Content from worlds that either went unused, were scrapped, or went through changes found within the game files prior to their release.
Unused Worlds[]
Tutorial World[]
There are codes for a tutorial world, in which the first four tutorial levels could have been played again like normal levels. This was later scrapped for an unknown reason.
Prehistoric World[]
Before the android release, there was data for a world simply named "prehistoric." Nothing else existed for this world, except its existence in the world map selection data.
Time Twister[]
Time Twister was originally in the game files, but it was later removed. It would have been the final world, composed of features from all the previous worlds. The idea would later be incorporated as Modern Day, as both contain previous world gimmicks and zombies. The name was later reused for a Piñata Party event, and the world icon was later used for the game mode Penny's Pursuit.
Ancient Egypt[]
Door overlay[]
Sprite overlays exist for the entrance to the home with the door open, suggesting that at one point a small cutscene would play of the zombies entering your home like in the first game.

GravestoneZombieOnDestruction[]
Would have summoned a Peasant Zombie upon destruction.
GravestoneMysteryZombieOnDestruction[]
Would have presumably summoned a random zombie upon destruction according to its internal name, but is only set to summon a regular Peasant Zombie.
GravestoneMysterySunOnDestruction[]
Would have presumably given a random amount of sun when destroyed according to its internal name, but only gives the same amount as a regular Sun Gravestone.
GravestoneZombieTimeSpawner[]
Would have spawned Peasant Zombies. Each time spawner has a set time to start summoning zombies upon spawning or start of the game, along with a wait time between summon and another until it self destructs, releasing several of them.
- Initial Wait Time: 20 seconds
- Until Next Summon: 10 seconds
- Seconds to Self Destruct: 69 seconds
GravestoneZombieTimeSpawner_Cone[]
Would have spawned Conehead Peasants.
- Initial Wait Time: 20 seconds

- Initial Wait Time: 20 seconds
- Until Next Summon: 10 seconds
- Seconds to Self Destruct: 69 seconds
GravestoneZombieTimeSpawner_WideCone[]
Wide variant of the regular Conehead Peasant time spawner. However, it just summons regular Peasant Zombies.
- Initial Wait Time: 20 seconds
- Until Next Summon: 15 seconds
- Seconds to Self Destruct: 94 seconds
GravestoneZombieTimeSpawner_WideBucket[]
Wide variant of the regular Buckethead Peasant time spawner. However, it just summons regular Peasant Zombies.
- Initial Wait Time: 20 seconds

GravestoneShortcut[]
Would have made zombies start off from the gravestone instead of the back of the lawn.
GravestonePeashooterOnDestruction[]
Would have summoned a Peashooter upon destruction.
Unused Barricades[]
An unused gimmick which would have made zombies switch lanes. This idea was later repurposed for the ice sliders in Frostbite Caves. Up and Down versions exist, alongside non-colliding variants.
Unused Gimmicks[]
Sunflowers blocked[]
Sunflowers and Twin Sunflowers were originally going to be prevented from being used in this world. Early text suggests it was because they fell asleep.
Slower Plant Cooldowns[]
NonDarkPlantSlowCooldown is an unused gimmick which would have doubled the recharge time of plants obtained outside of Dark Ages. The code for this gimmick would later be used in Arena and Penny's Pursuit, still leaving this one unused.
Unreleased Dark Ages Expansion[]
A Dark Ages expansion was planned to be released along with an Epic Quest, but went unreleased. This was accidentally teased in the 6.1.1 update, where there were three new empty zombie slots in the almanac. However, the slots were removed in the following update. Levels for the expansion remained within the files until recent versions of the game. The sprites for the Veteran zombies were leaked in an alpha version for 7.4.1, but not left over in the final release.
Big Wave Beach[]
This version was changed from the code as of the 2.7.1 update.
- Its early/prototype name was "The Beach."
- The early description was "Check out the beach, it's hot. Get it? Hot!"
- Tiki Torch-er was originally named "Coastal Calamity."
- The world was originally only going to have 20 levels, like Dark Ages. Later changed to 24, then finally 32.

Unused Bulb Bowling features[]
Early code indicates that Bulb Bowling was going to be much more closer to Wall-nut Bowling from the first game.
Coin drops[]
The projectiles for the bulbs have unused code which have allowed them to drop coins, on hit and after a certain amount of bounces against zombies.
Unused Mini Game Bulb[]
An unused projectile that would have presumably been used as the basic projectile for the mini-game, instead of the more variation seen in the final release.
Giant Bulb[]
A giant version of the Bowling Bulb was going to appear in Bulb Bowling, although only in Day 8, as no code exists for it on Day 24. It functions similarly to the Giant Wall-nut in the mini-game Wall-nut Bowling 2 from Plants vs. Zombies.
Early Bulb Seed Packets[]
Early versions of the Bulb Bowling seed packets.
Frostbite Caves[]
Ice Age world preview (unfinished)
- Its early/protoype name was Ice Age.
- Icebound Battleground was originally named "Frozen Fear."

Unused level[]
There is an unused Frostbite Caves Locked and Loaded level with five Hot Potatoes and a lawn full of plants frozen in ice blocks. The level constantly freezes your plants, forcing you to use Hot Potatoes. It might have been an early version of Frostbite Caves - Day 24.
Trivia[]
- It was the first level with multiple versions of the same plant, with five Hot Potatoes (not counting imitated plants). Furthermore, it is also the only other level where all the tiles are pre-planted on and frozen; the second being a step in Electrical Boogaloo.
- It is the only other level not to feature ice floes, the other being Frostbite Caves - Day 30.
Whack-A-Zombie[]
Whack a Zombie was meant to return as a mini-game for Frostbite Caves, evident by the unused dialog found in the game files. Code also exists, but no sprites associated with it.
[NARRATIVE_ICEAGE_INTRO_MINIGAME_1]
{NPC_ENTER:crazydave}{NPC_ENTER:winnie}{SAY:crazydave}{SAY:crazydave}It's too quiet. Where is everyone? I have a bad feeling about this.

[NARRATIVE_ICEAGE_INTRO_MINIGAME_6]
{SAY:crazydave}I'm sorry. Can't help it. Have to say it. It's ... hammer time.
Lost City[]
Early Gold Tiles[]
Gold tiles functioned somewhat different in earlier versions of the game. They would give 100 sun instead of 50, did not give out any upon first planting, and had a 25 second wait time instead 20. It was also tied to some sort of in-game event. If you had a number amount of plants on gold tiles during a certain point of the game, it would drop a bunch of sun if you were winning (had the number of plants on gold tiles required), or take away sun if the zombies were winning (not enough plants on gold tiles).
Unused achievement[]
Can't Stop the Rock: Defeat 5 zombies with a single boulder trap. The achievement was proven to be too easy, as even a zombie itself can achieve this for the player in Lost City - Day 22.
Neon Mixtape Tour[]
Early name[]
According to the string files of the credits of the 3.9 update, the world is referred to internally as "Mondo Mixtape Tour." Likely an early name.
Early lawn[]
The early lawn was identical to the current one but has red cups all over the place. These were likely removed due to having a reference to alcohol.

Jurassic Marsh[]
- Jurassic Marsh's prototype name was Mesozoic Marsh.
- Mesozoic Marsh (old name of Jurassic Marsh) in Part 1, would have only had 2 dinosaurs (raptor and stegosaurus).
- In Part 2, there would be 3 dinosaurs (T. Rex, Ankylosaurus and either Pterodactyl, Brontosaurus, or a new dinosaur).
- In version 4.1.1, Cold Snapdragons home world was set to Jurassic Marsh, meaning it was originally unlocked from playing Jurassic Marsh instead of being a premium plant.
Modern Day[]
Unused Beghouled Power Up[]
There is an unused powerup in Beghouled which was cyan in color and depicated a shovel filling a hole. It was likely an early version of Power Shovel.
Unused achievement[]
99 Undead Balloons: Prevent Balloon Zombies from crossing the 5th column. The reason for this being removed is possibly because Blover can blow Balloon Zombies away easily before they can even reach the 5th column.
