Strategies
Breakdancer Zombie teaming with dangerous zombies will cause a lot of trouble to the player's defense, especially if he teams with MC Zom-Bs and Hair Metal Gargantuars, as when they are close, they can kill a lot of plants, especially the former during the same Rap Jam. Moreover, Breakdancer Zombie kicking another Breakdancer Zombie is even more dangerous, allowing them to become a relay system of sorts that can bring zombies into your defences quickly.

Tips

 * Plant Garlics on Breakdancer Zombies to change their lane into the lane that has no dangerous zombies, making their special ability useless.
 * Plant Blovers on time to kill all kicked zombies. This may require speed and timing skill. (Its more effective, when using Thyme Warp first)
 * Try to kill Breakdancer Zombies quickly by using Area-of-effect plants, such as Laser Bean.
 * Use slowing plants to have more time for you to stop Breakdancer Zombies.
 * Use Chard Guards to repel zombies that are kicked by the Breakdancer Zombie.
 * Use Iceberg Lettuce or Stunion to freeze or stun the zombie he's about to kick. Frozen and stunned Zombies cannot be kicked.

Trivia

 * Breakdancer Zombie and Jester Zombie use the same animation and spinning effects. However, Breakdancer Zombie rotates himself 180 degree then spins instead.
 * Breakdancer Zombie and MC Zom-B are the only special Neon Mixtape Tour zombies that share a jam, which is rap. All other special zombies have their own jam.
 * He is slightly faster than MC Zom-B despite both having Hungry speed, allowing him to catch up to and kick MC Zom-B into your defences.
 * Zombies that are in mid-air after being kicked by this zombie can be blown away by Blover.
 * He can kick zombies past Infi-nut's force field.
 * Breakdancer Zombie and Boombox Zombie are the only special zombies in Neon Mixtape Tour that cannot instantly kill any plant, even if their jams play.
 * When Breakdancer Zombie is slowed while spinning, the player can see his legs sticking out of the whirlwind.
 * When his jam plays, squeaking of his shoes can be heard.
