Difficulty
The difficulty will differ depending on what Zombot the player confronts.
 * The Zombot Tuskmaster 10,000 BC is nearly unchanged. The only difference other than health is the addition of Lost City plants, as well as keeping Hot Potato and Fire Peashooter. The player is only given two Fire Peashooters this time around, as well as more Hot Potatoes. Due to lack of multi-directional plants, the player should not have threat against the topmost and bottom-most lanes.
 * The Zombot Aerostatic Gondola doesn't add much other than Neon Mixtape Tour plants. Watch out for Spore-shrooms that can prematurely activate trap tiles.
 * The Zombot Multi-stage Masher is not changed, other than giving more Cacti. Jurassic Marsh plants are given, and it is much easier until the Metal phase.
 * The Zombot Dinotronic Mechasaur is mostly unchanged, with Modern Day plants given, including Moonflower. However, these plants are weak, and the zombies are quite strong. Also, the player does not receive Perfume-shroom that can help charm the dinosaurs during the battle.

Strategy 1: Solid Wall

 * Place Red Stingers in the first column.
 * They will all be 'Full Force'
 * Place your warming plants in the second.
 * A.K.E.Es in the third and fourth.
 * Endurians in the fifth.
 * This leaves just enough space so that the Zombot's ice will not go over the Endurians.

Replace the Endurians when they are at their final stage. Stall the boss with Stallias. Use your hot potatoes to melt ice blocks, NOT the Zombot Tuskmaster's ice shield, as this summons zombies. Instead wait for them to be destroyed by your Red Stingers and A.K.E.Es. Also, you don't get any plant food, so it's slightly harder.

General Strategy
THIS ARTICLE IS A STUB. PLEASE HELP EXPAND IT AND ADD SEARATE STRATEGIES IF YOU CAN.


 * Use your Phat beets to attack the boss and the Excavator Zombies, and your Spore-shrooms to defeat the other zombies. You are awarded many Phat beets in this level, so the Parachuters will be killed quickly. Be aware of your spore-sh room density, though, as large amounts will almost always kill a Parachuter before the Phat Beets. Celery stalkers can be used to effectively annihilate the summoned zombies, and Garlics can be used to funnel zombies away from your Phat Beets.

Trivia

 * The Zombots' zombie spawn cycle has noticeably changed, with one exception due to jams.
 * The Zombots spawn noticeably more zombies as usual, to keep up with the five Jalapeno rating of Modern Day.
 * Moonflower is the first sun-producing plant to be used in a conveyor-belt level.
 * However, Moonflower will not produce sun, and is only provided to boost shadow plants. When Plant Food is used, sun will be created, but collecting it does nothing, because it will disappear.
 * There is a glitch that makes the conveyor-belt deliver seed packets that are invisible. It is unknown what triggers this. To fix this, simply restart the level.
 * There is a glitch that is shared with Frostbite Caves - Day 30. If the player gets the Zombot Tuskmaster 10,000 B.C, the Zombot doesn't spawn zombies at all. This makes the level impossible to lose and become easier.
 * The glitch is now fixed as of 4.8.1 update.
 * Unlike in Neon Mixtape Tour - Day 32, the player can be given more than three Cacti, likely because it is the only attacking plant given besides Primal Peashooter.
 * Additionally, the player could push a Breakdancer Zombie during the rap jam using a Primal Peashooter far enough for the Breakdancer Zombie to push the Zombot Multi-stage Masher forward, increasing the total difficulty of the level, though if a shockwave from a speaker hit the Zombot, it will be killed. Before this level, it was also possible to perform this with Power Toss.
 * Getting the Breakdancer Zombie to kick the stage however requires huge luck, due to the high damage of the peas, the Breakdancer Zombie's low health and the 50-50 chance of knockback or stun. Using Plant Food could increase the chances.
