Prior to the 7.4 update, Modern Day - Day 36 was the 36th day of Modern Day. The player must survive whilst avoiding planting on Dave's mold colonies. Upon completing the level, the player receives a Modern Day Piñata.
As of the 7.4 update, level expansions were removed from the world maps and placed into epic quests. Because of this, this level is no longer accessible from the map, and must be accessed when the epic quest is available.
This level is no longer available due to the first two levels of each expansion epic quest being removed in the 9.1.1 update.
Difficulty[]
Do not let the small number of waves underestimate this level, as it is very difficult and can be lost immediately. The two Imp Cannons that spawn first can launch Imps directly to the mold colonies. Zombies in each wave are also high in density and come in big waves. There are also Newspaper Zombies to deal with and Wizard Zombies to make setting up proper defenses harder. This level may take a few tries to nail a strategy down. Instant use plants are highly recommended.
Waves[]
- The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.

Strategy 3[]
- Created by Magicwaterz
- Notes: This strategy is ideal for those who can't purchase any Premium items be it paid or in gems. For those who are able to buy an extra slot, you can use any plant to your liking that will make it easy for you.
- Required plants:
- Primal Sunflower or Sun-shroom, Sun-shroom might be a better alternative
- Puff-shroom
- Iceberg Lettuce
- Primal Potato Mine
- Cherry Bomb
- Infi-nut
- Shadow-shroom
- Plant a column of Primal Sunflowers on the 8th column.
- Plant 2 Puff-shrooms on the 4th and 5th columns on the rows where the Imp Cannons are. Freeze one of the cannons with Iceberg Lettuce to buy time. Plant Infi-nuts immediately after the Puff-shroom. Plant some more Primal Sunflowers on the 4th column now.
- Plant a Primal Potato Mine between the Imp Cannons. Plant a Shadow-shroom on the 3rd row, 4th column. Guard it with an Infi-Nut.
- Place a Cherry Bomb on where the zombie bearing the Plant Food is. Save the Plant Food on the Shadow-shroom until another zombie bearing the Plant Food enters the field.
- Place Primal Potato Mine adjacent to where an Imp Cannon is. Place a Cherry Bomb on the other Imp Cannon. Keep placing Puff-shrooms to delay the zombies' progression.
- During the final wave, use the Plant Food on Shadow-shroom. The 2 Wizard Zombies remaining can be destroyed by Cherry Bombs or Puff-shrooms.
Strategy 4 (Spear-mint strategy)[]
- Required plants:
- (at least lvl 3) or
- Plant a column of Primal Sunflowers on the 8th column, and 3 more at column 4, rows 1,3,5.
- Use iceberg, puff shroom, and primal wall nut to stall the imps. Freeze the imp cannons. Plant a mine between the 2 cannons.
- When the first wave comes all 8 sunflowers should be planted. So dig up those sunflowers at the 8th column and plant a wall nut. Take note of the imps stalled beforehand, use hurrikale to blow'em back and dig up the wall nuts for sun refund. Plant the guacodiles if needed.
- During the second wave, plant spearmint (hopefully all 5 primal wall nuts are already planted).
- Continue stalling the zombies, but eventually dig up a wall nut and plant a mine when you see bucketheads and newspapers coming.
- During final wave, 1 column of guacodiles should be present. Use the puff shrooms/ lettuce to distract/stall the wizards.
- Note that no plant food has been used, so player can use them on primal sunflowers.
