Hurrikale-->Blover

Hot Potato-->Grave Buster

Chard Guard-->Spring Bean

Rotobaga-->Starfruit

Stunion-->Iceberg Lettuce or Chili Bean

Fire Peashooter-->Actually a combination of Torchwood and Peashooter

Pepper Pult-Perhaps the only original concept plant I disagree, I think the plants in this world are pretty useful and they definately do a good job doing what they're supposed to.

Hurrikale: It's nothing like Blover aside from design, and even then they're quite different. Does Blover push an entire lane of zombies back?, does Blover chill zombies?

Hot Potato: I can mostly agree with this one, but Hot Potato fills a need that the player has in this world, since ice blocks aren't just gravestones, they also incapacitate your plants and HP can help with that while GB couldn't. Also zombies can't eat HP, unlike GB which will most likely be eaten before it can destroy any graves that are near zombies.

Chard Guard: Spring Bean's primary use really is to push a single zombie into the water, since it barely pushes zombies back otherwise, while Chard Guard's main use is to push back groups of zombies back a lot, buying you more time to kill them. Also CG has three uses it can use whenever it has to, while SB has infinite uses but takes a really long time to recharge.

Rotobaga: I can't really say much about it since I don't have Part 2 yet, but to me it seems like it does more overall damage than Starfruit and also shoots in different directions than Starfruit, which allows it to take attack zombies coming from slider tiles very effectively.

Stunion: IL's main purpose is to stop a single zombie for some time, CB's main use is as an instant kill that also stops a whole row for some time, while Stunion is a little bit of both. It doesn't stop a single zombie nor a whole lane, but rather a small group. Also to me it seems like Stunion's effect lasts a little longer than Chilly Bean's.

I can agree with Fire Peashooter being just a combination of those two plants, but I believe it's main use was as a way to thaw frozen plants more effectively than Pepper Pult since it has a better recharge.

(Also do you really think that Pepper Pult is the more original plant in this world?, it's just a Melon Pult but worse).
