Kongfu World - Day 16 (Pre-1.8)

Kung-Fu World - Day 16 is the 16th level of Kung-Fu World in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is also the first boss level of the world, and the boss in question is the Gunpowder Devil. Being a boss battle, the player is forced to beat the boss in order to win the level. When the player finishes this level for the first time, they receive a World Key. 33 stars are required to unlock this level and all levels after it.

Difficulty

 * The Gunpowder Devil can summon random zombies from random tiles. One fact is that when it reaches the second stage, it can summon overwhelming quantities of Kung-Fu Torch Zombies and Blew Zombies on the lawn. The number keeps increasing if not taken care of in time. Additionally, the Qigong Zombie, if not watched carefully, can pull the player's defenses forward making them vulnerable.
 * The combo of Qigong Zombies and Drinking Zombies can severely collapse your defenses if not taken care of with White Radish.
 * A combo of Snow Pea and Coconut Cannon has proved to be successful. While the boss is slowed, it recieves a large amount of damage from coconuts. Not all cannons should be fired in one lane, though. Doing so may force the player to use Plant Food.

Level structure
The Gunpowder Devil calls these zombies during these respective phases:


 * First phase:
 * Kung-Fu Zombie
 * Kung-Fu Conehead
 * Kung-Fu Buckethead
 * Gong Zombie


 * Second phase:
 * Kung-Fu Zombie
 * Kung-Fu Conehead
 * Kung-Fu Buckethead
 * Kung-Fu Torch Zombie
 * Blew Zombie
 * Hammer Zombie


 * Third phase:
 * Kung-Fu Zombie
 * Kung-Fu Conehead
 * Kung-Fu Buckethead
 * Drinking Zombie
 * Qigong Zombie
 * Hammer Zombie

The Gunpowder Devil's replacement for the charge attack is an attack that will vaporize the player's plants by bombing them in a 3x3 radius. To counter this, the target plant that the bomb is headed to should be dug up. This also counts as its targeting attack.

Tips

 * Try to save your Plant Food for the third phase, unless you have Power Lily.
 * Don't plant your defenses within the first three columns of the screen. They will be trampled by the Gunpowder Devil.
 * Plant sun-producing plants in spread out areas, as they will be targeted in clusters with bombs.
 * Bring Blover, as you will need it when the boss summons Tiger Imps from the skies.

Trivia

 * It is the first boss fight where the player gets to choose their own plants. However, this leaves more room for error.
