## **WW-V: Not O.K. Corral**

**WW-V**, also known as **Not O.K. Corral**, is the fifth level of Wild West in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Not OK Corral minigame. After completing this level, the player receives Lightning Reed.

## Tips

* Not OK Corral, the minigame of Wild West, requires you to plant plants one at a time every wave to defeat the zombie horde. You must defeat all zombies in a wave in order to continue. The zombies will not proceed unless you plant a plant given at the start of a wave, so you can use that time to plan your defense.
* Prospector Zombies may be an issue here, but you have Split Peas and Snow Peas to counter them. However, Poncho Zombies will try and prevent the latter from succeeding, so move your plants accordingly.

## Waves

*The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.*

When Worlds Flourish - Level 4

**When Worlds Flourish - Level 4** is the fourth level of the When Worlds Flourish event in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Goth Punk Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Roots of Universe 215 are sinking into ours.

Penny: Now, abilities of our zombies are merging with the new ones.

Penny: In this case, Crossover Hit is now able to transform zombies into "Goth Punk Zombies".

Penny: They are rather hasty and love anything that's depressing.

Crazy Dave: Hey, I don't remember them from my childhood at all!

Penny: You wouldn't want to remember depression from your childhood, would you?

Crazy Dave: Alright then, here's your wall-nut, here's your...

Crazy Dave: ...where are the others???

Crazy Dave: Penny! Have you seen our plants?

Penny: Oh, right. Seems like today's challenge is to survive without attackers.

Crazy Dave: Well, consider us lucky! Because I was just planting those a minute ago!

Crazy Dave: We dodged a bullet there, but that doesn't mean we're in a good shape.

Penny: See those Escape Roots? I think you already know what to do.

When Worlds Flourish - Level 8

**When Worlds Flourish - Level 8** is the eighth level of the When Worlds Flourish event in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Gentleman Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: Penny, I've been thinking about it...

Crazy Dave: Why do we even need Cattail? We already have Homing Thistle!

Penny: They both have their upsides and downsides, user Dave.

Penny: Cattail is significantly cheaper, at the cost of lower damage and attack range.

Penny: In that case we can pair it up with Homing Thistle to deliver heavier blows!

Penny: We can try doing that today, actually. Let me activate our conveyor.

Crazy Dave: Hey, I didn't think of it that way!

Crazy Dave: I bet Cattail will make quick work of those top hats and monocles too.

Crazy Dave: And the zombies wearing them.

Summer Splashdown

*An empty Summer Splashdown lawn.*

**Summer Splashdown** is the fourth event quest in *Alternate UniverZ*, added in version 1.3 along with Lost City and unlocked after LC-X. It is based off vanilla's Summer Nights event and has 8 levels. The reward for completing the quest is Toadstool.

Just like Dark Ages, the Epic Quest takes place at nighttime and has tombstones, but without any sun or Plant Food tombstones. Summer Splashdown also has Fireworks, grid items that deal damage to both plants and zombies in a 3x3 area but can only be destroyed by zombies.

## Trivia

* During July and August, there were multiple voting events in the *Alternate UniverZ* Discord server to decide which special zombie out of 16 would have a custom Summer Nights variant. The zombies were voted by elimination. This included Lost City Zombies, despite the world not being in the game at the time. These zombies are:
	+ Ra Zombie vs Seagull Zombie
	+ Zombie Bull vs Disco-tron 3000
	+ Chicken Wrangler Zombie vs Turquoise Skull Zombie
	+ Shield Zombie vs Pirate Captain Zombie
	+ Barrel Roller Zombie vs Prospector Zombie
	+ Imp Cannon vs Excavator Zombie
	+ Explorer Zombie vs Pharaoh Zombie
	+ Reanimator Zombie vs Robo-Cone Zombie
WW-VII

## **WW-VII: Dynamic Dynamite**

**WW-VII**, also known as **Dynamic Dynamite**, is the seventh level of Wild West in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Short Fuse ambush. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: The zombies have found a new substance for their dynamites.

Penny: Their dynamites now explode almost immediately.

Crazy Dave: That's smart of them!

Penny: However, it makes the prospectors deal less damage.

Penny: Not to mention that it's very expensive, so they can only afford a few.

Crazy Dave: That's not-so-smart of them!

Crazy Dave: Hey, don't tell them that they can just trim off the fuse!

## Tips

* The Short Fuse ambush sends Short-fused Prospectors propelling to the back of your lawn instantly, who then eat your plants from the back. Don't rely on Snow Peas or Iceberg Lettuces as it will be almost impossible to extinguish their dynamites before they launch. Fortunately, they eat half as fast compared to normal Prospector Zombies and have the same health, so Split Peas should have an easy time dealing against them.
* The level itself also contains various threats like Poncho Zombies and Chicken Wrangler Zombies. The newly obtained Melon-pult, with his heavy damaging melons with decent splash damage, should be a great attacker against them, though try and avoid planting them on the first column due to Short-fused Prospectors appearing pretty frequently later on.

Starting the game

**After the release of her first major Youtuber video "Zombies On Your Lawn," Sunflower's Youtuber channel has been bursting with fun. She is currently putting the final touches on her reality show TV pitch "Sunflower Thinks She Can Dance."**

**Sunflower** is one of your first plants in *Alternate UniverZ*. She is a sun-producing plant capable of generating sun over time, allowing the player to plant more plants with ease.

Sunflower is one of the four plants the player is able to use in their seed arsenal at first, obtained before starting the first level like the other three beginner plants.

## Almanac entry

**Sunflower**

SUN COST: 50

RECHARGE: 7.5

SUN PRODUCTION: Normal

TOUGHNESS: 300

Sunflowers are essential for you to produce extra sun. Try planting as many as you can!

After the release of her first major Youtuber video "Zombies On Your Lawn," Sunflower's Youtuber channel has been bursting with fun. She is currently putting the final touches on her reality show TV pitch "Sunflower Thinks She Can Dance."

## Plant Food effect

When given Plant Food, Sunflower produces a burst of 150 sun instantly.

## Costumes

* Current
* Skins
* Pre 1.5

## Strategies

Sunflower is a very important sun-producing plant at the very beginning. It is recommended to plant as much as possible to get much sun, even to the point of spamming them all over the lawn. However, Sunflower faces great competition for the role of primary sun-production plant: Twin Sunflower has been made significantly easier to use, due to the general ease of obtaining sun, as well as having a slightly cheaper sun price compared to before, while Sun-shroom costs less than Sunflower and can grow over time whilst producing sun faster, outstripping Sunflower's production capability. Of the three sun-producing plants, Sunflower also generates one of the least amount of sun when fed with Plant Food. Because of this, Sunflower faces heavy competition compared to the other four sun creating plants, especially in the Endless Zones. However, they are still useful, and some players may not have Twin Sunflower.

Sunflower also works well with Sweet Potato or Void Orchid as they can move zombies away from Sunflower, allowing you to place more Sunflowers.

## **WWX-V: Rotten Railway**

**WWX-V**, also known as **Rotten Railway**, is the fifth extra level of Wild West in *Alternate UniverZ*. It is the second Not OK Corral minigame. After completing this level, the player unlocks Big Bad Butte.

## Dialogue

(After the player receives the detonator)

Crazy Dave: I've heard that people used to listen to music from boomboxes, I guess this is it!

Penny: If you want to pull the lever, do it, and get REALLY far away.

Crazy Dave: Oh, it's THAT loud, we should use this more often!

Penny: Sadly we can't, it's a one-time use.

## Tips

* With your first attacking plant given being Split Pea, try placing it in a minecart closer to the right, so that you can utilize its back head and deal more damage alongside with shooting down Prospector Zombies easily. This will leave it more vulnerable though, so try and protect it at all costs.
* Barrel Roller Zombies will roll in immediately, giving you no time to prepare. Do not place the plant given in that wave, so that you can focus on dealing with solely the Barrel Roller Zombies and their pesky Imp Pirate Zombies.
* Reserve plants like Potato Mine and Spikeweed for later threats, such as the bothersome Pianist Zombies that cause Cowboy Zombies to switch lanes and muddle up your defenses.

## **TS-III: Blown Away**

**TS-III**, also known as **Blown Away**, is the third level of the The Springscapade quest in *Alternate UniverZ*. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Dandelion is here to blast away massive zombie hordes!

Penny: With its powerful-splashing seeds, grouped zombies will be defeated in no time!

Penny: Hmm, user Dave? He's trying to find his "pesticide" in my trunk.

Penny: Even though I've told him multiple times that he never had such things.

(After the player picks up the money bag)

Crazy Dave: Alright, I give up, I can't find the thing.

Crazy Dave: Wait, isn't that Dandelion? That's cool!

Crazy Dave: When did you get that?

Penny: Yesterday, when you were looking for your thing, user Dave.

Crazy Dave: Ah, alright then, anyways.

Crazy Dave: Have you ever tried blowing into Dandelions? It's beautiful!

Penny: Personally I haven't, also unable to.

## Tips

* With the mold colonies blocking out the top and bottom lanes, it is absolutely necessary to bring attacking plants that can hit other lanes. However, with most of your options banned, Dandelion will be your only attacking source to defeat these zombies. He comes with a high damage output, clearing out even Pharaoh Zombies in groups, though this comes with a high cost, so it is recommended to stock up on sun-producing plants in order to afford as many of them as possible and defeat any zombies on the top and bottom lanes, especially Egg Escape ambushes dropping Chick Imps further into said lanes.
* Springening Poncho Zombies, apart from being immune to chilling or freezing attacks, also has the ability to eat further and faster. This means that it can be quite a threat when gotten close to your plants, so getting rid of them as soon as possible is recommended. Plants that need to be eaten to work like Electrici-tea or Hypno-shroom will work wonderfully against Springening Poncho Zombies. Hypno-shroom in particular will also make them great allies, as their ability also works against other zombies.
* Egg Enchanter Zombies can immediately turn a plant into an egg upon entering the lawn, making them slightly more dangerous. Otherwise, they do not differ greatly from normal Wizard Zombies. As such, do what you usually do, and take these zombies out quickly before they cause more havoc.

Vasebreaker: Endless

**Vasebreaker Endless** is the **Endless Zone** of Vasebreaker. Just like other Endless Zone, the player will face a randomly chosen layout and tasked to survive before jumping into the next wave (and it goes forever, except if it's game over). Each wave will give the player a certain amount of vases (up to 7 vases in each row) which mostly contains Plants and Zombies, depending on the vase's color. There are 5 green vases every wave. Additionally, each wave has a brown vase which contains 25 sun, allowing the player to plant Stunion, Squash, or Cherry Bomb when necessary. Each wave will also has a brown vase which contains a Plant Food.

In Vasebreaker Endless, all Power Ups are available to the player at any time by spending coins. Reveal Vase lets the player reveal the contents of a vase for 200 coins. Butter Zombie lets the player butter 3 zombies for 300 coins. Move Vase lets the player move a vase to an empty tile for 400 coins. Additionally, the player can purchase one extra Plant Food for 1000 coins. This feature is only available in Vasebreaker Endless.

WWX-II

## **WWX-II: Saved Slot**

**WWX-II**, also known as **Saved Slot**, is the second extra level of Wild West in *Alternate UniverZ*. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Tips

* The limited amount of plants allowed on the lawn means that you will need to be mindful of how you plant in this level. A full Pea Pod makes for powerful potential, but it will take up half the objective. Citron is very powerful, but is especially weak against Chicken Wrangler Zombies. Meanwhile, Lightning Reed will work well against them, but with a limited amount, they will be powerless against tough Pianist Zombies and Buckethead Cowboys. Tall-nut will be able to hold off zombies and save time, but too many of them may lead to an underwhelming defense. Plan your arrangements accordingly.
* Short Fuse ambushes can be quite scary as you don't have a guaranteed way to stop Short-fused Prospectors from launching or attack them when at the back. Move your minecarts around in order to avoid them. Note that Citrons and Pea Pods can hit them when at the backmost column, but doing so may endanger them.

WWX-IX

## **WWX-IX: Gate Crash**

**WWX-IX**, also known as **Gate Crash**, is the ninth and second to last extra level of Wild West in *Alternate UniverZ*. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Tips

* With the sun budget in mind, Electric Currant will aid you heavily here, as you only need to use two of them per column, saving you quite some sun. They will also be able to effectively deal with the lone Zombie Chickens and Chicken Wrangler Zombies. However, they will struggle against high-healthed zombies like Buckethead Cowboys and Zombie Bulls. Use Wall-nuts to hold them off where Electric Currants can attack.
* Use some Split Peas against the Prospector Zombies and Zombie Bull Riders that may bypass your Electric Currants. You can also choose to plant another column of Electric Currants instead. If things get rough, stall the zombies with Iceberg Lettuce, or destroy them with Electrici-tea. You can also use Plant Food on an Electric Currant to increase damage dealt to zombies.

Sun-shroom

*Sun-shrooms give small sun at first and normal sun later.*

**Oh sure, Sun-shroom is known for his ever-present grin and sunny disposition. But truth be told, even he has his dark days. It ain't easy keeping things light when you live in the shadows.**

**Sun-shroom** is the second plant available in Dark Ages in *Alternate UniverZ*. He can grow over time, producing 15 sun when small, and 25 sun when large. Sun-shroom also takes 40 seconds less to grow during nighttime.

Sun-shroom is unlocked after beating DA-III.

## Almanac entry

**Sun-shroom**

SUN COST: 25

RECHARGE: 7.5

TOUGHNESS: 300

SUN PRODUCTION: Variable

Sun-shrooms give small sun at first and normal sun later.
Sun Production: 15/25 sun every 21-24 seconds

Oh sure, Sun-shroom is known for his ever-present grin and sunny disposition. But truth be told, even he has his dark days. It ain't easy keeping things light when you live in the shadows.

## Plant Food effect

When given Plant Food, Sun-shroom grows to his large stage and gives 150 sun.

## Costumes

* Current
* Pre 1.5

## Strategies

Sun-shroom will not sleep during the day and will produce the same amount of sun as Sunflower at his full size. Although Sun-shroom is initially worse early on, he will become better than Sunflower in the long run due to producing faster. Compared to Twin Sunflower though, Sun-shroom has a lower cost and faster recharge rate, but produces 25 to 35 less sun than her.

Sun-shrooms are preferable in days having objectives "Spend no more than X sun." He can be used as an all-around class, for the cheapness, and can be used for "quick-days."

Remember to plan where to plant Sun-shroom carefully before starting a level. While a Sunflower or Twin Sunflower can be dug up and relocated, Sun-shroom takes a great amount of time to grow and therefore cannot be replaced easily.

Sun-shroom's growing mechanism can be seen as planting new sun producing plants, except that you do not actually need to spend sun. This can be useful if the zombies need to be carefully watched, like blowing away Bug Bot Imps.
WW-VI

## **WW-VI: Clucker Flock**

**WW-VI**, also known as **Clucker Flock**, is the sixth level of Wild West in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Chicken Wrangler Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives Melon-pult.

## Tips

* Chicken Wrangler Zombies, when hurt, can release tons of Zombie Chickens. Although being very fragile, they run incredibly quickly, and in groups, can potentially break through your defenses if you aren't ready. Iceberg Lettuce can freeze Chicken Wrangler Zombie, preventing him from releasing his Zombie Chickens, though Poncho Zombies actively discourage so.
* Lightning Reed can hit multiple zombies at once in three lanes, making him a great counter against Zombie Chickens, especially for his price. However, avoid using him as your only attacker, as his damage is a bit lacking.
* Pianist Zombies are also here, making Cowboy Zombies dance. However, as there is only one Conehead Cowboy in the entire level and no Buckethead Cowboys, there is no need to worry too much about tough zombies switching lanes a lot, though be sure to defeat Pianist Zombie as quick as possible.

Tiger Grass

*Tiger Grass spawns a grass tiger who leaps out to attack nearby zombies.*

**Tiger Grass is waiting. The grass tiger waits within. Soon their time will come. And then... the slashes! THE FURY!!!**

**Tiger Grass** is a Timeless Avenue gauntlet plant in *Alternate UniverZ*. It creates a grass tiger that leaps out and claws the first zombie that approaches the fourth tile in front of it for 35 damages, who will then continuously damage them for lower damage before jumping back into the Tiger Grass once the zombie or the tiger itself is defeated.

If the grass tiger is attacked enough, it will be defeated itself, and Tiger Grass will need 10 seconds to create another grass tiger to send out. After 90 seconds, the grass tiger within Tiger Grass will grow, dealing 1.4 times more damage and gaining 1.5 times more health.

Tiger Damage: 25, 35 when it's grown
Special: grass tiger grows over 90 seconds
Special: regeneration time of the grass tiger when defeated is 10 seconds
Tiger Grass is waiting. The grass tiger waits within. Soon their time will come. And then... the slashes! THE FURY!!!

## Plant Food effect

When given Plant Food, Tiger Grass will spawn a fully grown grass tiger which deals a large amount of damage to the first zombie it encounters. The stats are now permanently increased to 50 damage, 70 pounce damage and 600 health. Similar to Cactus and Torchwood, Plant Food cannot be given again to a Tiger Grass that has already been given one.

## Strategies

Tiger Grass serves as a perfect counter against any zombie that has some kind of countermeasure against certain plants, such as: Jester Zombie, as he will stop to eat the tiger rather than reflect it back, due to the grass tiger being able to stop just inches from the zombie and claw him to pieces; MC Zom-B, who will also stop to eat the tiger rather than swing his microphone during his jam; Excavator Zombie, who will stop to hit the grass tiger with his shovel; and Explorer Zombie, who will be incapable of continuing to advance with a grass tiger blocking the way. However, the regeneration of a new tiger takes a while, and so you will need to stack multiple tigers to significantly stop zombies. This means it cannot fully deal with a Gargantuar by itself.

Tiger Grass also works well with stalling plants such as Snow Pea, Kernel-pult and Sap-fling, as they make the zombies deal less or no damage against the tiger while frozen, stunned or slowed. Planting defensive plants such as Wall-nut in front of it or Pumpkin on top of it is also recommended. As long as the Tiger Grass is not destroyed, it will keep spawning grass tigers. This also solves the problem of its long regeneration while the zombies are attacking the defensive plants. Combining it with Gumnut can also be very helpful.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: If you feel like 5 cannons aren't enough, well, you can get more!

Crazy Dave: Just shoot down those parrots quick enough and get some sun!

Penny: You have to decide between quickly shooting to get more sun, or wait for the right time to shoot for big score.

Penny: Because remember, even if you have 7 cannons, you still lose if you don't reach the targeted score.

In the Clouds

**In the Clouds** was the fourth studio album released by the English rock group The Stirlings in 1970. Sticking with the experimentation seen in *The Big One* (1968), *In the Clouds* made use of many new sounds not seen in rock, including early use of synthesizers. The album was released when The Stirlings began using drugs such as LSD, and this most likely played a role in the different sounds and creativity displayed in the album. The album released on July 1, 1970.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Welcome to the Steam Ages, land of the Victorian glory!

Crazy Dave: Penny?

Penny: Yes, user Dave?

Crazy Dave: How did we even get here?

Penny: Not sure, but maybe this incoming transmission I'm recieving could answer our questions.

Crazy Dave: Ooooh, a transmission! How innovative!

Dr. Zomboss: You bet it's innovative!

Crazy Dave: Dr. Zomboss?! In a hologram?!

Crazy Dave: That's CRAAAAZY! But it doesn't line up!

Crazy Dave: You can't be the real Mr. Boss Guy! He only contacts us in notes!

Dr. Zomboss: Mwuahaha! I am far too advanced to be reduced to using a writing utensil!

Dr. Zomboss: Bah! I see you've never faced a proper challenger before!

Dr. Zomboss: That can be remedied!

Dr. Zomboss: Allow me to introduce myself! I am Dr. Edgar George Zomboss!

Dr. Zomboss: ...one much more dangerous than your own. I've crossed realities!

Dr. Zomboss: Opened up bridges, orchestrated travels!

Penny: That would explain why we're dealing with zombies from your reality.

Penny: What's the point of that, though? Why target us?

Dr. Zomboss: Why target YOU!?

Dr. Zomboss: I've heard enough about you pretentious bunch to write a book!

Dr. Zomboss: At first I was ecstatic to meet an alternate version of myself...

Dr. Zomboss: Before I realized how BORING he was!

Dr. Zomboss: He just kept blabbering about how you do-gooders were tough nuts to crack.

Dr. Zomboss: I myself, well, I found that theory hard to believe.

Dr. Zomboss: How dangerous could you guys be if you've never even defeated a proper Zombot!? HAH!

Dr. Zomboss: I'll show that stuck-up fool who's the better Zomboss!

Dr. Zomboss: You're going down, bozos.

Dr. Zomboss: And unlike him, I'm taking you down with style!

Tomb Fest Raiser

*Rises out of tombstones to rapidly spawn more of them on your lawn.*

Tombstones are like the second home to him. You never see him leaving them, unless he's forcing to do it by a giant red piece of text. He hates when that happens, do you?

**Tomb Fest Raiser** is the sixth special zombie encountered in Ancient Egypt in *Alternate UniverZ*. He is an ambush zombie that only spawns from the Tomb Fest ambush, in which he rises out of tombstones. He acts similar to Tomb Raiser Zombie, having the ability to throw bones that create more tombstones if they land on any unoccupied space and faster, but less bones overall compared to Tomb Raiser Zombie.

## Almanac entry

**Tomb Fest Raiser**

TOUGHNESS: Dense

SPEED: Hungry

Rises out of tombstones to rapidly spawn more of them on your lawn.

Health: 750
Speed: 1.20
Special Ability: creates a tombstone on the lawn every 3 seconds for a total of 5 tombstones

Tombstones are like the second home to him. You never see him leaving them, unless he's forcing to do it by a giant red piece of text. He hates when that happens, do you?

## Overview

Tomb Raiser Zombie absorbs a total of 750 damage. He loses his left arm at 375 damage before dying at 750 damage.

## Encounters

* Player's House: Piñata Party

* Ancient Egypt: AEX-VI, AEX-VII, AEX-VIII, AEX-IX, and AEX-X

* The Springscapade: TS-V

* Birthday Bashers: BB-III

* Plant Showcase: Back on Track and Gardened Guillotines

* Timeless Avenue: Glowing Tomb

## Strategies

Tomb Fest Raiser can be very threatening as their creation of tombstones block straight-shooting plants and prevent the player from planting on them. You must try to quickly kill him before he creates more tombstones. This could lead to a lawn filled with all tombstones and forcing you to spend sun for Grave Busters.

Lobber plants like Cabbage-pult, Kernel-pult, Melon-pult and A.K.E.E. are useful as they can ignore the tombstones and attack the zombie directly first. Area of effect plants like Laser Bean and Fume-shroom also work in destroying both the zombie and the tombstones. Two Bloomerangs are also recommended to deal more damage to the Tomb Raiser Zombie. Snapdragon and Coconut Cannon are unnecessary to use in order to destroy the Tomb Raiser Zombie because Snapdragon's range is close and Coconut Cannon needs to have a clear path to hit him. A group of Starfruits are also useful as their multi-directional attack allows them to get rid of tombstones quickly.
When Worlds Flourish - Level 2

**When Worlds Flourish - Level 2** is the second level of the When Worlds Flourish event in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Bandit Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Correct. Something HAS gone haywire.

Penny: The Timeless Avenue has been filled with interdimensional particles!

Penny: Time cracks have been opening up. Our timeline is in the middle of a universal collision!

Penny: I request letting your neighbor use any plant, even those we haven't found.

Crazy Dave: It can't be all that bad, right? Maybe the other universe has all-day breakfast!

Penny: Please note that the other universe is also filled with zombies.

Crazy Dave: Oh.

Penny: And no, there is no all-day breakfast there, from what I've gathered.

Crazy Dave: ...Ah.

Crazy Dave: That aside, I've been studying these interdimensional particles!

Crazy Dave: They all have the universal isotope of 215. Let's call their universe "Universe 215"!

Crazy Dave: And now I'm hungry for some breakfast waffles!

Penny: I can make you some after this incident.

Penny: What we should actually mind right now are the new zombies, here in the Dark Ages.

Penny: This one's called "Bandit Zombie". He seems rather helpful, actually.

WW-I

## **WW-I: The Ranch**

**WW-I**, also known as **The Ranch**, is the first level of Wild West in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Prospector Zombie and the minecarts and rails. After completing this level, the player receives Split Pea.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Welcome to Wild West, land of the cowboys!

Crazy Dave: Look, they have mini-trains!

Penny: Those are minecarts, user Dave. You can plant plants on them to move the plants around.

Crazy Dave: Can I sit on it?

Penny: Sure, if you don't care about getting your pants dirty.

Penny: Or your brain eaten by the zombies.

## Tips

* Minecarts can move a plant along the rails they reside on. This can be very helpful as they assist you with the early game by letting you fight multiple lanes with just a single attacking plant. The downside though is that there is less planting space, so try experimenting with them.
* Prospector Zombies can launch to the back of the lawn using their dynamite and chew on your plants from behind. This can be quite irritating to deal with, though you can extinguish the dynamite with chilling or freezing attacks. Otherwise, try and kill them using an attacking plant on the left minecart.

Crazy Dave: Zomboss' plan is madness! Just like this place!

Crazy Dave: And wow, is he petty.

Penny: A new, returning ally, to be precise.

Crazy Dave: Is it Scaredy-shroom? Please tell me it's Scaredy-shroom!

Crazy Dave: I need Scaredy-shroom so bad! He would be so useful on our adventure!

Penny: Sadly not, user Dave. It's Cattail!

Penny: She is now plantable on land, and her homing spikes will be great aid against sewers!

Penny: As well as the Barrel Zombie. He can endure a lot of damage and has quite a taste for plants.

*Found:* Ru'aun and Tu'la Region

Werewolves are a magical race that was formed before the Great Converging. They were cursed by a long ago witch from before Irene's time.

WW-VIII

## **WW-VIII: Bulldozers**

**WW-VIII**, also known as **Bulldozers**, is the eighth level of Wild West in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Zombie Bull. After completing this level, the player receives Tall-nut.

## Tips

* Zombie Bulls can cause quite some trouble, being able to rush into your defenses, fling an Zombie Bull Rider deeper into them, and proceed. This is especially troublesome with their high health in consideration. Try to trick them into flinging their rider by planting a cheap plant right in front of them, as they prepare to rush or during rushing. Though, do note that Potato Mine and Iceberg Lettuce will not be acknowledged by them. An Electrici-tea, though, will be especially helpful here as apart from tricking them, he will also destroy them afterwards.
* Prospector Zombies and Short Fuse ambushes will possibly catch you off guard, especially with the aid of Poncho Zombies. You know what plant to bring to counter them. We know you're not an idiot. At least, we think so.
