Last Stand (PvZ)

Last Stand is the sixteenth Mini-game and is unlocked after beating Adventure Mode once and completing thirteen other minigames. It consists of a series of 5 flags, located in the Pool, which you must survive in order to win. You can't plant any Sun-producing Plants, Puff-shrooms or Sea-shrooms and it is better to not to plant Planterns, Blovers, Flower Pots or Grave Busters. However, you do get to spend 5000 Sun in the beginning of the Mini-Game. Due to the many strategies lots of people made, Last Stand is one of the most popular mini-games in the game.

Overview
In the start, you get 5000 sun, and can choose anything you have (except Sun-shrooms, Sunflowers, Twin Sunflowers, Puff-shrooms or Sea-shrooms, or the Imitater version of any of them). It may not be wise to use Planterns, Blovers, Grave Busters or Flower Pots, as they serve absolutely no purpose here. After you defeat the last zombie for the flag, that last zombie will drop 250 sun. This is the only time you get sun after starting the first onslaught.

Last Stand is frequently used for Gold Farming, with as many Marigolds as possible, Gold Magnets collecting coins automatically for the player and Gloom-shrooms for attacking. This will get him/her about 5-9k of coins, depending what build he/she uses. For more info, see Money Guide.

Trivia

 * The mini-game may be named after many games or the actual term "last stand", which refers to when a small force holds its position when attacked by a much larger force, and while it knows that it will be defeated, the smaller force hopes to delay or severely damage the larger force.
 * If you plant plants with instant usage on your lawn before the onslaught, they will be used instantly, even if there are no zombies.
 * Sun-producing plants are prohibited likely due to the fact that the whole purpose of the mini-game is for the player to build and enhance the fortress in between onslaughts and for the player to use their sun wisely.
 * Puff-shrooms and Sea-shrooms are prohibited likely due to the fact that they are free so their main purpose would be to stall the zombies which would give the player an unfair advantage should the player fill their lawn with those in between onslaughts.
 * Plants don't have to recharge before you start an onslaught.Screen_shot_2011-05-17_at_1.38.35_PM.png
 * LastStandTests is a YouTube channel which uses tests on different plants for Last Stand.
 * Last Stand will not reward a player with any pool related achievements.
 * Last Stand somehow knows what plant set-up is used and adjusts the amount of zombies in relation to what's on the lawn. (This theory needs proof with testing video evidence).
 * The Tall-nut, Garlic,Magnet-shroom and Gloom-shroom are fantastic here.
 * Ladder Zombies, Jack-in-the-Box Zombies and Dolphin Rider Zombies only appear in each huge wave.
 * This is the first game where you're restricted to select some seeds. The second is Versus Mode.
 * Beating this mini-game on the IPhone with 2000 sun left will earn you the achievement Sol Invictus.
 * This is one of the hardest, but most interesting and challenging mini-game
