Level 3-8

Level 3-8 is the 28th Plants vs. Zombies level and the eighth Pool level. When the player finishes this level for the first time, he or she unlocks the Tall-nut.

Difficulty

 * The player has to deal with the new Dolphin Rider Zombie, the faster pool version of the Pole Vaulting Zombie. After the Dolphin Rider Zombie jumps over one plant, it loses its dolphin and moves like a regular Zombie similarly to the Pole Vaulting Zombie.

Strategies

 * Suggested plants
 * Repeater or Snow Pea
 * Spikeweed
 * Lily Pad
 * Squash
 * Potato Mine
 * Jalapeno
 * Sunflower
 * Cherry Bomb (if you have eight seed slots)
 * Plant two rows of Sunflowers with Potato Mines to kill the beginning zombies. Once you have enough sun, plant Repeaters or Snow Peas on every lane. Use two of them on pool lanes.
 * Plant Squash in the pool lanes so that the Ducky Conehead Zombies die before reaching them and the Dolphin Rider Zombies will get dragged down by them.
 * Plant at least two columns of Wall-nuts In the pool lanes, and Spikeweeds in every land spot not taken to defend the expensive Repeaters.
 * In the final wave, two Dolphin Rider Zombies and the three Conehead Zombies (that emerges from the pool) are the biggest threats. Make sure you have enough Repeaters and Squash to deal with them.
