For example, winter melon was an upgrade of melon pult and Gatling pea was an upgrade of repeater. The upgrades cost more and you needed to plant the more powerful version on top of the lesser version. That was unique and didn’t feel overpowered. Well, it would be nice, but here's the thing though, ever since they no longer used it, it kinda feels weird to make it a thing again. Mostly for upgrade plants from Chomper to Toadstool, how would that work, since Toadstool costs 50 suns more? Would Toadstool costs 50 suns?

Well as far as I can remember in the first pvz, melon pult cost 325 and winter melon cost 500, so in total the cost would be 825. It’s really high and means that during a level you can only upgrade a few melon pults but it still helps a lot. And it’s not overpowered.

So you would need to plant a chomper first with its full price and then toadstool on top of it with its full price.

Imagine a scenario where you can only “level up” or “upgrade” a few of each type of plant during a level. So you don’t have the upgraded version immediately every time you plant. You need to earn more sun to upgrade them.

And because you can only upgrade them during a level, the changes to that plant are certainly not permanent and only last during that level only.
