Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies

Shop

Crazy Dave at his shop trying to induce the player into buying.

Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies is Crazy Dave's shop and is located in the trunk of his car. The player gains access to it after finding his Car Key at the end of Level 3-4. On Android and iOS versions, the Car Key is given to the player by Crazy Dave after More Ways to Play is unlocked on Level 2-2. Once in every level set (Fog and Roof) afterwards, new items will be added. The player can purchase more seed slots, upgrade plants, new defenses for the Pool and the Roof, and Zen Garden items, in addition to various House Blueprints (Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network only) and Mini-game Packs (iOS and Android only).

In the Xbox Live Arcade, and PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita version, Crazy Dave will give the player "CRAAZY DEALS that you'd have to be dead to turn down!". It is unclear what these deals actually are, as no one has confirmed getting one yet. When obtained, they might show up in the player's mail.

Items available[]

Extra seed slots[]

These can be purchased at any time, and the next one becomes available as soon as the previous one has been purchased. They can also be purchased before the shop is even available, as whenever the player has enough money for the next one at the end of a level, Crazy Dave will appear and offer the player an extra slot.

  • Extra seed slot seven - $750
  • Extra seed slot eight - $5000
  • Extra seed slot nine - $20,000
  • Extra seed slot ten - $80,000
    • The tenth seed slot is not available on iOS, Mobiles with Samsung Bada OS, Nintendo DS, and Android versions of the game because the screen is not large enough to fit it.

Extra defenses[]

These items are extra lines of defense used either in conjunction with or as replacement of standard Lawn Mowers.

  • Pool Cleaner Pool Cleaner - $1000
    • Last line defense for the pool lanes in the Pool and Fog stages.
  • Garden Rake Garden Rake - $200
    • The garden rake will kill the first zombie that spawns in a level. It lasts for three levels before it has to be purchased again.
  • Roof Cleaner Roof Cleaner - $3000
    • Last line defense for all five lanes in the Roof stage.

Upgrades[]

Upgrades must be planted on top of other plants. These are unlocked in a set of two at a time. The first set is available after Level 3-4, the next two are unlocked after Level 4-4, two more after Level 5-1, and the final two after completing Adventure Mode (beating Level 5-10).

Game Packs[]

Game packs are, as their name suggests, packs that contain mini-games or puzzles. There are two separate mini-game purchases: ZomBotany (iOS and Android versions only) and Slot Machine (HD iPad version only). As of update 3.4.2 in the IOS version, the five mini-game packs were removed from the shop, allowing users to purchase each mini-game individually from the mini-game menu, overall, allowing you to buy mini-games while farming less money. The puzzle packs remain in the shop.

Trivia[]

IMG 1463

This purchase confirmation message appears when the player has the Enlightened achievement and attempts to buy a sprout from Crazy Dave

  • If the player idles on Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies, Crazy Dave will say one of the following:
    • "I eat food off the floor!"
    • "ACT NOW! I'M CRRRRRAAAZY!!"
    • "All Twiddydinkies are priced to move!"
    • "Our prices are unbelievable!"
Warandpeas
  • In the trunk of Crazy Dave's car, the title WAR AND PEAS can be seen, an allusion to War and Peace, a novel by Russian author Leo Tolstoy.
    • In LawnStrings.txt, ZomBotany mini-games are labelled 'War and Peas'.
    • In the iPad version, the book sports a peculiar orange scribble.
    • This was also referenced in Chompzilla's first strategy deck in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.
      Lexbookworm
  • Also in the car trunk, a figure of Lex, the protagonist of Bookworm, another game made by PopCap Games, can be seen.
  • In the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, Crazy Dave's license plate displays various lines instead of "Menu", "Main Menu", and "Go Back". Some lines include MEAMDAV ("Me am Dave"), SODALID ("Soda Lid"), VRM VRM ("Vroom Vroom"), SMTNFNY ("Something Funny"), UN EMPLD (Unemployed), MAD4GRVY ("Mad for Gravy"), FLOR FUD ("Floor food"), and RDWARER ("Road Warrior").
    • In the TV version of the game, except for SODALID, RDWARER, SMTNFNY, MAD4GRVY, FLORFUD, UNEMPLD AND VRM VRM, there are also new lines including IM CR8Z ("I'm Crazy"), BUYSMTN ("Buy Something"), GR8 DLZ ("Great Deals") and 1N1RTRE.
    • In the Stop Zombie Mouth! video, Crazy Dave's license plate says FLOSSBOSS ("Floss Boss"). However, the top right screw appears to be missing.
  • After the player has bought the tenth seed slot, it will say "Sold Out" as intended, but the player will be able to see behind the letters a "11 Slot" caption, which means even more seed slots could've been planned to use in the game, but were scrapped.
  • After buying a level five blueprint from Crazy Dave, the blueprint will say "Sold Out", but the price will increase by $8000. It is unclear if PopCap Games intends to bring even higher tier blueprints to the game later in the form of an update or downloadable content (DLC), or if the system is just set to add $8000 each time. This also happens with seed packets on versions that have only nine seed slots. After the player buys the ninth seed slot, the price will increase to $80,000.
  • Overall, the player would need to spend $308,200 (PC), $878,250 (old iOS), $678,250 (iPad), $628,250 (iOS), $217,200 (DS), and $933,300 (Xbox and PlayStation). This includes all house blueprints, but does not include any temporary items (Mallets, tree food, fertilizer, bug spray, rakes), the bacon after $50 (Since it’s an optional purchase), the $750 seventh seed slot (Since you will buy it before you unlock the shop), as well as the $10,000 minigame purchase (It is required and money is provided), or the individual minigame prices after IOS update 3.4.2 (Because prices vary due to occasional sales, and aren’t really part of the shop anymore anyway). This also does not include any marigold sprouts or mystery sprouts in the IOS version because they can be purchased multiple times (Once a day)
  • The background of the shop changes depending on the player's level progress in Adventure Mode. If they are playing Day, Pool, or Roof levels, the background will turn into a day background, and when they play Night, Fog, or Night Roof levels, the background will turn into a night background.
  • There are roller skates in his trunk for some reason. Also, in the iPad version, there is a brain in his trunk as well.
  • On the iPhone, iPod Touch and Android versions, the shop is obtained when More Ways To Play is unlocked on Level 2-2 so the player can buy mini-games. Other things do not appear until the bacon is obtained on Level 3-4.
  • In the PC trial version, the full version of the game is an item in the shop.
    • Additionally, the Twin Sunflower cannot be bought in the trial version.
  • The Imitater is the only plant sold in Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies that is not an upgrade plant.
  • In Cannons Away of Plants vs. Zombies 2, if the player reaches the combo of five or higher, it will say "Twiddydinkies!".
  • In Plants vs. Zombies (Nintendo DS) The Wheel Barrow And Tree Food for the Tree of Wisdom Will display as Coming Soon for those who have not bought the Tree of Wisdom yet.
  • According to the Plants vs. Zombies Readme, Crazy Dave's car is a Toyota Corolla.[1]
