I've played the Chinese version. Most all plants aren't obtained via natural progression, but by collecting stars or collecting either 5 or 10 puzzle pieces. Then, 30 pieces and 50000 to upgrade to level 2, then 50 pieces and 100000 coins to get to level 3. Costumes upgrade Plant Food, but what about the costume-changer?

Also, most of the monthly plants look unpromising. Carrot Missile Truck has long reloads, Dandelion is suckish, Vigorous Broccoli... I don't about, and Pomegranate Machine Gun looks CREEPY. That's just great, especially considering how the first game wanted a balance between a "sickenly cute" and a "gruesome" game.
