that plant if that ever manages to happen. Only playable in Level 4-10: Dusk and Loaded.
===Last Stand===
Last Stand makes a return from two-previous games. Just like its previous incarnation, the player has to plan their defense to stop hordes of zombies from barreling towards the house. However, unlike in Plants vs. Zombies, the player has to survive certain number of flags only with extreme numbers of Zombies storming the player's lawn, which makes it similar to the second game's counterpart. The player is provided with a great amount of sun and Plant Food as there are no zombies that will carry a Plant Food in order to aid the player from winning. Sun producing plants are not allowed in this brain buster. If the player is creative enough to formulate his or her own strategy, the player can win without the aid of Plant Food. Only playable in Level 4-19: Here Comes The Sun.
===Save Our Seeds===
In this Brain Buster, the player is forced to survive waves of zombies while protecting three endangered Snapdragons before one of them being consumed. Otherwise, they will fail the level. Only playable in Level 4-2B: Forest Expedition.
=== Dark Stormy Night ===
In this Brain Buster, the screen is pitched into black and it's occurring weather is rain. Thunder will occur on occasion, giving the player a brief moment to see what's happening. Only playable in S5: Blackout.
==Endless Zone==
Wild River's endless zone is called Lurking Lake, unlockable by beating Level 4-17: Morning Coffee. Starting plants are:
*Sunflower
*Peashooter
*Wall-nut
*Lily Pad
Unlike previous Endless Zones, no new zombies appeared here. It's noted that most mechanics from previous worlds were mostly appearing here.
