## Dialogue

(After finishing the level)

(Crazy Dave and Penny appear)

Penny: User Dave, my analysis shows that time is starting to bend itself.

Penny: Zombies from any timeline may appear before or after their initial appearances.

Penny: We will have to be more careful from here on out.

Crazy Dave: Who needs to be careful when we have a world to save?

Crazy Dave: Now, ONWARDDDDD!!!

(Crazy Dave and Penny leave)

## Tips

* This is the first standard level to feature zombies from other worlds, in this case being the Explorer Zombie, so Iceberg Lettuce is going to be helpful.
* Conehead Adventurer Zombies are replaced by Buckethead Adventurer Zombies in this version and Parachute Rain ambushes will happen on the mold colonies. Use plants that you obtained so far that can attack from behind like Starfruit or Bonk Choy. The latter can attack them from behind unless distracted by zombies in front of him (as he prioritizes zombies in front).
* With limited planting spaces and dangerous waves, you should not kill the first zombies too soon so you can pile up on sun to plant enough attackers to finish this level. The pre-picked Spikeweed is crucial in filtering other zombies like Lost City Imp Zombies and Explorer Zombies, just do not plant them too soon or it will damage the first zombies too quickly.

## Strategies

* This is the list of how to beat this level with the most recommend strategy (Credit: User:WalkingAbacus):
	+ First, plant Sunflower on column 6 and plant Iceberg Lettuce on second row gold tile.
	+ Second, Spikeweed on the only other gold tile as you build up Sunflowers. Immediately plant Spikeweed behind the gold tile to kill the first imp. Second imp will be from third row, so prepare an Iceberg Lettuce there, and Potato Mine on third row column 7.
	+ After that, keep building sun on column 6, and row 1 column 7, and plant Bonk Choy on row 5 column 5 as there will be a lost pilot behind later. Then plant Spikeweed on row 1 column 8-9. After the Potato Mine goes off, immediately plant on the same spot again for the upcoming bucket.
	+ Now after this you should try to plant Bonk Choy on column 5 in row 2,3,4 consecutively (ignore 1 until final flag). Finish those Spikeweed on column 8-9 in the order of row 2,3,5. Plant Potato Mine consecutively on column 7 row 4,5,1,5 (as soon as you get the chance to). Do all of these (Bonk Choy, Spikeweed, and Potato Mine) simultaneously.
	+ If you have Bonk Choy on row 2-5, immediately replace Sunflower on row 4 into another Bonk Choy and freeze the bucket so that both bonk hit it. Do the same for row 2 but with Wall-nut. Then, place a Bonk Choy on row 1 column 5 to prepare for the final flag. To cap it off, replace third row and first row Sunflower with Bonk Choy.
* If you do it correctly, you should be able to beat the level. GOOD LUCK.
