## Statistics

### Type

Sun Bombs
Special Delivery

## Rewards

### Replaying

Same as before

**Defuse Chaos** is an extra quest of Far Future in *Alternate UniverZ*. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: The suns are bombs again!

Penny: In case you didn't notice before, Sun Bombs can damage zombies in a huge area.

Penny: That same radius is smaller for plants, so keep on activating sun bombs, even if they don't seem to reach zombies.

Crazy Dave: Let them taste the solar power! A radiated one at that!

## Tips

* As sun is not needed in this level, try and take full advantage of the destructive sun to weaken zombies, as early on, you do not get any attacking plants other than Split Pea, and Jetpack Zombies will already show up at this point. However, this does not mean the destructive sun get useless later on, as the plants alone may struggle against the high density of zombies. Try activating the sun in places where your plants would not be affected, as it is important to keep as many plants alive as possible for this level, especially the Explode-O-Nuts, which may be handy for the later waves.
* Be cautious of the Prospector Zombies that may sneak to the back and destroy your attacking plants, leaving you vulnerable to the Disco-tron 3000s and Mecha-Football Zombies. Also, save your E.M.Peaches for when teleportation may happen, as a Mecha-Football Zombie may get dangerously close, or right on the middle of your defenses.

## 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.*

DA-IV

## **DA-IV: Hidden Charm**

**DA-IV**, also known as **Hidden Charm**, is the fourth level of Dark Ages in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Wizard Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Zombies in this era seem to be experts in magic.

Crazy Dave: Magic? I don't believe it!

Penny: Whether you believe it or not, the wizards are here.

Crazy Dave: The wizards? That sounds suspicious!

Crazy Dave: Neighbor, if I were you, I wouldn't plant anything near those guys!

Penny: That would be for the better, or for worse.

## Tips

* Wizard Zombies are quite dangerous, being able to turn your plants into sheep that does nothing. As they are quite protected by tombstones, try using Grave Buster to remove the tombstones in front of him and expose him to your attacking plants. Also, piercing plants like Bloomerang or Laser Bean are valuable options as well.
* Reanimator Zombies will protect Wizard Zombies further with their Summoning Tombs and constantly arising Plagued Peasants blocking shots for them, so get rid of them as fast as possible. Buckethead Peasants will be quite hazardous as well, and quite a few of them appear in this medium attack. Try and afford as many attacking plants as possible to defend yourself against them, especially with the newly received Sun-shroom, which will produce less sun than Sunflower early on, but is cheaper, and will serve you well in the long run by growing larger and producing more sun than before.

Cattail

*Cattails launch homing spikes at zombies near them.*

**Cattail is very active on social media, notably on Tweeter. She's mostly known for being an icon of "Cat-Like Creatures who are not actually Cats" independence and frequently voices her controversial opinions.**

**Cattail** is a Timeless Avenue gauntlet plant in *Alternate UniverZ*. She was originally unlocked after beating When Worlds Flourish - Level 15 and is a part of the When Worlds Flourish crossover event, and as such originates from the *Plants vs. Zombies 2: Reflourished* mod. She launches a volley of two homing spikes every 1.9 seconds, dealing 15 damage per spike to the leftmost zombie in her range. Cattail can only target zombies that are 3 columns ahead or behind of her. Similar to Void Orchid, Ghost Pepper and Rotobaga, Cattail can be planted on the waters of Big Wave Beach without drowning.

## Almanac entry

**Cattail**

SUN COST: 175

RECHARGE: 15

TOUGHNESS: 300

DAMAGE: 15

ATTACK COOLDOWN: 1.9

Cattails launch homing spikes at zombies near them.
Special: Can be planted on tides

Cattail is very active on social media, notably on Tweeter. She's mostly known for being an icon of "Cat-Like Creatures who are not actually Cats" independence and frequently voices her controversial opinions.

## Plant Food effect

When given Plant Food, Cattail creates a massive missile and launches it at any zombie in her range. The missile then explodes into a burst of electricity, dealing 500 damage all zombies in a large area. If there is no target in her range, the missile will fly off the lawn, hitting random targets on its way.

Arcade Zombie

*Pushes an arcade cabinet that spits out 8-Bit Zombies.*

When it's a choice between quarters for games and quarters for laundry, Arcade Zombie is prepared to make the ultimate stinky sacrifice.

**Arcade Zombie** is the sixth special zombie encountered in Neon Mixtape Tour in *Alternate UniverZ*. He pushes an arcade cabinet in a manner similar to Troglobite pushing frozen blocks. During the 8-bit jam, the arcade cabinets will start spawning 8-Bit Zombies, which are 8-bit variants of Basic Zombies, Conehead Zombies, and Buckethead Zombies.

## Almanac entry

**Arcade Zombie**

TOUGHNESS: Protected

SPEED: Stiff

Pushes an arcade cabinet that spits out 8-Bit Zombies.

Health: 490
Cabinet Health: 800
Speed: 0.86
Special Ability: arcade cabinet spawns 8-Bit Zombies every 15-20 seconds

When it's a choice between quarters for games and quarters for laundry, Arcade Zombie is prepared to make the ultimate stinky sacrifice.

## Overview

Arcade Zombie absorbs a total of 490 damage. He loses his left arm at 245 damage, before dying.

## Encounters

* Player's House: Piñata Party

* Neon Mixtape Tour: NMT-VIII, NMT-IX, NMT-X, NMTX-I, NMTX-II, NMTX-IV, NMTX-VII, NMTX-IX and NMTX-X

* Big Wave Beach: BWBX-II

* Plant Showcase: Gardened Guillotines

* Timeless Avenue: Cowboy Bebop

* Invaded Levels: Invaded LCX-VIII

* Endless Zones: Greatest Hits

* Veteran Quests: The Final Countdown

## Strategies

Unlike most zombies in Neon Mixtape Tour, the Arcade Zombie can pose more of a threat than a Basic Zombie even when his jam is *not* playing - he can crush plants with his arcade machine, plus it blocks straight-shooting projectiles. The real problem, however, is when the jam *does* play, as the arcade machine is able to spawn 8-Bit Zombies in endless quantities, which pose a great threat of overwhelming your defenses. It is important to note that you should try to destroy his arcade machine as quickly as possible.
Ancient Egypt

*An empty Ancient Egypt lawn.*

**Ancient Egypt** is the 2nd area encountered in *Alternate UniverZ*. It takes place in the civilization of Egypt at around 4000 BC.

The area's main gimmick are tombstones. They are obstacles that block straight projectiles and disallow planting on them by normal means. A tombstone gets destroyed once 700 damage is dealt to it, or when Grave Buster is planted on that tile.

In Ancient Egypt, there are sometimes sandstorms. There will be a warning saying "Sandstorm!", and the zombies in them will be pushed through your defense. They are vulnerable to attacks while they are part of these sandstorms, though they move extremely fast while being pushed.

In Ancient Egypt Extra (AEX), there is also the "Tomb Fest!" ambush, in which a Tomb Fest Raiser rises out from one of the tombstones located on the lawn. If there are no tombstones present, however, the ambush will not occur.
Big Bad Butte

**Big Bad Butte** is the third **Endless Zone** in *Alternate UniverZ*. It is Wild West's Endless Zone. It is unlocked after beating WWX-V.

## Dialogue

DAX-IX

## **DAX-IX: Sunshine Stockpile**

**DAX-IX**, also known as **Sunshine Stockpile**, is the ninth and second to last extra level of Dark Ages in *Alternate UniverZ*. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: What is this level supposed to be again? Last stand or survival?

Penny: Both and neither at the same time, user Dave.

Crazy Dave: Ah, Schrodinger's level it is!

## Tips

* Although you cannot use sun-producing plants here, tombstones will provide you with more sun, so it is recommended to bring stalling plants to support your defenses, as well as prolong waves to negate encountering fearsome foes. Tombstones will also rise on the backlines and thwart your defenses, so be sure to prepare yourself for these surprises. Grave Buster will be a good option to clear these tombstones and help you get back on your feet again.
* Due to the inclusion of Reanimator Zombie and Jester Zombie, piercing plants such as Laser Bean or Fume-shroom should be considered. However, Zombie Kings will prove to be a hazard to them, as they will promote weak zombies into Knight Zombies, which may potentially overwhelm your piercing plants. Imp Cannons will also hinder your plants by constantly firing Imp Pirate Zombies closer to your plants. Bringing defensive plants such as Tall-nut, Infi-nut or Peanut could be an option to block them off.

## 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.*

BWB-I

## **BWB-I: Seaside Stories**

**BWB-I**, also known as **Seaside Stories**, is the first level of Big Wave Beach in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Snorkel Zombie and the water. After completing this level, the player receives Lily Pad.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Welcome to Big Wave Beach, land of the, uh...

Penny: Apparently they call themselves "Pompadours" and "Bikinis", huh.

Penny: Let's just go with that.

Crazy Dave: Sun! Sand! Beach! This is it! This is PARADISE!

Penny: Even with the zombies?

Crazy Dave: ...Maybe without the zombies.

Penny: With this much water, planting plants can be quite troublesome.

Crazy Dave: Yeah, everybody knows plants can't swim!

Crazy Dave: Though, we can still plant on the sand, so it's not all that bad.

Crazy Dave: And I'm pretty sure we'll find a familiar face to help us deal with this problem!

Crazy Dave: Speaking of a familiar face, I recognize that zombie!

Crazy Dave: It's been five millennia since we've seen this guy, think about it!

Crazy Dave: I hope you still remember how to deal with them!

(After the player receives the Lily Pad)

Crazy Dave: Wait, how did the tides move?

Penny: Zomboss can now control the orbits of the moon.

Crazy Dave: Wait, WHAT?

Penny: Just kidding, it's just an underwater wave generating machine.

Crazy Dave: Phew, you got me Penny!

Penny: Tides can become dangerous if your plants aren't on the Lily Pads, as they would drown.

Penny: There's a sign telling how far the tide can reach.

Crazy Dave: And lucky for you, you got yourself some Lily Pads.

Crazy Dave: Plant as many of those as you can and you'll be A-O-GOOD!

## Tips

* The water will prove to be detrimental to your planting space, as you cannot plant on it, and it will constantly shift, drowning most plants that are caught in their waves. Fortunately, there are some preplaced Lily Pads in the level, which allows you to place plants on them without having them drown. Be sure to protect them from the zombies to gain the upper hand.
* Snorkel Zombies will dive underwater when creeping towards your plants, which allows him to avoid projectiles until he surfaces to eat. Apart from using defensive plants such as Wall-nuts and Endurians, note that he can also be attacked by lobbing plants like Cabbage-pult, nullifying him considerably.

## In-game statistics

### Health

650 damage

**Dark Summoner Zombie** is a zombie from *Plants vs. Zombies 2: Reflourished*, that appears in *Alternate UniverZ* during the When Worlds Flourish event. He summons Imp Dragon Zombies in a diagonal fashion around him for two times at most. He is also immune to most magical effects, such as transformations, hypnotisations and teleportation, as well as eating plants faster compared to other zombies.

## Overview

Dark Summoner Zombie absorbs a total of 650 damage. He loses his left arm at 325 damage, before dying.
DA-I

## **DA-I: Moongrains**

**DA-I**, also known as **Moongrains**, is the first level of Dark Ages in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the sun and Plant Food tombstones. After completing this level, the player receives Puff-shroom.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Welcome to Dark Ages, land of the peasants!

Penny: User Dave, mind explaining again why we arrived at night?

Crazy Dave: Come on Penny, it's the Dark Ages! It's not Dark Ages when it's not dark!

Penny: That's not what it means...

Penny: Though it seems like the dark influence is preventing us from using our Pro Plants.

Crazy Dave: Hey, that's not very nice. I can smell shrooms from afar though! Seems... strange.

Penny: If you say so.

Penny: Luckily, these graves on the lawns are actually beneficial.

Penny: Well, some of them.

Penny: Gravestones with sun on them burst out sun when destroyed, same with the ones with Plant Food.

Crazy Dave: Grave Buster! I haven't seen you in forever!

(After the player picks up the Puff-shroom)

Crazy Dave: See? There are shrooms here!

Crazy Dave: This little guy is going to help us a lot during the nighttime!

Penny: Seems like they've improved since we're gone.

Penny: Now they can be used on daytime, but they'll be doing slight worse.

Crazy Dave: Thank goodness, because I think I forgot Coffee Bean back at our home.

## Tips

* The tombstones are similar to the ones in Ancient Egypt, blocking your shots. However, some of them also release some sun or Plant Food when destroyed, which will aid you immensely during the nighttime. Grave Buster should be used here to obtain them quickly and gain a head start.
* The zombies here are not very dangerous, with the toughest zombie being a Conehead Peasant. Using cheap attacking plants like Peashooter, Cabbage-pult or Lightning Reed to defeat zombies will be crucial. Also, it is recommended to use early game plants like Iceberg Lettuce or Potato Mine as much as possible to delay waves from coming while getting as much sun as possible from your Sunflowers.

DA-III

## **DA-III: Six Feet Over**

**DA-III**, also known as **Six Feet Over**, is the third level of Dark Ages in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Reanimator Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives Sun-shroom.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: Lookie at the new Zombies!

Crazy Dave: What are they gonna do?

Penny: From what I've gathered, they seems to be called "Reanimator Zombies"

Penny: So, take a guess, a wild guess, as you will.

## Tips

* Reanimator Zombies drops a Summoning Tomb upon death, which blocks shots similarly to regular tombstones, and summons Plagued Peasants constantly. This can prove to be quite dangerous, so try and avoid Reanimator Zombies from getting close to your defenses by distracting them with Puff-shrooms or by using an Iceberg Lettuce. Using plants like Potato Mine or Electrici-tea against him can make him not drop a Summoning Tomb as well, so it is highly recommended.
* As for the Plagued Peasants themselves, having piercing plants like Bloomerang that can dispose of them while slowly destroying the Summoning Tomb at the same time, is vital. Since there are no Buckethead Peasants in sight, focus on gathering sun from Sunflowers and tombstones for an early defense against these zombies.

## **AE-VI: Flame Scratcher**

**AE-VI**, also known as **Flame Scratcher**, is the sixth level of Ancient Egypt in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Explorer Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives Iceberg Lettuce.

## Tips

* Explorer Zombies can burn down your plants quickly, making Wall-nuts inefficient. Use Peashooter or Cabbage-pult to take them down quickly, and try not to let them get close to your defenses.
* Aside from them, the level also contains tough Buckethead Mummies. Note that Explorer Zombies cannot burn down Potato Mines, so they will be very effective in this level.

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: The zombies on upper lanes are faster than normal, and slower on lower lanes.

Crazy Dave: That's odd, what causes that?

Penny: Zomboss can now control the rotation speed of the Earth, the Earth now spins faster.

Crazy Dave: Ha ha, that's funny... that's gotta be a joke, right?

Penny: ...

Crazy Dave: ...Right?!?!

Penny: Right now, I could not find any reasoning that's more plausible than this.

Penny: I'm doing tests on anything I can get my hands on, and nothing useful comes up.

Crazy Dave: Wait, you've got HANDS?!

Penny: ...Sigh, I'll be doing more tests, but for now let's talk about the new plant.

Penny: Submerge-mint is quite an interesting plant, as it packs quite the ability.

Penny: But to keep it concise, it spews bubbles that damage zombies through their armors,

Penny: Give splash damage to ALL attackers for a limited time, and MORE damage to ones that already splashes,

Penny: and it can also give aquatic plants boosts too.

Crazy Dave: That sounds CRAAAAZY! Come on neighbor, let's go check it out!

Penny: And before you ask, yes, a machine can sigh too.

Penny: "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Sigh", that sort of thing.

(After the player picks up the note)

Crazy Dave: Well, that wasn't too bad, was it?

Crazy Dave: Well, how's it going on your side Penny?

Penny: ...This is embarrassing.

Penny: I glanced over a zombie's communication device, and uh...

Penny: The zombies were just instructed to walk at different speed depending on their lanes.

Crazy Dave: Well, sometimes the correct answer is the simplest one!

Crazy Dave: Look! It must be time to play Beach Zombie Bungo!

Penny: Bingo, User Dave. It's BINGO.

Crazy Dave: You already won, Penny? Wow. You're good at this!

Crazy Dave: I choose... these SIX!

Crazy Dave: That's probably what Mr. Boss Guy was thinking when he designed this!

Crazy Dave: Heh, a lot less cool than three.

## Tips

* The plants given by Crazy Dave are rather simple, with Sunflower for gaining more sun, Bonk Choy as your main source of damage, Wall-nut to support your Bonk Choys, Electrici-tea for killing off early zombies and Pharaoh Zombies, Grave Buster to clear the large amount of tombstones present in the level, and Iceberg Lettuce for stalling.
* It is recommended to focus on expanding your planting space above all else in this level, with Tomb Raiser Zombies appearing early on and spawning an overwhelming amount of tombstones. At the same time, be sure to plant some Bonk Choys when you get the chance to control the large quantity of Sandstorm ambushes later on.

Crazy Dave: Yeah! Otherwise there'll be zombies coming out of them! Very dangerous!

(After the player picks up the note)

Crazy Dave: These signs won't stop me because I can't read!

Penny: Best to find clues from the context, user Dave.

## Tips

* The newly obtained Magnet-shroom is a great plant at easing your troubles, as he can remove buckets from any Buckethead Peasant as well as knight helms from Knight Zombies, nullifying Zombie Kings in the process. Thus, he will be quite an important plant to keep alive so that he can assist you most sufficiently.
* As the penultimate level of Dark Ages, be ready for a royal battle against zombies rising constantly from tombstones. Unfortunately, the constant Necromancy ambushes cannot be prevented, as there are unremovable tombstones on the very back of the lawn, which not even Grave Buster can destroy. Though Zombie Kings will destroy some of them by crushing them, more will appear later on. Hence, try and gain ground for yourself while fending against the likes of Wizard Zombies and Jester Zombies. Piercing plants will be an excellent idea, especially if you have brought Magnet-shroom, draining the zombies of their health significantly.

AE-IV

## **AE-IV: Grave Danger**

**AE-IV**, also known as **Grave Danger**, is the fourth level of Ancient Egypt in *Alternate UniverZ*. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: Yikes, that's a lot of graves!

Penny: Bloomerang's attacks can help us get through this.

Crazy Dave: Yeah, always try out new plants whenever you get them!

Crazy Dave: They're usually very good on the very day after.

Crazy Dave: It's almost like this was well-planned ahead!

## Tips

* As mentioned by Penny, the newly obtained Bloomerang will be able to help against not only the preset tombstones, but also the Camel Zombies. Pairing it with Cabbage-pult can render the Tomb Raiser Zombies' tombstones useless as well, which should make the level a breeze if you produce enough sun.
* Use Potato Mine to take out early zombies and Wall-nuts to defend when in a dire situation. Peashooter is also quite useful for extra damage.

Crazy Dave: You know, they used to call me-

Crazy Dave: Whoops, I forgot about the no references thing, sorry Penny.

Penny: Nonono, it's fine! Just do it!

Crazy Dave: Uhh, are you sure?

Penny: Yeah! Why not!

Crazy Dave: ...Alright then.

Crazy Dave: You know, they used to call me "Fog Man"

Crazy Dave: 'cause I would hang out in the fog and JUMP OUT AT PEOPLE.

Crazy Dave: Ah, those were the days.

Penny: Yay! What a cool reference!

Crazy Dave: This doesn't feel quite right.

**BWB-III**, also known as **Leap of Faith**, is the third level of Big Wave Beach in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Tiki Tripper Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives Tangle Kelp.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Penny: Hmm, I found a strange anomaly about this new zombie.

Penny: User Dave, I think you might be interested in this.

Crazy Dave: Huh? What's so weird about it?

Penny: This zombie runs towards the plants, then its mask launches once it reaches a plant.

Crazy Dave: Now that doesn't sound too bad, does it?

Penny: What's weird is that, the mask can grow a full body after it's dropped.

Penny: But only when the zombie launches it itself, not when we kill it.

Crazy Dave: \*GASPS\* COULD IT BE?!?!

Crazy Dave: Microscopic motion-triggered damage absorbant and regenerating nanomachines?

Crazy Dave: Or something like that, I dunno.

Crazy Dave: But what I DO know is that it's not magic! That Boss Guy can't fool me twice!

BWB-II

## **BWB-II: Waves of Waves**

**BWB-II**, also known as **Waves of Waves**, is the second level of Big Wave Beach in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Surfer Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Tips

* The Surfer Zombies will surf past the water, and crush the first plant they encounter, replacing it with a surfboard, making them considerable threats. They will also carry their surfboard over their head, protecting themselves from lobbing plants, so it is recommended to use straight shooting plants such as Bloomerang, Red Stinger or Cactus against them. They will also not drop their surfboard if they are defeated via fire damage, like Pepper-pult, so you can consider using those to nullify them effectively.
* The water covers more ground here, making your planting space even more limited. Fortunately, you are now able to place down Lily Pads wherever you please. However, be sure to afford a stable sun income before you start placing more of them down, and be sure to protect them from the zombies as well.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: I can sense a lot of Heart of the Seas incoming.

Penny: Not just a lot, they'll last longer too!

Crazy Dave: Use them nicely to beat THE finale of the waves!

Penny: Yeah! Go kick those zombies' butts!

Crazy Dave: And Penny, we need to talk after this.

Penny: Whatever you say Dave!

Crazy Dave: Yeah, that's not it.

(After the player picks up the Big Wave Beach Trophy)

Crazy Dave: Now with that done, Penny, I have to ask...

Crazy Dave: I can't help but notice that you've been acting quite strange.

Crazy Dave: And the only conclusion I can come up with is...

Crazy Dave: Penny, are you my daughter's soul trapped inside the machine?

Penny: ...Dave, you...

Penny: You've played too many video games, User Dave.

Penny: First, I thought you don't believe in supernatural/magical ideas.

Penny: Second, you don't even have a WIFE user Dave, let alone a daughter.

Crazy Dave: Oh! I forgot about that detail, silly me!

Crazy Dave: So, what were those weird acts about then?

Penny: I felt like I was being too harsh on you, user Dave.

Penny: So... I modified my personality accordingly to your liking.

Penny: But I guess that didn't work out.

Crazy Dave: Aw, that's so sweet of you!

Crazy Dave: But I need you to stop me sometimes, y'know!

Crazy Dave: Without you, who knows what kind of CRAAAAZY things I would've done!

Crazy Dave: So just be yourself, Penny!

Penny: That's quite a difficult task for an A.I., but I'll try.

Crazy Dave: Alright, enough about us, let's continue the adventure!

**HS-I**, also known as **Meet Your Heroes**, is the first level of the Heroic Showdown quest in *Alternate UniverZ*. After completing this level, the player receives a Money Bag.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: Oh my gourd, what happened to our lawn!?!

Crazy Dave: It's like a battlefield in here!

Penny: That is because the lawn IS a battlefield, user Dave.

Crazy Dave: If that's the case, shouldn't the zombies wear armor and not costumes?

Penny: It seems like this is the yearly "Hero Convention". I should take a look at my pop culture database...

Crazy Dave: Oh, cool! My favorite superhero is Nightcap!

Crazy Dave: Why, I remember loving comics about him when I was a kid!

Penny: These cosplay zombies will try to mimic the abilities of their favorite superheroes.

Penny: Keyword "try". The execution is undoubtedly mediocre.

Crazy Dave: Come on, Penny, don't be like that! The zombies tried their best!

Crazy Dave: Some respect from you would be nice!

Penny: User Dave...

FF-III

## **FF-III: Fuel and Air**

**FF-III**, also known as **Fuel and Air**, is the third level of Far Future in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Jetpack Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives Infi-nut.

## Dialogue

(At the start of the level)

Crazy Dave: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's a-

Penny: Zombie hovering with a jetpack.

Crazy Dave: Hey! No need to disrupt me like that!

Penny: Anyways, these jetpacks zombies fly above all plants AND projectiles.

Penny: They can become really dangerous.

Crazy Dave: Funny how they went with jetpacks when small bamboo copters were invented 211 years ago!

## Tips

* As Penny has warned, Jetpack Zombies fly above all plants and some projectiles, and therefore can only be damaged by certain plants. For now, lobbed-shot plants like Cabbage-pult and Kernel-pult are the best choice against the Jetpack Zombies. Laser Bean also works against these foes. Additionally, Tall-nuts can block Jetpack Zombies from advancing.
* Aside from them, focus on maintaining a good defense to hold off Future Buckethead Zombies as smoothly as possible.

## 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.*

## Update History

### Version 1.5.1

* Adjusted with pre-planted plants for a better introduction to Jetpack Zombie.

## Trivia

* Crazy Dave's first line of dialogue is a reference to introductions of the comic book character *Superman* specifically "Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, It's Superman!".
	+ His line of dialogue mentioning "bamboo copters" is a reference to Bamboo Copters from the anime and manga series *Doraemon*.

AE-VIII

## **AE-VIII: Encased Corruption**

**AE-VIII**, also known as **Encased Corruption**, is the eighth level of Ancient Egypt in *Alternate UniverZ*. It acts as an introduction to the Pharaoh Zombie. After completing this level, the player receives Snow Pea.

## Dialogue

(After the player picks up the Snow Pea)

Crazy Dave: How come are there multiple pharaohs when there's only one ruling the land?

Penny: Simple, they're past pharaohs.

Crazy Dave: Oh... yeah, that makes sense.

## Tips

* Pharaoh Zombies are immensely durable, stronger than even a Buckethead Mummy, and are quite fast upon breaking away from their sarcophagi. To avoid this, simply using a Potato Mine to kill them off or blocking them with Wall-nuts are the way to go.
* Explorer Zombies are also generally dangerous threats, so remember your Iceberg Lettuce.

Fright Theater

**Fright Theater** is a minigame in *Alternate UniverZ*. It can be accessed through the Arcade icon in the main menu, containing 3 unique levels. Fright Theater involves carpets that cannot be planted on, with some exceptions like Spikeweed or Ghost Pepper. The zombies will walk along the carpets in a similar fashion to the Seagull Zombies in Cannons Away. The player is required to stop at least three zombies from getting to the straw house at the end of the lawn by using the given plants, and failing to do so results in a loss. Killing a zombie rewards the player with sun, which is the only way to receive any in the level. Some zombies will also act as minibosses, with much higher toughness and special abilities, and only appearing by the end of the level, functioning as a test to your defenses.

Penny: ...in this time era alone.

Penny: Perhaps try giving our neighbor actual advice.

Crazy Dave: Ah, alright then, \*ahem\*.

Crazy Dave: Uh oh, they're here.

Crazy Dave: Better get ready.
