Difficulty[]
The player has to deal with the new Dolphin Rider Zombie, the faster pool version of Pole Vaulting Zombie. After Dolphin Rider Zombie jumps over one plant, it loses its dolphin and moves like a regular Zombie, similarly to Pole Vaulting Zombie.
Torchwood (only if you choose Repeater, and have nine seed slots)
Plant two rows of Sunflowers with Potato Mines to kill the beginning zombies. Once you have enough sun, plant Repeaters or Snow Peas on every lane. Use two of them on pool lanes.
Plant Squash in the pool lanes so that the Ducky Conehead Zombies die before reaching them and the Dolphin Rider Zombies will get dragged down by them.
Plant at least two columns of Wall-nuts In the pool lanes, and if you chose Spikeweeds, plant Spikeweeds in every land spot not taken to defend the expensive Repeaters.
In the final wave, two Dolphin Rider Zombies and the three Conehead Zombies (that emerges from the pool) are the biggest threats. Make sure you have enough Repeaters and Squash to deal with them.
Strategy 2[]
Required plants:
Sunflower
Repeater
Snow Pea
Lily Pad
Tangle Kelp
Potato Mine
Plant Tangle Kelp in the last two pool lanes.
Make sure to have 2 rows of Sunflowers.
Potato Mine the first few zombies.
If you have enough sun, plant two columns of Repeaters.
