Active Volcanoes

Active Volcanoes is the third world in Plants vs Zombies: The Wacky House. It takes place in a stranded island filled with lava, surrounded by active volcanoes. It has 5 new plants to be obtained and 9 new zombies to be found.
Active Volcanoes is the first world in the game to be split into three sections - Day, Evening and Night. Levels 1-5 are in the daytime, 6-10 are in the evening, and 11-15 are at night. In the evening, small sun that is worth 15 falls from the sky rather than normal sun that is worth 25. In the night, no sun falls from the sky, and mushrooms awaken.
The volcanoes seen in the background erupt from time to time, raining down lava in a 3x3 area that can incinerate your plants. can prevent the lava from burning your plants, but she absorbs the lava in the process of blocking it, losing health.

== Trivia ==
*Lucky Blover was originally called Four-Leaf Blover.
*Despite Ashy zombies being the main zombies here, and having no tie, the Zombie Statue still has a tie, and doesn't change, even if the zombie is a Ashy Imp (or firecrackers imp), Ashy Gargantuar, or even scorched zombie.
**This is probably because the developers are too tired to make a statue for every zombie body type.
*This world, along with the other seven original worlds, had their Jalapeno difficulty ratings adjusted in the Moist Caves update.
*The game's difficulty noticeably spikes up from this world onward.
*As of the level merge, Active Volcanoes now uses Missions for its levels.
*Completing this world gives the door to the player's house a burnt appearance.
