Boombox Zombie doesn't want to buy, sell or process anything; he just really wants to consume your brains.

**Boombox Zombie** is the fourth special zombie encountered in Neon Mixtape Tour in *Alternate UniverZ*. Upon reaching the seventh column, he will raise his boombox to play the ballad jam for a few seconds, immobilizing all plants on the lawn except for Phat Beet and grounded plants. This also overrides any other jam currently playing.

Boombox Zombie's jam only lasts for eight seconds, but it can be extended by other Boombox Zombies, as long as they play their jam after the original Boombox Zombie does.

## Strategies

When you see this zombie, defeat him as soon as possible or he will use his boombox to prevent plants from using their abilities. He can potentially be very hazardous as plants that are immobilized cannot do anything, leaving other zombies to take down your plants with little to no harm. Also take caution when Breakdancer Zombies or Glitter Zombies are reacting to their jams, as they can help Boombox Zombies get closer and turn on his boombox.
