Areas

Areas are the places which the player fights zombies. Most areas have some special variations in them. For example, in the Pool stage, the player needs to use different plants to arm against zombies coming from the water. In the Fog, the player cannot see parts of the screen, and in the Roof, the player needs to use catapults because of the slope of the roof. There is also an area where it is nighttime on the roof, but that's when the player fights Dr. Zomboss. There are six areas in the game. Each area has new zombies and plants to unlock, and sometimes an entirely new strategy.

Other areas in the game where gameplay does not actually happen are Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies and the Zen Garden. These areas involve either buying things or keeping a garden for fun, respectively.
