Dialogue
(Crazy Dave and Penny appear) Penny: Welcome to Ancient Egypt! Penny: Please wait 4500 years for your taco to be ready... more or less. Crazy Dave: That doesn't smell right. Crazy Dave: I'm sure my taco is around here somewhere, but in the meantime... Crazy Dave: These plants were made for plantin'. (Crazy Dave and Penny leave)

Strategies

Tips

 * To begin the stage, it is advised to kill the first two zombies or so with Potato Mines before planting the first Peashooter.
 * The Ra Zombie is no more threatening than a Mummy Zombie. Do not overreact when you first see one.
 * You can stall a Ra Zombie by allowing it to attract your sun and picking it up at the last second.
 * Wall-nuts can be used if a Conehead Mummy manages to get too far into your defense.
