Interesting idea, even if it's an excuse to bring up the remaining plants from the first PvZ. The question is how to work with these plants so that they can work on other worlds. Tangle Kelp would only be useful on this world, compared to Lily Pad and Cat-Tail (both could work on Pirate Seas). Blover is so-so, unless Dark Ages has mist (in which case, it'd be great for Dark Ages and Zombie Wars). Pumpkin, on the other hand...broken. Pumpkin + Bonk Choy/Snapdragon would be twice as broken, since you'd have the resistance of a Wall-Nut and the power + speed of Bonk Choy or the 3x2 assault of Snapdragon. Curious to see the interaction between Pumpkin and Explorer Zombie...

As for the zombies...I get jitters out of the Smoke Grenadiers and the Paratrooper Zombies, because of the increased health (same as Conehead) but its lots of uses. Not only does it have the Tomb Raider Zombie's "grenade" effect, but it has a summoning effect AND an effect if you defeat it. Thing is, once the Smoke Grenadiers are there, the Paratroopers will be there, and they're basically Imps with better Health, which is bad. I'd make Paratroopers bonafide Imps (10 Health, Hungry speed). I'd go for "Master Chief Buckethead", just for the sake of parody.

Missing: Gargantuar of the stage. Maybe M1A1 Gargantuar (as in, the Gargantuar's the zombie brigade tank)? That'd make the zombie troops as follows: Pvt. Zombie, Sgt. Conehead, MCS Buckethead, Smoke Grenadier, Imp Paratrooper, Kamikaze Zombie, Gunner Zombie.

Agree with Bamboo Shoot (one "Asian" Zombie, one "Asian" plant), but Coconut Cannon does part of what Cob Cannon does, for cheaper, and saving space. You'd barely be capable of using Cob Cannon with the marshes there, when Winter Melon and Coconut Cannon are much better in that regard.
