Zombie Bobsled Team

The Zombie Bobsled Team only appears after one of the Zomboni has left an ice trail. They will push a bobsled onto the lawn, and once it is completely on the screen, they will jump in. While in the bobsled, they are very fast and usually cannot be stopped. The bobsled will fade away after the end of the bobsled goes off the ice or if the sled is destroyed, after which the four zombies will walk forward normally. They are usually the 14th type of Zombies you will encounter in Adventure Mode, but they can be skipped, by destroying the ice trails quickly. However, if you haven´t encountered them, but have already seen the Zomboni, the game will list them as encountered.

Suburban Almanac Entry
 Zombie Bobsled Team 

These zombie appear in teams of four.

Toughness: low (each zombie)

Bobsled Toughness: low

Special: only appears on ice

Zombie Bobsled Team worked hard to get where they are. They live together, eat brains together, sleep together, and train together to become a cohesive zombie unit.

Overview
Absorbs 55 normal damage shots. Bobsled absorbs 15 normal damage shots. Appearance changes upon absorption of 6 and 12 normal damage shots before disintegrating at 15 normal damage shots. Each zombie absorbs 10 normal damage shots. Appearance changes upon absorption of 5 normal damage shots.

Strategy
The Zombie Bobsled Team fortunately only appears where a Zomboni has left a trail of ice, unless fighting Dr. Zomboss, in which case they will not appear at all. The bobsled has low toughness, although it is quite hard to destroy the bobsled before it reaches the end of the ice trail due to its high speed. Potato Mines are handy against these zombies, as a Potato Mine at the end of the ice trail will destroy both the bobsled and its occupants if timed correctly. You can also use a Chomper but note it must be planted before the bobsled disappears. Peashooters don't work well with them, so use AoE plants such as Fume-shroom or Spikeweed instead. Jalapenos can melt the ice that the bobsled team arrives on, as well as destroying the bobsled and its occupants.Instant kills are a good choice against these zombies as they will kill all of them because most instant kills have a high range.

Bobsled Bonanza Mini-game
At the beginning of the level, use Potato Mines (highly recomended) and other cheap instant kills to defend against these zombies. Replace these with Spikeweeds, as three will be able to kill the zombies once the bobsled disappears. It is unnecessary to upgrade these to Spikerocks, although it has minimal effect the zombies do die faster, while the main reason to upgrade being the Zombonis.
