## Difficulty

* Like the previous two days, this level takes form of a fast-paced challenge, where the player has to react fast and accordingly in order to win.
* Since this is the first level of the game (with the exception of the Player's House levels), it is is generally easy. Despite the quick start of the zombie onslaught, the player already starts with three pre-planted Wall-nuts, which should help stall the first waves and quickly build up their sun income.
* The player is given four Plant Food in this level, including one that is granted for free as a reward for completing the tutorial, making this level easier to start off.
* Ra Zombies can steal sun unless you tap on it first. However, they are weak and can only hold a small amount of sun. Once they are defeated, they drop all the sun they took. Take them down to get sun tht got stolen from Ra zombie

## Strategies

* Plant Potato Mines on tiles behind zombies that are busy eating the Wall-nuts. Because of the inability for a Zombie to eat a ground Plant while eating another one, the Potato Mine will have time to arm itself and eventually destroy the Zombie that is still busy eating the Wall-nut.
* Spend the first Plant Food on a sun-producing plant in order to accelerate the sun income and be prepared for the first wave.

## 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.*

 **2** | 2 4 3 | None
 **4** |   | None
 **5** |      | None

## Trivia

* This is the first level in the game where the player is given and uses Plant Food.
* This is the first level in *Plants vs. Zombies 2* to have a new zombie that did not appear in the original game.
* If the player turns the game off, returns, and receives a message advertising the Zombot Sphinx-inator before beating this level, the Map of Space-time-ness will appear despite not being obtained yet.
* After a certain update, lawn mowers in this level respawn, making this level impossible to lose.
