I don't have much trouble with it anymore, but I hate the gosh darn Barrel Roller.

No matter how you destroy its barrel, there is what? One instance where the imps,aren't released without using Plant Food? And to add insult to injury, that involves a premium plant. AOE plants are really the only reliable answer to Barrel Rollers. Sadly, the earliest AOE plant with good range is Bloomerang. The other main AOE plants can only be found in worlds with medium-to-hard difficulty. Still, these AOE plants are given somewhat earlier in the progression of their respective worlds, most can get pass the PS Garg Boss level to go to these worlds, and now ZackScott apparently gave all of us an extra world key.

Annoying Qualities:


 * The barrel is like a weaker sarcophagus


 * When left immobile, the imps will annoyingly break free.


 * Crushes plants


 * Imps somehow can bypass the Infi-nut's forcefield the last time I checked.


 * Releases Imps even when there's a lawnmower

Does anyone actually uses Spikeweed and Spikerock to deal with them?
